Eric,
Since a conversion table is not context sensitive, the earlier responses
that a conversion table cannot handle this situation is correct. Rather
than manual retagging, however, what I do in this situation is use a
conversion table to create a preliminary structure. I save the result as
XML and use XSLT (which can look at both the element tagging derived from
the conversion table and the content) to create the final structure which I
then read back into FrameMaker. Since the XSLT transform can be run as
either a postprocess on the original save or a preprocess on the import, to
the user the conversion appears to involve three steps:
1) Apply the conversion table
2) Save the result as a temporary XML file
3) Open the XML
XSLT can do other useful things such as remove content that was typed in
the unstructured document but becomes a prefix or suffix in the structured
version.
