Question

Missing hypertext markers in Responsive HTML5 output

Dear community,

we publish some of our FrameMaker documents as Responsive HTML5. As we describe a quite complex software with many parameters, we inserted Hypertext markers for nearly every parameter in the FrameMaker files. Reason: from the software we want to jump directly to the corresponding description on the HTML page. With FM 2019 everything works as expected, with FM 2022 (17.0.6) the Hypertext markers are missing in the HTML files (so there is no "a" element with the content of the hypertext mark as "name" attribute). Any ideas?

Many thanks in advance, Andreas

    What about xref markers? Do they survive into the HTML5? Have you checked the Publish settings? Your FM2019 sts file settings may not have survived upgrading to FM2022.

    I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "xref markers". "Normal" cross-references to chapters or images work as usual in the HTML output. This also applies to xrefs between different files within the book. Unfortunately, I can't find anything about this in the sts settings file, and it doesn't matter whether I create a completely new sts file.

    Hi,

    Can you tell us which hypertext markers you use?

    The marker name is Hypertext, isn't it?

    And what is a marker content (just an example)?

    Best regards, Winfried

    When I inserted some hypertext markers with just "hypertextmarker1" (running number) in the FrameMaker file, I could not find anything with "hypertextmarker" in the created files. As @BertaEmil had reported.

    Are these missing markers in newly created FM2022 docs or upgraded FM2019 ones?

    Dear Jeff,

    Many Thanks for your inquiry. The actual documents were converted from FM2019. However, it makes no difference to us (I just tested it) – even after starting with a document from scratch in FM2022, no corresponding anchor is created for a hypertext mark in the HTML output.
