I wouldn't advise anyone to use MSXML. It's a proprietary format. I
know, that's an oxymoron in conjunction with XML in general, but it's
true. Add to that Microsoft's penchant for adding extraneous,
gratuitous, and bloated code to it's conversion output and it would
seem counter-productive
Hi all,
Rick isn't talking about using the Word XML document format in this
case. He is talking about using the MSXML Active X control that is
built into windows.
FrameScript can pass instructions to this control, which opens up the
ability to generate custom XML directly from FrameMaker,
Thanx to you both for the info!

MSXML is just an extension for programming languages. It provides
commands for opening XML files, finding nodes, adding nodes, that sort
of thing. Microsoft maintains it, but despite this it works pretty well.

Hi Scott,
MSXML is not a format but an XML parser/processor. It is very fast and
stable, and has a small footprint. I have heard even ardent Microsoft-haters
say that it is an excellent XML tool. Best of all, it can be controlled from
FrameScript. It is also free.

Hi Scott,
Confidence is gained from experience. I have confidence in MSXML because I
have used it successfully in dozens of my scripts. I have not heard a single
complaint from any of my clients that have it installed. If you discount
software just because it is from Microsoft, you will miss

does a 100% conversion from MIF to XML. I used it to mass change
unstructured FrameMaker documents to custom XML using MIFML as the
starting point, followed by quite a bit of custom XSL stylesheets.

As Art said, Mif2Go does that job. It does it for both
structured and unstructured Frame files, effectively, with

Hi Darren,
I think Scott Prentice has an application that does this; check
http://www.leximation.com. You could also use FrameScript and MSXML to go
directly from FrameMaker to XML, bypassing MIF altogether. If you are
interested in this approach, please contact me offlist. Thanks.
