MIFML .. http://leximation.com/tools/mifml/ This (free) command line utility converts from MIF to MIFML (and back if you want). I haven't touched it in years but from what I've been told by others it still works fine. You just have to write some XSLT to transform from the MIFML into

MIF to XML may be more straightforward than what I am trying to do (because at a cursory glance, MIF and XML are pretty structurally similar ... with the exception of some binary content). The goal of the MIFreader/analyzer I began last year, was to read and _understand_ the MIF structure, so

I think Scott Prentice was developing a MIF to XML converter. To me, that would give the most options for conversions to some of the other formats. Scott, is your converter still available? Thanks. Rick Quatro Carmen Publishing Inc. r...@frameexpert.com 585-366-4017 -Original

It did not work with FM 2015, and I was working on going the MIF2Go source to see if I could update it. Unfortunately, my temporary license for FM 2015 expired before I made any real progress, so the project stalled. Now that FM 2017 is out, I suspect it does not work. Although I have the

FrameMaker's original job was page layout. The only reason it didn't go the way of Ventura Publisher and PageMaker is that it evolved into an extensible tech docs platform. Some companies (notably Boeing) built large systems around it. Others used add-ons to turn it into a single-source tool. I

The first time I ever saw FM, it was on a UNIX system, probably FM 2 or earlier. The tech writer showing it off blew my mind by using FM's built-in screen capture to shoot the screen and bring in the image, without missing a beat in the content-creation process. IIRC, there was an option to copy

The finale of all of this: It was a limitation, ultimately (pun intended), due to SnagIT on Windows 7 Ultimate. Very long story – but the only .pngs that would not open automatically in SnagIT were those imported into FM 12. Outside FM12, no problem and no problem w/ any pngs in FM12 opening

Hmmm. ASCII was the wrong word. Apparently, I wanted ANSI. Sorry about the confusion. Alt+234 (not 0234) on the numeric keypad is the correct shortcut in both FrameMaker and other Windows programs for inserting the ohm character into text. I've used the same key sequence in Word, and PowerPoint.
