WebMaker (TM)

Configurable converter of FrameMaker documents to the World-Wide Web

The combination of WebMaker and FrameMaker enables you to publish simultaneously both the printed and the WWW versions of a document. WebMaker converts FrameMaker documents and books to a hypertext network of HTML files that may be viewed by World-Wide Web browsers.

WebMaker translates FrameMaker entities such as imported and native graphics, mathematics, tables, figures, anchored frames, cross-references, character highlights, indices and footnotes. It generates tables of contents automatically, and transforms into graphical images elements that are unknown to HTML. The user has control over a number of conversion aspects:

the rules for the breakup of the Frame document into the component HTML files;
a panel of hypertext links to facilitate navigation within the WWW documents web;
the rules for the mapping of paragraph and character formats to HTML constructs;
the specification of material for selective inclusion in the FrameMaker or WWW document.

WebMaker was developed at CERN in 1994, in the Programming Techniques Group. In February 1995, CERN signed a technology transfer agreement with Harlequin Ltd, who will continue the development of WebMaker.
