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

[John Sgammato]

That sort of tool would be pretty exciting for me, but I would need a Drupal version, not a WordPress version.
Of course, if ... Mif2Go could save my 300pp FM10 book as 300 individual HTML procedures and somehow push them into a MySQL database, then I would have my grail - all my official released procedures could get pumped into a Drupal-powered knowledgebase owned by our Support team!

Jeremy, the tool I'm playing with converts a directory of RTF files into clean HTML, but then performs a second step of parsing each file into a format that can be pulled into a SQL database -- hence the CSV format for the lowest common denominator DB format...

Yes, you can cut and paste HTML into Wordpress pretty easily. One file at a time. You have several hundred or thousand to do, it could be a little wearing...
