Question

Frame above/below graphics from reference page to HTML5

My situation:

Several of my paragraph styles frequently reference graphics in anchored frames on the reference page.

When I publish a document using these styles to HTML5, the referenced graphics do not translate.

I understand why this happens. However, it forces me to manually import the graphic every time I use the style.

These graphics are mandated by a safety standard, so I can't just get rid of them for the sake of streamlining my multi-channel template.

I really don't want to use separate templates for publishing to PDF or HTML5. If I need to do so, is it really multi-channel publishing?

My goal:

I want to use the same template and paragraph styles for all of my publishing channels.

The feature I'd like to see:

When FM publishes content to HTML5, it either:

  • checks for paragraph styles that reference graphics in the reference pages and migrates those graphics into the HTML source folder, or;
  • migrates all reference page graphics into the HTML source folder.

I concur with GrossTonnage about the problem. This bug blocks attainment of multi-channel from a single content base.

I want from FM12 the result that I get from FM11 to RH10: the conversion respects the reference frames to every output.

Hi GrossTonnage and max_drawdown,

Yesterday we released an update to FrameMaker 12 which resolves the problem you have mentioned. Within FrameMaker 12 you click on Help > Updates menu to view the list of updates available and install.

@vivek_k,

Thanks.

I do not have FM12 installed yet, but I just scanned the ReadMe for 12.0.3.  Are you referring to item 3800160?

It sure sounds like good news.

@GrossTonnage,

Again, I don't have FM12 installed yet.  If you have had a chance to test the patch release, how does it behave with the reference-page graphics?

Best regards,
