Question

Hi, is anybody having trouble getting the TOC to behave after
importing a Framemaker Book file? I keep getting a long, long list
of topics and can't find a way to marshal them into books and
sub-books so that the Help looks half-way professional and is easy
to use. I think I see a way to do it manually but that's not ideal.
The old Robohelp for Framemaker seemed to handle this okay.
Thanks.

Hi, thanks
I'm aware of this and it worked fine in Robohelp for
Framemaker but version 7 HTML isn't producing acceptable TOCs or
Indexes from my FM TOC and IX files. Every topic, regardless of
hierarchy or heading or font size, weight, etc. is just placed in a
long flat list. I don't know if it's the styles I'm using in my
(admittedly quite complex) book templates or whether I need to do
some 'mapping' between Frame and Robohelp styles (this part of the
process in the new version confuses me and the dialogues/Help
aren't very 'helpful' and I seem to end up abolishing the styles
from the book, which I want to retain, and keeping only the
Robohelp styles, which I don't). I'm trying a very small document
as a test case now but not having much more luck. As for the
Index...that's too painful to go into at the moment.
Cheers, Simon
