Question

Bookmarks in webhelp generated from Framemaker

Hi all

We're using the trial version of Framemaker 12 as part of the TCS5 suite.

I've been experimenting with the Publish pod to create WebHelp and am wondering how to specify which Framemaker headings appear in the Webhelp TOC?

I thought it might use settings in the Bookmarks tab in PDF setup - but have tried this to no effect.

Certain headings do appear in the TOC, but not a new ChapterTitleHelp style I've created. How do I get this to appear?

I've looked in the Style Mapping tab in the Publish Settings dialog (when you right-click Webhelp and select Edit Settings).  However, this seems to be more to do with the look and feel and character format than determining which headings appear.

Can anyone help please?  We do have Robohelp as part of the suite, but to the best of my knowlege you should be able to output directly from Framemaker without opening RH. Is there a file somewhere where you can specify which headings you want?

Many thanks

Laura

Of course, once I post, I work it out.

It seems that the styles have to appear in the Framemaker TOC. I had not done this because I was still in the hard copy mindset and would never add the ChapterTitleHelp to the hard copy TOC.

Hope this helps someone else anyway.
