Hi Diana, We were discussing this very thing at the Adobe booth at STC this week...
The consensus was that you will want a tool that converts your FM content into XHTML (I recommend using the TCS2 workflow to link FM docs into RoboHelp for XHTML output) You'll then use a tool like Calibre (OpenSource) to convert into an ePub format. -Matt ________________________________ Matt Sullivan GRAFIX Training 714 960-6840 714 585-2335 cell /txt/sms skype: mattrsullivan http://www.grafixtraining.com http://blogs.roundpeg.com http://www.linkedin.com/in/mattrsullivan http://twitter.com/mattrsullivan http://twitter.com/roundpeginc -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Scott Prentice Sent: Friday, May 07, 2010 1:21 PM To: Diana Stock Cc: 'Framers' Subject: Re: eBooks Hi Diana... This may not be exactly what you're looking for .. but I've been successful at using the "dita4publishers" DITA-OT plugin to convert DITA content (authored in FM or other XML editors) to the ePub format. If you'd like more info on this, let me know.
