FrameMaker not splitting into topics when publishing to Responsive HTML5

Hello. When I publish to Resposive HTML5, all of my topics (headings) appear on one single (long) page. In the Settings File under Style Mapping I have "Split into topics based on this style" checked but they are still all showing up on one single page. Does anyone know how to correct this?

    thanks to the Adobe team - problem was solved: 
    The problem was becuase the headings started with a number i.e. 1Heading, 2Heading etc. 

    Either changing the heading names, or using a newer FM version - solves this problem.

    Thanks!

    «Either changing the heading names» I use this scheme since FM-4 to be able to easily assign it via F9 - wo what?

    «or using a newer FM version ...» - how? If the current version is 16.0.4.1062 ?

    Are you generating from a file, or from a book? 

    I find that generating from a book, with a TOC is more predictable, especially in how the bookmarks are generated.

    Hello Matt. I am generating from a book with a TOC. The TOC in the Help file looks great. It's just that all the topics (instructions and images) are displayed together in one long page. Right now, I am trying to add Page Break Markers to see if that will break up the topics to display on individual pages.

    I've never had this problem before, so I am really stumped as to why it is happening or how to fix it.

    HI, I'm also trying to create Responsive HTML5 output "Publish"ed from Framemaker. 

    So this is the first time I've tried this type of output.

    I'm starting with the one file (FM2020 version 16.0.4.1062).

    I setup the para styles, as I needed, throwing away what I don't need and mapping. Each change took fine except for the "Split into Topics based on this sytle". It's not creating the new topics, but gives me one long page for the entire chatper. button is not working. It seems like a bug. Maybe someone knows how to override this problem manually ? via the CSS or other type of file, from whatever files are generated by the Publish operation?

    Hmm, all I can suggest is that you try creating a new Settings file and try using it.

    What paragraph tag are you splitting on? Is it just one .fm doc or is it inside a book?

    I am splitting on 1 Heading Top (This paragraph tag is also set to start at the top of every page in the fm doc). The .fm doc is part of a book but I also tried publishing the help from just the fm doc and the topics still all run together. The strange thing is I have published this doc/book before and it worked fine. I just can't figure out what has changed or what I am doing different (or wrong) this time.

    What version of FM are you running? Always start with that. Are you all patched up? Check Help > Updates to check.
