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.

This code has not been updated since I stopped working on it in 1994 and started working on Opera instead.
At the time FLOSS was not even a term. The code was open. You would typically compile it yourself. I believe that if you wanted to use it commercially, you would have had to contact Televerkets Forskningsinstitutt, which I was working for at the time.
