Umlauts in HTML5 file names

I generate HTML5 from FrameMaker 12 (NOT RoboHelp) and in my German docs, headings with umlauts lead to file names with umlauts, which is a problem for our system.

Is there any way to supress the umlauts in the file names? I have my publishing settings configured as follows:

Topic Name Pattern: <$paratext>

Output

Language: German

Encoding: Unicode (UTF8 without BOM)

thanks for any help,

s.

Hi, I have the same issue with FrameMaker 2017. It would be great if FM could convert umlauts in headings into ae/oe/ue for filenames. Is there a way to do this?

Not built in - you'd have to run some script on your content (or a copy of your content) to do the find and replace action before publishing.

Thanks, Jeff. The problem with this is that the umlauts are still needed in the main text -- they should only be converted to create clean ASCII filenames. Maybe we can create a script to replace them in the generated files (i.e. after publishing).
