Multi-channel publishing and reference pages

Hi all,

I'm beginning to dig into FM12 multi-channel publishing. I have stripped down my unstructured template to a more minimalist model in order to flex better to multiple outputs. My current document template has several ANSI-based alert styles (Danger, Warning, etc.) that reference heading images in the reference pages. These heading images do not show up when I publish to HTML5. The header images are important to these styles, but I am loathe to add them manually to each instance, obviously. Is it possible to call reference page images when publishing to HTML 5, or should I change my styles?

I know that this will not be an issue when I to migrate to XML, but I'm hoping to find a quick fix in the meantime. I suspect that if there is an unstructured solution to this, it's hiding in the style mapping settings.

Thanks in advance for your advice!

I reported this bug to Adobe about a month ago. They said it would be fixed in the next release of FM, whenever that may be.

In the short-term, you can use CSS to place an image before a particular format. In my example I am using a NDNoteWarning format that had a reference frame Warning icon above text. Add the below style info to the main.css file (located in template/Theme1_Standard/ folder). You'll have to play around with the margin and text-align settings for your application:

#rh_default_topic_placeholder_id p.FM_NDNoteWarning::before {

content:url(note-warning.png);

display: block;

margin-left: auto;

margin-right: auto;

margin-top: 8px;

text-align: center;

}

@mattschlote,

I suspected/hoped that CSS would hold a solution to this problem, but I'm a relative noob there. Thanks for the starter code. I'll tweak it, try it out, and post results.
