Left-brain/right-brain: FrameMaker and XHTML

2007-03-23 Thread Steve Rickaby
It occurs to me that as FrameMaker comes with an 'out of the box' XHTML structured application, it might be a useful tool for prototyping web content (without any WYSIWYG) prior to export into a web development app such as Dreamweaver. Has anyone used it like this? Did it work for you? --

Hey Jeremy, another day I dropped you mail on MIF2GO. Wonder if you received it. MIF2GO cuts my index markers after 65 characters. I don't know why but it became a real problem so I had to resort to an outside programmer to re-write the MIF2GO conversion process for my purposes. Any ideas?
