We have downloaded a demo version of Framemaker to try as an alternative
to docbook->rtf->ms-word->postscript.
Clearly life would be a lot easier if we could convert docbook to a
Framemaker format. Does anyone have experience in this area?
How about a converter from docbook to Framemaker's MIF format?
Presumably we could represent each docbook feature by a Framemaker
template feature, and let Framemaker do the layout and conversion to
postscript.
