FrameMaker to HTML

[Keith Soltys]

Yes, it was based on MIF Doclet, but had to be modified to suit our needs. I remember that there was some manual formatting that had to be done after conversion, but it was a lot easier than trying to convert the raw HTML output from javadoc into something useful.

It was a while ago so the details are fuzzy :-).

MIF Doclet used to be a free utility. I used it to go javadoc > MIF > FrameMaker > PDF, automated the whole thing. I think it has not been updated since Oracle assimilated of Sun and is not compatible with JDKs after 1.4.

Were you able to include javadoc in your FrameMaker docs in such a way that you could update it automatically?

A couple of jobs back, about 15 years ago, we did exactly that, by having a developer write an add-in (doclet?) that caused javadoc to output MIF instead of HTML. We then incorporated that content into our developers' docs.
