Re: MIF to XML/SGML conversion?

[quills -at- airmail -dot- net]

FrameMaker 7.x onward can do this. It is a two step process, the 
first is defining your DTD and then making a mapping document to 
agree with the DTD. This maps your FM paragraph and character styles 
to your DTD tags. And the output will only be as miserable as your 
mapping and formatting.
