#### 17.4.4.1 Understanding how Mif2Go creates ID attribute values

When Mif2Go assigns an ID to a block element in DocBook, the value of the ID attribute is a combination of the Mif2Go FileID of the FrameMaker file being processed and the FrameMaker ObjectID of the paragraph from which the element was generated; see §5.1.10 Preserving Word-generated cross-reference markers.

If a particular block element requires an ID value, Mif2Go looks for a DocBookElemID marker in the paragraph from which the element was generated. If that paragraph does not contain a DocBookElemID marker, Mif2Go uses the content of the first newlink marker in the paragraph as the ID for the element. If there is no newlink marker, and you have requested automatic ID assignment for that element, Mif2Go assigns an ID.

You can override an automatically assigned ID for a particular block element by inserting either a newlink marker or a DocBookElemID marker in the paragraph from which the element is generated; see §17.4.4.4 Specifying an ID for an individual block element or parent.
