Yes, if you use Mif2Go to generate the HTML or XML you want.  You can
specify the points at which to split in several different ways (by the
format name, by marker, or by page breaks).  Within each of the resulting
parts, you can individually specify <meta ...> tags for the doc <head>
right in the Frame doc, using a unique para format to identify them;
those paragraphs can then be omitted from the document <body>.  You can
also specify the filename for the part in a similar way if you wish.
Our extensive macro facility lets you add pretty much anything you
want wherever you want it, based on format names and doc locations.
You can even interactively ask the user for info and plug it in.

Mif2Go works with Frame 5.x and 6.x under all Windows versions; we do
not yet have a native Mac version, though it works fine with VirtualPC.
We also do not have a UNIX version at present.  It is only $295 for a
single-seat license, including unlimited email tech support and all
upgrades.  In addition to HTML and XML, it produces ready-to-run MS
HTML Help, WinHelp, JavaHelp, and plain Word RTF for print use.  See:

for more information.

Hope this did!  Sounds like we do just what you need...
