Convert to HTML List Still Not Working in TCOM Suite 2

I have tried applying this feature as shown in the e-learning demo and it does not work. I can create style to maps numbers to, but then the list doesn't know when to restart and the alignment is off. If I leave it as is from FrameMaker the numbering is correct, but the alignment is off.

Why is this not working as shown?

If possible replay to:

Thanks!

The logic of Convert Autonumber to HTML List, by design, restarts numbering at 1 for each HTML file in the set.

If you want to maintain your FM numbering sequences and have numbering resart where you want it, you'll need to use Convert Autonumber to Text. After you do that, you will find that RH has converted your autonumbered sequences to text relative to every style you have specified it for. You will also find that it has substituted various quantities of HTML space characters where you were using FM building blocks in your autonumbered sequences. My work-around for that is to edit all of my FM autonumbered sequences to remove the building blocks and insert hard spaces.

You will also find that word spacing and kerning are off. You will need to define an RH equivalent (in Conversion Settings>Edit Style button) for your FM styles. After that you will be able to work with your document set much more easily.
