Responsive HTML5 output from FrameMaker 2019 uses the ".htm" filename extension. How do I get output that uses the standard ".html" filename extension?

Aren't they the same anyway?

Not to the localization strings management vendor I'm working with.

Most localization companies I've read about would take your FM files, not the output to translate. Anyways, I know of no setting that you can set to control the extension of the output files inside FM. I think you're going to have to run a post-output find & replace to fix the files to the desired extension without busting the references inside them.

Maybe letting them just rename the files has a learning effect? 😉

That said, why do you send them the htm files at all - and not the source files? If you send them the htm files, don't you need to resend them through the translation process with them everytime you genereate a new output?

Discussing the post processing impact doesn't address my question.

Is ".htm" hardcoded into FM? That extension is a throwback to very old Windows restrictions.

fwiw, I asked a more programming-savvy colleague for help with a similar question and now use a single line in a cygwin window

   for file in shwa_*; do mv "$file" "$file.dita"; done

This reads all filenames starting with shwa_and renames them by appending .dita

I imagine an equivalent for you could be something like this, but I'm not promising :-}

   for file in *htm; do mv "$file" "$filel"; done

But would that command fix all the refs inside all the files too?
