Question

HTML5 search results show filenames instead of topic names

I know this thread already exists for earlier versions, but there hasn't been an answer there for over two years, so I'm asking again. there are two problems, actually: first, search results in my hmlt5 output show the filenames instead of the topic names, which is mostly no problem in the english version, but is especially ugly in the german version (where umlauts etc. have been escaped in the filenames. I have the option "use only ascii characters..." activated in my publish settings.). second, we have a slash (/) in our product name. this displays fine in the html5 content, but is not displayed in the table of contents. I'm running frame 17.03. any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Have a look in the Tracker (https://tracker.adobe.com/) to see if this has already been logged as an issue; if not, prepare a small sample and submit a ticket to the FM folks.

      [sidebar: It took me a week to figure out why I couldn't post to this thread. It was the apostrophe in my username. Major eyeroll, Adobe Community.]

       

      ANYWAY, the problem seems to be slightly different to what I originally posted.

       

      It's not that the filenames are being shown in the search results, it's that non-ASCII characters, which were escaped from filenames to avoid problems with integrating the online help, are not properly encoded again for display.

       

      Example: a topic has the heading "Meine Lesebestätigungen". Because I have set the topic naming scheme to <$paratext_no_num>, the HTML file for the topic is called "Meine_Lesebesttigungen-e5b.htm". In the HTML5 output, the heading is displayed correctly in the content AND in the generated table of contents, but if you search for "lesebestätigungen", it is displayed in the search results as "Meine Lesebesttigungen-e5b".

       

      Even this behaviour is inconsistent, however. Our product name contains a slash, and the slash is omitted in the table of contents.

       

      None of these problems existed when I generated HTML5 with my previous version (I think it was 15). The two screenshots below show the same help topic in my previous release version and with the current output.

       

      Please help! or if anyone knows that secret e-mail address where you can send technical issues, please share!

      Have you tried inputting the topic names in File Info?

      thanks for taking the time to answer! that would only work if I had one topic per framemaker document. as it is, I have about 20 topics per framemaker document.
