Question

Chapter *.css files resetting on update

Hello All,

I'm currently doing a trial of the TCS. I have a small FM book that I have imported into RH. Each chapter in the book comes into RH with its own *.css file. So far so good. But, no matter what changes I make in the style mapping window, every time I update the book the chapter *.css files revert back to their original settings and I end up with mixed fonts in my topics. It seems that I can update some of the styles (mostly heading styles) in the style mapping window, but others, such as numbering styles, or styles where I used a FM character style, do not pick up the updates.

Is there some kind of hidden master *.css that is updating the chapter *.css files? I've tried manually changing all the *.css files I can find in the project folder, including the chapter *.css files, but no matter what I do the chapter *.css files reset themselves when the book is updated.

Does anyone have a solution for this issue?

Daniel

    Please check out this link. There is more information on Adobe blog on how to edit styles and retain them when you update the content. The stylesheet used in fmstyles.css. If you mapped the styles to SOURCE during you mapping, RoboHelp is using FrameMaker styles as is in RoboHelp. If you map these styles to RoboHelp, then you can change them in RoboHelp using fmstyles.css.
