Hi Robert, If the XHTML is valid XML (which it should be), you could use FrameScript and MSXML to parse through the XML and convert the content to unstructured FrameMaker. Obviously, this would be a custom solution, but it could be pretty much push-button if the input is consistent. If you send me an input and output sample, I can give you an idea of what is possible. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments. Thank you very much.

MindTouch Core has no native export function. The source is XHTML. Best bet I've found is copying from IE in WYSIWYG mode and pasting as RTF. Formatting is largely preserved so it's clear what needs to be cleaned up. XHTML tags such as <code> and <h2> show up as paragraph tags. Maybe I could even rename the FM paragraph tags to match and stuff would reformat automatically or if I removed overrides. Conceivably I could switch to structured FrameMaker, import the XHTML, and switch back to unstructured, but that seems unlikely to be faster or cleaner. I can't just do it in structured as I'm stuck with an existing template. Anybody have any other ideas? _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to framers as [email protected]. Send list messages to [email protected].
