RE: HTML to MIF?

2007-12-07 Thread Carey Bates

You can use Mif2Go to convert HTML to mif. You can also use a tool called 
gregor. Do a google and you should find that it works well. I've converted HTML 
to .txt and then to .mif manually. Try that too.

Good luck,
Carey

Subject: HTML to MIF?
 

So, I'm looking for a way to produce a MIF file from a batch of HTML files.

Looking through the list archives, I see that Omni Systems is/was
considering the development of "Go2Mif" for this purpose. However, since I
haven't heard anything recent about it, I'm assuming that its release isn't
imminent, at any rate.

Has anyone had any success in doing this? If so, what tools did you use?

In the past, I've used XSLT to create MIF files from XML files. However,
given that HTML frequently isn't "well-formed XML," I'm not at all confident
that an XSLT solution would be feasible.

Anyway, any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

RE: Word tables to FM Tables?

2007-10-19 Thread Carey Bates
I have also use Framescript for this - you convert the word document
using a script that you then convert into Frame (text) sort of like an
inset.

I can send an example if you are using Framescript. Or check out

Radha, a search of the archives for this list and other lists that

for this. O'Keefe and Loring's "FrameMaker 7" book discusses the process
and the Table Cleaner plug-in on p. 187. Also, the document at

excellent overview of Word-to-Frame conversion efforts, has a section on
table conversions, and includes a Word macro at the end that can be used

Subject: Word tables to FM Tables?

Hi,
   
  I have to update an existing FM Book with new requirements. I am given
a Word document with about 10 tables (and lot of other text content
too). The size of the tables range from 5 to 40 rows and 3 to 5 columns.
Is there a way to quickly copy/import that Word table data into FM
tables? My FM files have named, designed tables. Using FM7.0 with XP.
   
  Thanks for your help.

Your plan looks good. I think that the restrictions are ..

- unlimited length (within reason)
