From DocBook to FrameMaker

[mathieu jacquet]

Well, I have not been clear enough.

We actually have a lot of content in DocBook, and very little in unstructured FM (one book only, 3 chapters, about 75 pages) so far. The thing is, if we need structured FM to import DocBook files, then I'd like also to turn my unstructured book into a structured one, for the whole documentation to be consistent.

Cheers,
Mathieu.

I am not familiar at all with structured Frame. So my question is, how easy is it to import a DocBook file into FM, and what would it require to achieve that nicely ? Also, is it mandatory to use structured FM for doing so ? And if yes, how much work would it be to turn an unstructured "light" FM document (3 chapters, about 75 pages) into a structured one ?
