### 21.11.2 Converting list formats to HTML list styles

HTML list tags are far more restrictive than straight CSS. However, if the following are true, you should be able to successfully convert FrameMaker list formats to HTML list styles:

• Either the list formats in your document do not have complex autonumbers, or you can allow those that do to become <p> items in the output instead.

• The list formats in your FrameMaker document indicate when a new list or sub-list begins. Mif2Go tries to emulate FrameMaker numbering using HTML list tags, but needs guidance from the FrameMaker formats you use to know where nested lists begin, continue, and end.

In most cases browsers will reformat the list styles unaided, and they will come out as you expect. However, see §21.11.3 Indenting list items for ways you might have to modify CSS properties to line up indents.

Note: Unless you specify XHTML as the output type, Mif2Go does not generate </li> closing tags, because browsers tend to space poorly when </li> is present.
