Hello,
Does anyone know where I can get more info, like web sites, mailing
lists, FAQs, offline books, etc., about converting DTP-formatted
(Pagemaker, framemaker, Quark, etc.) data to HTML and then onto CDROM?
I am running both Mac and Windows (as well as some x-windows), but am
ready to do/get whatever it takes for me to do this job. On the other
hand, I of course am looking for what's best for the money too.
I have a lot of files in Pagemaker, Framemaker, Quark, and other
formats, and seek to create two types of CDROMs with these documents.
First, one primarily for document storage with search capabilities,
and another one that is more interactive. My questions are fairly
basic - like:
1) how to do it, i.e., convert DTP-format files to html (and other
sgml languages for that matter) - Are there automated tools to do
this?
2) I don't really have a clue at the moment about the easiest methods
of putting these files/documents onto a CDROM and then adding a
reasonably efficient and easy-to-use search engine. Where can I find
this info?
3) Interactive CDROMs.... are there software tools and hardware that
are better suited for this kind of task than others?
Thanks very much for any help for these somewhat vague questions. As I
continue scanning the web, newsgroups, etc., that's about where I am
in my thought process right now :-) .
Ron
