Framemaker and Twiki

[martin.smith at golehtek.com]

Hi Kelly,

If your FrameMaker documents are structured, the path isn't all that  
difficult.

I have achieved similar results by writing a script in the FrameScript  
language that does the following:

1) Recurse the element hierarchy of the Frame source files and encode  
the documents in XML.

2) Load the XML into the Microsoft XML Active X Control.

3) Apply an XSL transform to achieve the desired markup.

4) Push the resulting files to their destination.

The ability of FrameScript to work with OCX controls and databases  
makes this a fairly straightforward process. I personally find this  
path more straightforward than working directly with the FDK and  
Frame's built-in XML encoding tools.

There are a number of freeware tools out there that will help you  
build the necessary XSL transform and preview the resulting code.

Best regards

Martin
