### 7.4.1 Understanding how contents levels are assigned

When you set up a Mif2Go Help project from FrameMaker, Mif2Go automatically assigns contents levels to heading paragraphs, as a first approximation. Be sure to check these assignments, and correct any that are not what you want. Contents levels are assigned to paragraph formats in the following configuration-file sections:

Help type | Section | Reference
WinHelp | [HelpCntStyles] | 7.4.2
HTML-based Help | [HelpContentsLevels] | 7.4.3

Levels in the contents might not correspond exactly to heading levels in your FrameMaker document, but they should be self consistent.

Avoid skipped contents levels

Hardly any Help systems allow skipped levels in the TOC. This usually happens when your FrameMaker document includes a sub subheading directly under a major heading, before the first subheading. Avoid this pattern; at the very least, exclude such sub subheadings from the TOC. By default, Mif2Go inserts the missing level, which works for some Help systems, but not for Eclipse Help. Skipped contents levels result in a warning in the Mif2Go log file.
