Question

Heading refuses to paginate into a new topic

Hi, I am using Tech Communicator Suite 4.

I have have a dozen RoboHelp projects with linked FrameMaker books, generating MS HTML Help (.CHMs) as my output.

In all of them, I have the import settings set so that any Heading1, Heading2 or Heading3's trigger a new topic in my CHM.

Everything is working fine apart from one stubborn project, where I have two headings (one H2 and one H3) which Robohelp just refuses to break into new topics for!

The CHM's ToC has them showing correctly (and if you click the relevent ToC node, it takes you to the heading) - but they're not seperate topics.

I'm completely baffled! I've tried saving the Frame source as a MIF and re-opening it, I've tried re-applying the H2 and H3 paragraph formats to the headings, I've tried adding new test headings (they don't work either - it's like I have a wierd Bermuda Triangle in the middle of my .fm file where RoboHelp won't recognise new headings!)

Any suggestions?

Can you show us a screenshot of the offending FM content? Are the H1 & H2 paratags right next to each other (i.e. followed right after each other, no different paratext between)?

Hi Jeff,

no, the paratags are not next to each other,

they have other stuff in between (which is no different to any other Heading tags I can see in the rest of the document or in my other projects).

Screenshot is attached.

The headings circled in green paginate into new topics in the CHM OK.... the two miscreants in red do not.

Assuming that the heading tags are all the same – how about creating a new blank RH project & importing fresh to see what’s happening in an import rather than a link situation?
