Question

epub creation via FM 11

I'm going to be producing an epub edition of one of my company's documents.  A test document (ToC & two chapters of lipsem)  was converted via FrameMaker fairly successfully. It even created a Table of Contents, but placed it at the end of the ebook. 

Does anyone know how to get FM to put the ToC at the beginning of the epub?  Or did I inadvertently get it to create an index instead?

Thanks,

Justin

Did you set the Properties of your book file to use the FM TOC, and then set the EPUB SSL to use that same TOC?

I also see the TOC in the back, but have one recognized by Adobe Digital Editions and my iBooks reader on iPad.

Thanks for the suggestion, Matt. Where do I set those properties?

To process the FM TOC, right-click on the book file in Rh, and look at the Properties. Once updated, the TOC will be available in the ePub single source layout settings.
