I am pretty familiar with FrameMaker but I am having problems
documenting the MIBs. For anyone who doesn't know, MIBs are sets of
parameters used to define the information available from SNMP-capable
devices. They can be viewed as text files but my problem is that they
are formatted with many tabs and odd spacing. When I try to import this
text file into FM, all formatting is lost. The tab symbols are in place
but they aren't formatted. I could go in and reformat all the tabs but
this is nearly 100 pages of text that I am dealing with and so I don't
think that is the best option.
If no one here can help me can you tell me how to get on to a FM list
for some information?
