Request for template examples

["Alan Litchfield" <alan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have a special request for examples of templates anyone may 
know of or have. I am looking at commencing a project in which the 
FM files are to be used for printing, transfer to HTML and possibly 
printing to PDF.

Essentially the HTML part poses the greatest problem because the 
files are supposed to be presented in framed windows at the 
browser end with the TOC showing in a left hand frame. Does 
anyone know of an application that has that feature (i.e. translates 
the FM styles to tags and creates files in this way.) Also 
considered is the possibility of exporting the FM files to XML and 
setting up the frames and CSS' using that. So far I have not heard 
much in the way of a utility that will achieve this goal -- anyone got 
any clues or suggestions?

The company can develop its own DTD if required for export to 
XML. I will await someones advice on that matter.

Additionally the files are going to be using a substantial amount of 
conditional text, with various versions being made available to 
various clients. Items will be cross referenced, and hypertext links 
will be developed too for use within each document as well as 
linking to related files.

So in the end the same template is going to be used for a number 
of purposes, but we only want to develop one template style for all 
these uses, even though the page layout for the printed version will 
obviously be different than for the online one.

At this point in time I need to be able to demonstrate that this can 
be done before I commence work on designing templates and page 
layout options.

TIA
Alan
