Re: seeking an ace in the San Diego area
Hi John, Yes, the FM HTML export is a bit limiting! I'd be happy to discuss options and scope with them if needed. -Matt Sullivan On Aug 31, 2012, at 7:16 AM, John Sgammato wrote: > I am working with a vendor based in San Diego, 3500 miles from my office. > The vendor produces a knowledgebase tool that will import my FrameMaker 10 > (unstructured) content both in one massive import of currently-published > content to populate the k-base for launch, and on an ongoing basis as new > topics are authored. > Their import tool is a very limited command-line thing that relies only on > FM’s Save as HTML feature.
