Has anyone tried or know of a "good" way to go from Frame to a

tool from FM to a wiki format. This would be a one time thing. I
tried googling this and one fella does a FM->HTML->Wiki conversion
with a lot of cleanup:

to regularly round-trip FM to wiki and back. ahahaha.
Some wiki software enables you to include raw HTML pages. If your
wiki can handle this, then just convert your FM to HTML using
whatever method you like. You may end up with an uneditable HTML
page, though, and not a wiki page, which is not particularly what
you want.
Actually converting fm content to wiki format is going to take more
work. If you have a small amount of content the easiest method is
probably just to save as text (or copy all the text out of the
files) and apply the wiki formatting by hand. If you have a lot of
pages, or very complex pages, then you'll probably want to write a
script/tool to convert from FM output (text, html, XML) to your
wiki's input format.
Alas, I know of no more general way to do this other than hand-
built tools, especially since every wiki has its own tagging language.
Good luck.
Laura
Thanks, Laura.
(Oof! Bottom posting freaks me out). It seems we're definitely going
to need to write an app or script to do the conversion as the keyword
list is something 15000 entries. Fortunately they are all in separate
tables and are mostly uniform.
Will.
