<DIV>Make that 7 people interested in MIF2Go and Confluence. We're not MIF2Go users but if it supported bulk export to Confluence 4, we'd become users in a flash. If it could roundtrip, I'd be over the moon.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Jeremy, I don't want to ask you to put your time into unproductive stuff, but if you could describe how MIF2Go's Confluence export handles conditional text, I'd appreciate it. Am I right that at the moment, the best flow would be:</DIV>
<DIV>1) use MIF2Go to export Confluence 4 XHTML from FM</DIV>
<DIV>2) import the output into Confluence one page at a time</DIV>
<DIV>3) manually muck with each page to convert the conditional text to Confluence extracts</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>We'd quite like to move to Confluence 4 for its collaborative work environment, but we'd have to convert 10K pages of conditional-text-rich content. That's extremely offputting. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks for all the info in this thread; it's been very informative.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Cheers</DIV>
