## C.5 Working with reference files for HTML or XML

If you are converting to HTML or XML, for each FrameMaker file in your document Mif2Go creates a reference file of information about both ends of every cross reference and every link from, to, or within that FrameMaker file. Mif2Go uses this information to figure out and correct HTML links. Do not edit Mif2Go reference files.

A reference file has the same name as its FrameMaker file, but with extension .ref. Reference files are placed in the project directory, along with HTML or XML output files. However, you do not need to distribute reference files with your output. They are for Mif2Go internal use only.
