Autonumber text doesn't display in HTML

I use autonumbering paragraph format for repeated text such as a command prompt "CLI  (admin@leaf1)>" but when converting to HTML the autonumber doesn't appear in output. It only displays what comes after the autonumber text. So  CLI  (admin@leaf1)>switch-setup-show displays as switch-setup-show without the command prompt text.

Also, importing images from the reference page works for some of the images  but not all. One appears so small it looks like a dot not the image.

Any ideas?

    What version of Frame?

    If you are using a version with the "publish" option, you can edit the settings for publishing to HTML

    Under Style mapping, select the relevant paragraph style, and then you can choose how to treat auto-numbering

    I can only sympathise! Save as HTML is not part of my workflow, but you're quite right: neither Save as HTML nor Save as XML includes autonumbering text. I'm still on FM 12, but you'd hope this sort of omission had been corrected in later versions. It looks as though CSS supports it elegantly; but even if that's not the case, the FM conversion process should do a better job!

    fwiw, Save as .pdf > Save .pdf as HTML Web page renders up the autonumbering text, as you'd expect – but makes such a poor show of converting other formatting that it's a non-starter. I suspect that tweaking your CSS may be the only (approximate) answer.

    FieryPantone​ - don't hold your breath - the Save As HTML route was traditionally so bad, third party products like MIF2Go and Webworks Publisher were created to improve the output. Now all attention is focused on the Responsive HTML5 produced via the Publish pod in FM.

    I'm using FM 2017 - I found an underlying issue with tables (I use them for info, caution, warning, etc) and if you convert the FM file  where these all appear together (preface), it's fine no problem with images. Convert the book and again, tiny images in the tables.
