WebMaker (TM)

Configurable converter of FrameMaker documents to the World-Wide Web

The combination of WebMaker and FrameMaker enables the simultaneous publishing of both printed and WWW versions of a document. WebMaker converts FrameMaker documents and books to a hypertext network of HTML files.

WebMaker was developed in 1994 in our group, applied to several CERN documents, and version 1.4 was licensed to more than 3000 sites. In February 1995, CERN signed a technology transfer agreement with Harlequin Ltd, who will be releasing a new version of the product which it will support directly, in a few months.
