Save as HTML in FrameMaker 11

[Matt Sullivan]

As far as I can tell, the Save as HTML function in Fm 11 is the same that you see in Fm9.

The improvements are in the connection to RoboHelp, and that's been better than Save as HTML since it first appeared in Fm8. For straight HTML output, many use MIF2GO. For my outputs (help systems with embedded rich media, and EPUB/Kindle), I use RoboHelp (as part of TCS). There are those that are happy with WebWorks as well.

What would probably be my experience *now* if I upgraded to FrameMaker 11 Unstructured and again attempted to "Save as HTML"? With the new software, would this now produce reasonable HTML output that I could then expect to be able to fine-tune? Or --my skill levels being as low as they are-- would I probably still find myself in that same fix?
