Subject: RE: HTML -> DocBook Conversion?
Hello Roger, Is the FrameMaker document already in structured form in FrameMaker? If not, then this information may not help. I have webbed a detailed rerecord of my experience with DocBook+FrameMaker at: http://www.getnet.net/~swhitlat Follow the DocBook link on the left. Because you say you converted the document to HTML first, perhaps I should have reason to think you already know that the document must be marked up as a DocBook document. I expect that a FrameMaker document of any considerable complexity, without some very intelligent conversion tools, would probably not fair well in a conversion to DocBook via HTML. For a single document, I would probably do the work manually. However, there could be a solution going to MIF and then sending the MIF file through some type of tag-mapping process via Perl or another text manipulation tool. To learn how to do that would probably take some people (me) much, much longer than the manual process. So, for a single document, it's just work. For hundreds or thousands of documents, a MIF expert who knows the text conversion tools would be the solution. Some consultants who fit that category often participate on the various FrameMaker mailing lists.
