A FrameMaker to WWW converter

WebMaker processes FrameMaker files or books and generates a set of HTML files, according to a configuration file supplied by the user. For a given type of document, a configuration specifies the rules to convert each paragraph format. WebMaker is particularly well suited for the conversion of large FrameMaker documents but may also be used just as easily on smaller ones. WebMaker can:

generate a configurable hierarchy of interlinked HTML files (chapter, sections, ...),
translate FrameMaker cross references into hypertext links,
generate tables of contents, indices and glossaries,
produce hypertext links to external HTML documents
convert footnotes, imported graphics, FrameMaker native graphics, equations and tables,

WebMaker is designed such that the author of a FrameMaker document has very few constraints to fullfill. In particular he can use as many Paragraph and Character formats as he wishes, with the tag names that he likes. No impositions are made on the writing of a FrameMaker document that may compromise it's printed appearance.

You may find more details (including complete user requirements) in the WebMaker Web [4].
