Commas in headings causing issues with topic filenames and xrefs in HTML5

Hi All. Using FrameMaker 16.0.4 on Windows 10. I'm currently having an issue with cross references when I generate HTML5 topics. As an example, I have an FM file with multiple H1s and H2s, along with cross references between those headings. When I generate HTML5, H1s and H2s get split into separate HTML topics (as defined in the Publish settings). On themost part this works without any issues, however if I have a H1 or H2 that uses one or commas in the title, the cross reference pojnts the "wrong" filename and shows as a broken link in the HTML. For example, a H2 with the title "Components, Capacity, and Resiliency" generates the file "Components__44__Capacity__44__and_Resiliency.htm" - the TOC uses the correct file reference, but cross references use "Components,_Capacity,_and_Resiliency.htm". Any ideas on how I can resolve this?

You noted in an update to the Tracker that when you publish the fm file separately from the book file, that there is no substitution for the comma. Does that mean you can publish the offending file then copy the HTML pages to the book output file folder?

As a workaround, you could use Notepad++ to do Find/Change across all of the files in the output set. It looks like the pattern is to change ,_ to __.
