MIF to SGML/XML

[martin.smith at golehtek.com]

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, as well as to  
perform operations using XPath and XQuery. You can also use the  
control to reconstruct FrameMaker documents from XML.

I personally use the MSXML control to produce XML-based embedded help  
systems for database-driven, web-based applications. FrameScript  
enables me to encode select elements of a structured document in XML,  
perform XSL transforms, and push the XML directly into an Oracle  
database.

Best regards,

Martin
