### 15.2.1 Creating a DITA XML project

To create a DITA XML project:

1. Create a directory for DITA output, separate from the directory where your FrameMaker document is located.

2. With your FrameMaker book or document file open, choose File > Set Up Mif2Go Export; the Choose Project dialog opens (see §3.3 Creating a Mif2Go conversion project).

3. Name your DITA XML project, and browse to the project directory you created in Step 1.

4. Choose output type DITA XML and click OK.

5. Check options in the Set Up DITA Project dialog (see §15.2.2 Choosing set-up options for a DITA XML project).

6. Click OK to dismiss the dialog.

When you click OK on the Set Up DITA Project dialog, Mif2Go copies a new project configuration file, _m2dita.ini, to your project directory. In addition to the settings you specified in the set-up dialog, this file contains a series of empty configuration sections. It is up to you to fill these sections with the rest of the settings required to convert your document. Use a text editor to edit _m2dita.ini; see §4.1 Working with Mif2Go configuration files. Pay special attention to sections [DITAParaTags], [DITACharTags], and [DITAParents]; see §15.2.7 Substituting document format names for default names.

Note: Your FrameMaker book name must not duplicate the name of any chapter file.
