I worked with Jeremy trying to make MIF2Go a solid way to migrate from FrameMaker to Confluence. We got OK results page by page, but cross-references between pages were a sticking point and Atlassian was not helpful. He posted to this list about it on 22 March 2013. I'd post what we came up

The WebWorks ePublisher thing mentioned in that book came out just as Confluence was switching from wiki markup (versions 3 and earlier) to XHTML (versions 4 and later). it converted FrameMaker docs to an awful mess of Confluence 3 wiki markup and macros that rendered OK but was not editable.

I stumbled on a copy of "Confluence, Techcomm, and Chocolate" by Sarah Maddox yesterday as I was searching for information on converting documentation to Confluence. She was working at Atlassian at the time she wrote this. See https://xmlpress.net/wp-content/uploads/ctcc/Confluence-Techcomm-Chocol

The HTML Macro doesn't really make much sense since the switch from wiki markup to XHTML in Confluence 4. It's disabled by default. In Confluence Server, you can install the Source Editor plugin and paste HTML. You can also copy rendered HTML in a browser and paste it in the regular Confluence WY

Hi Framers, I'm hoping somebody has had some experience in moving FrameMaker books into Confluence. Out-of-the-box, Confluence only supports import from Word docs, so the approaches are to either save as RTF and then to Word, or save as PDF and then to Word. PDF appears to be the better intermed
