Hi Steve,

>From the "Indexterms" section of your FrameMaker project readme file:

"to solve this problem [where the opening <indexterm> tag is being
written as <indexterm/>], you must write code in a custom client to
override FrameMaker's default buggy behavior in its handling of
indexterm elements."

Do you know of any examples where this type of fix has been implemented?

It's been suggested to me that I repost a link to the online
README file I include with my downloadable structured
FrameMaker DocBook XML project.

Apparently, google serves up the text of an old version I
posted here about a year ago (now in the docbook-apps
archives). I was too hard on FrameMaker. I've done a bit
more work with structured FrameMaker and DocBook XML and
revised the earlier text, some, not a lot.

Structured FrameMaker's performance with DocBook XML is not
bad, as I originally described, at least not when I run it
under Windows 2000 Pro; however, it is still very bad when I
run it under Windows 2000 Server (same machine, multiple
operating systems).
