### 21.12.4 Converting list formats to HTML/XML paragraphs

Mif2Go can map list formats to <p> items. CSS preserves the numbering used in your FrameMaker document, no matter how complex. If you allow Mif2Go to create a CSS file for your document (see §22 Setting up CSS for HTML), Mif2Go uses CSS to reproduce the original indents.

Some things to consider about converting lists:

• You must use this method for list formats with complex autonumbers that have no counterpart in HTML; for example, the multi-level section numbers in the Mif2Go User's Guide (this document).

• Because autonumbers are converted to text with this method, you cannot insert new items in a numbered list in the HTML output (something you should not be doing anyway) without manually renumbering the rest of the list.

• When you convert lists from FrameMaker to regular paragraphs, rather than use HTML list styles, by default Mif2Go retains the FrameMaker autonumbers (including bullets). To remove them, see §21.3.3 Converting paragraph formats with autonumbers.
