Save as HTML - tables?

Hello,

we are trying to save the FM document as HTML using the built in save as functionality. The tables are exported, but no ruling/borders and straddling information is reflected in the output HTML.

Does anybody know if there is a way to make FM to export tables with formatting information or any tool that is able to do that?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Viktor

    Hello,

    thank you for all. Seems table export should work. Will look at it in more detail and also will check the suggested 3rd party solutions.

    What version of Frame?

    Older versions use a third-party add-on that is likely substantially different from the current capability.

    FM10.

    I don't have FM10, and haven't tried HTML generation since FM6 or so, but anyone who can help needs to know the version.

    but no ruling/borders and straddling information is reflected in the output HTML.

    The FM10 on-line help says, in the Troubleshooting and tips on HTML conversion

    • Make sure the table formats you use have regular ruling lines defined for at least one body row. Otherwise, the HTML tables will have no lines around table cells.

    I would expect straddles to be converted to spans, since HTML has attributes for that.

    can you suggest some 3rd party sw?

    I'm not sure that's necessary or desired. Earlier versions of Frame used WebWorks Publisher. HTML generation is now built in. I don't know if you can even get WWP for FM10, or if it would provide any features not standard in FM10.
