Tools for FrameMaker > wiki markup?

[rlauriston]

I'm looking for ways to get our FrameMaker-source content into a wiki with minimal prep and cleanup required (i.e. preserving cross-references, graphics, TOCs, etc.). I'm also evaluating wikis, so the exact target is tbd and may depend partly on its import capabilities. We have RoboHelp (which we use to generate context-sensitive WebHelp) and MIF2Go. Could buy something else if the results were good.

We looked at Webworks' export. It looks great, but isn't editable wiki markup, so not what we're looking for.

As an example of the kind of kludge I'm hoping to avoid, a case study on going from Frame to Confluence via prep with FrameScript, generating Java Help with MIF2Go, and converting the Java Help to wiki markup with a FAR script:

I tried generating .rtf with MIF2Go, converting that to .doc, and using Confluence's Word import, results are pretty rough.

I ran across this example at the cudspan site. It's sketchy but may give you some ideas.

That wasn't migrated from FrameMaker, it's just a wrapper around some Wikipedia pages.

Hi,

take WebWorks ePublisher, it convert FrameMaker files in Confluence, Media Wiki, or  MoinMoin Wiki.

As noted in my original post, we looked at Webworks' MediaWiki export, and while it looks great, it isn't editable wiki markup, so not what I'm looking for.
