Overview
This practical guide is for professionals who want to publish new or existing Adobe ® FrameMaker documents on the World Wide Web, on an intranet, or on CD-ROM. These documents-books, user guides, reference manuals, periodicals, technical reports, white papers-may be long and complex, containing graphics, tables, cross-references, tables of contents, and indexes. Whether you are a writer, production specialist, or information manager, this guide will help you transform such printed documents into web books.
FrameMaker users will find here techniques for designing effective web pages, planning for easy navigation, handling graphics, and publishing both printed and electronic works from a single FrameMaker source. The book focuses on powerful tools available for converting FrameMaker documents to HTML-WebMaker, Webworks Publisher, HTML Transit, and HoTaMaLe, the converter bundled with FrameMaker. It describes a specific process for evaluating and using these tools, and provides a step-by-step illustration of their workflow and results. Coverage includes HTML, Cascading Style Sheets, and alternatives to conversion tools, such as Acrobat and SGML.
This book's emphasis on production from a single source will help you save time, control versions, and contain costs.
The techniques presented in this book apply to all the conversion tools discussed.
