FM 2015 hyperlinks in book files don't work

With FM 2015 the hyperlinks between files in a book don't map correctly when saving as HTML. Hyperlinks between points in a file are fine and links to external URLs are OK. Also, when I save the book as a PDF file the hyperlinks to other files in the book are fine. Any suggestions or is this an FM bug?

So what do the links look like (i.e. the complete url) when they don't map correctly? Are you breaking up the FM files on some paratags during the conversion?

Today I downloaded FM 2015 update 2 and again tried to convert my Help book to HTML with the same mapping problems. When the hyperlink is to another file in the book it maps as the raw file name rather than a hypertext link. I've included a portion of one HTML file with the bad hyperlinks commented out in order to show what is going wrong.

In the first example the link /Mac/Host/Equal Justice Foundation/EJF Web site/Help/Chapter-Help.htm#help should be mapping as just Help.htm#help.

Please advise!

Are the FM book files all in the same folder? If not, then the (relative) path between the books will always be used.
