Mif2Go Question -- No .hhp file produced

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi,

Incidentally a colleague had the same problem today.
He had selected the wrong export format. Instead of
MS HTML Help he had selected Standard HTML.

Best regards

Winfried

If he set WriteHelpProjectFile explicitly to No:

[MSHtmlHelpOptions]
WriteHelpProjectFile=No

then no .hhp woud be written.  If he did not set it, and thus
left it at the default (of Yes), an .hhp would be written 
*unless* one already existed.  If he set it explicitly to Yes:

[MSHtmlHelpOptions]
WriteHelpProjectFile=Yes

then a new .hhp would always be written, overwriting the
previous one.

It's possible he's set an HHPFileName that can't be written
because it's on a nonexistent drive, or points to a directory
where he lacks write permission, or is an invalid file name.

If he set WriteHelpProjectFile explicitly to No:

[MSHtmlHelpOptions]
WriteHelpProjectFile=No

then no .hhp woud be written.  If he did not set it, and thus
left it at the default (of Yes), an .hhp would be written 
*unless* one already existed.  If he set it explicitly to Yes:

[MSHtmlHelpOptions]
WriteHelpProjectFile=Yes

then a new .hhp would always be written, overwriting the
previous one.

It's possible he's set an HHPFileName that can't be written
because it's on a nonexistent drive, or points to a directory
where he lacks write permission, or is an invalid file name.

Mif2Go Question -- No .hhp file produced

[Lin Surasky]

Hi all-

I'm posting for a remote colleage who is trying to generate HTML Help
from FrameMaker 7.2 (unstructured). He says there is no .hhp file
created when he runs Mif2Go, but doesn't get any errors. Since I can't
see what he's doing, where should I tell him to look (other than the
User  Guide!) to see what's wrong? I've never had this problem, and have
no idea if it's even possible assuming he is choosing MS HTML Help as
the format (which he is).

Any ideas?

Thanks!
Lin

We can't tell without seeing a test case; we've never seen
this happen before.

Please put together a *one-page* test case, with the files
listed in the User's Guide, Appendix D, and send it to the
address given there (*not* the one in this post) inside a 
single .zip file.  Then we'll identify and fix the problem
promptly.

Mif2Go question

[Al Friend]

I'm just getting my feet wet in Mif2Go, and it seems to work pretty well,
with one (so far, for me) exception:

The document I'm trying to export uses paragraph numbering, with each
numbered paragraph set up as follows: a Paralts element containing the
paragraph number, then a Title element with the paragraph title, then a Para
element with any text following the title. I've done this to enable only the
title to be underlined - not the paragraph number or the text. Structure
example:



 [text]
 [text]

It looks kinda like this:

1.3References. Documents referenced in this procedure 

When I export to rtf, the title and para number switch places, so that it
looks like this:

References1.3. Documents referenced in this procedure ...

I tried deleting the Paralts element and placing the numbering in the Title
element as a workaround, but it STILL put the number after the title!

What the heck?

Set your conditions in the FM file.  The help file will show the same
condition.

MIf2Go question

When using Mif2Go to create MS HTML help, where do I specify which 
conditional text tags to include in the online help?

Correct.  An easy way to do this is to create a "conversion
template", a Frame doc that has the conditions set as you 
want them.  You can also use the conversion template to
modify xref formats (as in removing page numbers) and to
change para and char formats (for which Mif2Go will write
the correesponding CSS for you).  Mif2Go imports the 
template formats at conversion time, without affecting
the original Frame files.

This is all explained in the User's Guide, par. 2.3, 
"Importing formats from a conversion template".
