## 2.7 Setting up multiple interlinked HTML projects

If you wish to convert two or more FrameMaker books to the same HTML output type, and these books contain cross references or hypertext links to each other, you have two basic choices for a conversion environment:

• Use the same project directory for all books

• Use a different project directory for each book.

The first is the simpler choice: all output files from all the books go into the same project directory. Use a single project configuration file for all the projects, with each of the book project files pointing to the project directory. This way Mif2Go will automatically handle all the links between books.

However, if some books include files that have the same name but different content (for example, intro.fm), the files with duplicate names will get overwritten by whichever book is converted last; for the other books, the content will not be correct. In that case, you will need to use a separate project directory for each book, so each has its own configuration file. Then you must tell each book where the files in the other books are located; see §19.6 Linking to other files and other Mif2Go projects.
