converting FM cross references to xrefs

[Alan Houser]

FrameMaker will do this for you, including generating ID values. The 
details are documented in the Structured Application Developer's Guide.

Basically, your conversion table should contain a rule for each 
cross-reference format that may appear in the document. For example: 
"X:FigureAndPage". If you generate or update a conversion table from 
existing documents, you will get these rules automatically. You should 
map these to your XML cross-reference element.

FrameMaker will generate matching IDREF and ID attributes on the source 
and target.

You have a bit more flexibility if you import your EDD before running 
the conversion table. For example, you can cross-reference a containing 
section, instead of a title.

These are just the high points. Try it; it should work.
