The first software I built was Fm2HTML, that took FrameMaker documents and converted them to HTML. This is the early days of the Web.

The conversion was for multi-file documents, which included links, images, tables, indexes and more. The structure of the original document was preserved, as was a lot of the formatting.

FrameMaker was widely used in the research community at the time. It was a very powerful tool for writing books and longer documents.
