### 5.5.1 Converting FrameMaker TOC and IX files

When you are converting a FrameMaker book, you can choose whether to include FrameMaker-generated contents and index files in the process:

[Setup]

; UseFrameTOC = Yes (default, except for Help formats, DocBook,

; and DITA), or No (default for Help formats, DocBook, and DITA)

UseFrameTOC=Yes

; UseFrameIX = Yes (default, except for Help formats, DocBook,

; and DITA), or No (default for Help formats, DocBook, and DITA)

UseFrameIX=Yes

The default value is the same for both UseFrameTOC and UseFrameIX, and depends on the output type you specify:

Output type | Default
Print RTF (Word, WordPerfect) | Yes
WinHelp | No
Standard HTML | Yes
DITA | No
DocBook | No
EclipseHelp | No
JavaHelp | No
MS HTML Help | No
OmniHelp | No
Oracle Help for Java | No
XHTML | Yes
XML | Yes
MIF only | Yes
ASCII DCL only | Yes

Note: These are default values in the sense that Mif2Go presets them that way in the Set Up dialog. But if the settings are not present in your project configuration file because someone deleted them, the default for both is Yes for all output types.

If you are creating a Help system, you should not need either TOC or IX; by default, Mif2Go generates contents and index for Help systems. See §7.3.2 Including FrameMaker TOC and IX in Help systems.

To make sure TOC entries that contain character formatting become active links in their entirety, see §5.10.2 Making an entire paragraph into a hotspot.
