Can't remove page # in XREF: FM to RH XREF mapping doesn't work (known problem?)

Hello,

After a few hours of head-scratching (something tells me this will be common as I work out the kinks while learning RH), I ran into what I think may be a problem or bug in RH.

My FrameMaker book includes a cross-reference format called "Heading" & page , which is defined as follows: <cross-ref>“<$paratext>” on page <$paranum[h1]><$pagenum>

My FrameMaker book is linked to my Robohelp project.

I tried mapping the cross-reference format in Robohelp to strip out the page number, so File > Project Settings > Edit Conversion Settings for FrameMaker documents > Cross-Reference, and I set the Robohelp Style to <$paratext>.

I did an Update, then Generate, and the page number would just not go away in the generated output!

I updated my FM book, recreated my RH project, re-did the linking, rebooted, defragged...I did whatever I could, to no avail.

I then changed the name of my cross-reference format in FrameMaker from "Heading" & page to Heading & page, and kept the definition as it was.

I remapped this new cross-reference format in RH, and did an update. At this point, the mapping worked and the page number was stripped from the output.

Does this make sense?

Although I have this workaround, why the limitation on the xref format name? I have quite a few formats with both quotation marks (" "), and I would like to avoid having to change them all.

Has anyone else seen this?

Thanks!

Sue
