6.2.3 Specifying additional processing after conversion

When you set up a new Help project, Mif2Go includes a few postprocessing settings in your newly created configuration file.

Some Help systems require running additional programs after files are converted from FrameMaker: either to compile the output (WinHelp or HTML Help), or to create a search index (JavaHelp or Oracle Help). When you first set up a Mif2Go project to generate one of these Help systems (see §3.4 Choosing project set-up options), you can check an option to have Mif2Go run the additional program after conversion.

WinHelp, HTML Help

If you check Compile when you set up a WinHelp or HTML Help project, Mif2Go adds the following settings to your new configuration file:

[Automation]

CompileHelp = Yes

WrapAndShip = Yes

If you do not check Compile, you get the following settings instead:

[Automation]

CompileHelp = No

WrapAndShip = No

JavaHelp, Oracle Help

Whether or not you check Make FTS for JavaHelp or Oracle Help, Mif2Go includes the following setting in your new configuration file:

[Automation]

WrapAndShip = Yes

OmniHelp, Eclipse Help

For OmniHelp or Eclipse Help, Mif2Go includes the following setting:

[Automation]

WrapAndShip = No

All output types

Mif2Go also includes the following settings in every new project configuration file:

[Automation]

WrapPath = .\wrap

ShipPath = ..\ship

If CompileHelp=Yes or WrapAndShip=Yes, after generating output files Mif2Go copies distributable files to the folder designated by WrapPath (or in the case of JavaHelp or Oracle Help, a folder structure under the folder designated by WrapPath). If you want your final Help files to go somewhere other than subfolder wrap, change the value of WrapPath in your configuration file. See §6.2.4 Compiling and distributing Help systems.
