<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:#1F497D">The most capable format is the Responsive HTML5, which is comparable to the Reverb format in Quadralay’s WebWorks ePublisher. It includes a slick skin editor
that lets you customize the visual appearance. As with all of the output formats in Frame 12, you can control the text formatting by mapping your Frame styles to the online CSS styles.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:#1F497D">I think you could get a very good looking set of pages out of this format, but whether you can customize it enough to meet your needs is an open question.
For example, I haven’t been able to add a footer below the content that contains a table with our logo, contact information, and a copyright notice. I do this in WebWorks by editing the page template file, but I haven’t figured out how to do this with the
Frame templates – there doesn’t appear to be any documentation about low-level customization like this.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:#1F497D">You might want to download a trial copy of Frame 12 and try it out. The new publishing features are a big improvement over previous versions, but I don’t
think offer the customization capabilities of either WebWorks ePublisher or the full TCS with RoboHelp.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">A message from a Doubting Thomas: We read Adobe's assertion, that with the latest version of FM we become able to transform our files directly into good-looking web pages. However, this isn't the first time the
corporation has claimed this for its product and with earlier versions of FM it simply was not true. Now the latest version of FM has been available for some months and yet we haven't seen anyone claim on this discussion list, that this time they have succeeded.
