### 1.1.1 How Mif2Go is organized

To convert your FrameMaker source to an HTML or RTF representation, Mif2Go provides the means to perform two primary tasks:

• Map FrameMaker formats to output formats.

• Define presentational properties of those output formats.

Mif2Go also carries out a number of output-type-dependent secondary tasks, such as constructing Help file infrastructure.

To map FrameMaker formats to output formats, Mif2Go relies on both rules and instance mark-up. Rules come from settings in configuration files; instance mark-up is in the FrameMaker files themselves, in the form of custom FrameMaker markers.

For output-type-dependent tasks, the rules are in chains of output-type-specific configuration files; for a particular document, the rules are in FrameMaker-source-specific configuration files.
