Anyone else looking at Frame >> WordPress (as a CMS)

[Rick Quatro]

Hi Art,

How are you doing step 2: Batch-convert the RTF to clean HTML or XHTML.
Thanks.

Rick

Just as an update -- this certainly seems to be possible; I'm doing
some testing.

The workflow seems to be (unstructured):

1. From Frame, SaveAs (I'm using MIF2Go) as RTF.
2. Batch-convert the RTF to clean HTML or XHTML.
3. Save/export into a comma-separated value (CSV) file.
4. Import the CSV into WordPress, assigning tags, categories, post
types and other bits and pieces on import.

It may be possible to streamline this if you can twiddle MIF2Go or a
script to do a post-processing step and generate a CSV, but I don't
know if that's possible. Yet.

And I suspect it'd be pretty easy to go from DITA or another structure
to CSV, but I haven't played with that at all.
