13.2 Setting up a generic XML project

For the most part Mif2Go conversions to XML employ the same project set-up options, conversion methods, macros, and configuration settings as conversions to HTML or XHTML; see §12.1 Setting up an HTML or XML project.

Set-up options

If you are using the FrameMaker plug-in version of Mif2Go, you get the same Set Up dialog for XML as for HTML; see §12.1.2 Choosing set-up options for an HTML or XML project.

Conversion files

The same conversion files are generated and named the same way for XML as for HTML or XHTML; see §C.2.3.2 HTML/XML conversion files.

Default settings

Default values for configuration settings are the same for XML as for XHTML, with the following exceptions:

Section	Keyword	XML default	XHTML default
[Graphics]	GraphScale	No	Yes
[HTMLOptions]	AlignAttributes	No	Yes
	AllowOverrides	No	Yes
	ClassIsTag	Yes	No
	Footnotes	Inline	Jump
	NoFonts	Yes	No
	UseAnums	No	Yes (except lists)
	UseFootXrefTag	Yes	No
	UseHeadAndBody	No	Yes
	UseSpacers	No	Yes
	XMLRoot	doc	html
[Options]	Output	GenXML	XHTML
[Tables]	CellAlignAttributes	No	Yes
	CellColorAttributes	No	Yes
	TableAttributes	No	Yes
	UseCALSModel	Yes	No

Generated files

Converting FrameMaker-generated files is the same process for XML as for HTML; see §12.7 Converting generated files for HTML. However, you can also produce an XML-tagged index directly from FrameMaker index markers; see §13.8 Converting index entries to generic XML.

Markers and macros

If you are converting an unstructured document, you can use markers and Mif2Go macros to introduce structure; see §28 Working with FrameMaker markers and §27 Working with Mif2Go macros.
