FM converting to RH results in deleting part of variable in rh project

Hi all,

While converting FM to RH project the variables are incorrectly processed. And doesn't show corretly in WebHelp output.

The problem is that I have signs in variables definition like this "** \<some text> more text" that variable displays correctly in FrameMaker, but after creating a project in RH it displays as "** \ more text" in user defined variables in RH.

Is there a way to make it work correctly without much effort?
Or I need sth to export the variables from framemaker correctly and convert them into a rhvariable.apj file and replace it in RH folder structure?
if so is there a easy way to do it or workaround?

Please help,

I got a giant book in FM with variables named as mention and I don't know how to handle it atm.

RH 2015 and FM 2015

First, are you all patched up on both products? Second, are you importing your FM content or linking to it? - that may have a bearing on what's happening.

Yes patched up on both products.
No matter if I'm linking to it or I'm Importing to it there is same issue.

Still I didn't find out how to handle variables that have "\<anything>" in the definition as it only shows as "\"

According to the help, FM variables should be converted over to RH. Can you give us a screenshot of the variable in FM and the result in RH?
