Re: FrameMaker to RoboHelp Conversions

[Bill Swallow <techcommdood -at- gmail -dot- com>]

While true, RoboHelp and FrameMaker are now as equally adept at
working together. I still prefer WebWorks, though, mainly because I've
used it for 10+ years.

It provides a very extensive set of functions for mapping the Frame paragraph and character tags into styles for the finished output. I used it years ago and while I did have to spend a significant amount of time tweaking the mappings, once I got them right the converstions were pretty close to flawless.
