Question

FM 12: Automapping failed

I am using FM 12 to generate Responsive HTML5.

All the actions I'm describing take place here:

I assumed that I would be able to map any paragraph style from my original FrameMaker template to an equivalent Output style. Here is what I have tried:

  1. The mapping seemed obvious enough, so I initially manually mapped a few items that were easy, like my H1 to Heading 1.
  2. Then I realized that many of my original template paragraph styles did not have equivalents in the Output styles list.
  3. I reread the FrameMaker 12 documentation and clicked Paragraph at the top of the Styles panel, selected the Automap Paragraph Styles checkbox, and clicked Save.
  4. Filled with hope, I then clicked the original template style, say Bullet2, that  I wished to map.
  5. Alas, the Output Style field said [Automapping failed. Add StyleName to the CSS].
  6. I then reread the documentation some more, exported the styles from the original FM template to a .CSS, and then imported that new .CSS back into the project (in other words, clicked Export Styles, waited a reverent moment, then clicked Import Styles).
  7. Repeated Step 4. Same result.

What am I missing? How do I map FM styles to a style for the Responsive Help output?

Thanks.

    Hi, sorry I was away on vacation.

    No; we are moving to FrameMaker 15, so I'm putting my questions on hold until we get it installed. I'll circle back once it's in place.

    Hi Nancy

    Thanks for reporting this.

    I tried at my end with the steps you mentioned. Most of the styles mapped except one which were selected, in my case it was 'body'.

    I did the step number 3 again, deselected and selected again the Automap Paragraph Styles checkbox, it asked be to confirm to automap for that style ('body'), and then it worked.

    Can you please try the above step at your end?

    Thanks
