<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><font face="Verdana">Hi Jeremy!<br>
<br>
The price will be available when it's actually available ..
hopefully soon.<br>
<br>
MIF2Go is definitely a good option, and is cheaper than this
plugin will be. These tools are a collection of utilities that
I've developed over the years to handle various situations, for
preconversion cleanup, post-conversion-table cleanup, and then
the actual topic/map shredding process. The main reason I'm
making this available is that I've recently had a number of
clients who wanted me to set up a conversion table based
conversion process for them to use to convert their own content.
I've needed to take these tools and wrap them up into something
that could be used by someone other than myself, so I figured
that I'd make it available as a retail product.<br>
<br>
If you're comfortable with using MIF2Go, then this plugin isn't
likely to be of much use (although the preconversion tools may
be useful for that as well), but if you want to go the
conversion table route .. the tools in this plugin will probably
save you lots of time.<br>
<br>
As Jeremy says .. check out both options (and others), before
heading down one path.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

<pre wrap="">Leximation will soon be releasing a plugin called FM2DITA. This is
basically a collection of tools that make it much easier to convert from
unstructured FM to DITA. If you're using the FrameMaker conversion table
method for converting, this will save you lots of time. Here's the
current docs ..

You might want to mention the price you have in
mind. We don't even look at tools that don't
have prices on their Web site. Red flag. <g>

This is not yet available for purchase, but I hope to have it ready in

Or, if you want to use the tool chosen by 26% of
FrameMaker users for this (per a recent impartial
poll), check out Mif2Go:

We've always recommended Scott's DITA-FMx for those
who plan to continue editing in Frame. However,
for the conversion itself, we've been fine-tuning
for several years, with the help of DITA-TC members
who are using it for major conversion projects at
their Fortune 50 companies... ;-) So we're a tad
ahead in this area. Check out both, and decide
for yourself.
