Extra level showing up in HTML5 Output

And what version of FM are you using & what layout is being used? Is it happening if you try another layout or output format?

I'm pretty sure it's something to do with the styling applied to those unwanted headings - can you show us the FM screen where the topic appears?

I have a TOC in Frame for this book I'm testing, and I tried your settings as shown. I'm still getting the extra levels that a user has to click on to open something they can actually click on to go to that page. It just seems silly and unnecessary from a usability perspective. 

Hi,

Please create a TOC for the book as you would do for making a PDF output. While generating HTML5, Framemaker's will adopt the same TOC for generating a navigation sidebar.

Hi

1. I find that in order for my HTML 5 help to appear correctly I need to have a Frame TOC file even if I do not use it in the Frame book; it needs to be part of the book which I am using to make the help.

I use the settings below which work, maybe you want to try?

The same thing is happening in a longer book that I do have a TOC for though. 

Since you're not using a TOC, I suspect that FM is using the indent levels to "figure out" what should be considered a heading in the TOC it builds.

I don't know but I don't think that's what's causing it because I tried a test where I unchecked that box and published the output and the same thing happened.

Is that "PageBreak" marker present with those headings that you don't want to show as headings?

I actually don't have a TOC for this Frame book shown in the example; we only do them for larger books. I'm not sure where to look to see what levels are generating topics. These are some of my settings:
