That's an interesting take on this thread. I've been on a list for traditional
karate for many months, and it's far more civil than this list. Of course, the
members of this list are also far more aware of the subtleties of language,
which is probably why people here erupt over what others might consider minor
issues.
Oh, yes, on the topical question--FrameMaker with Quadralay's HTML filter works,
but it adds some arbitrary anchors that tend to make the HTML a bit messy. I
prefer creating a text file and retagging it, but I don't have large volumes of
legacy data in Frame.
