Question

Importing FM marker text values as RoboHelp bookmarks

We have an existing RoboHelp 9 project that we have moved to FrameMaker 10 so we can source from FM. The RoboHelp project uses Bookmarks with string values for context sensitive help. I want to be able to set up markers in FrameMaker that can become bookmarks in RoboHelp, but keep the marker text values intact. The standard RoboHelp Context Sensitive Help markers lose the text and replace with CSH_# values that are not useful in the way we have implemented our context sensitive lookups. For example, I have bookmarks in RoboHelp such as Products#Status (Status bookmark in Products topic) that I want to be able to generate directly from FrameMaker source. When I use RoboHelp CSH, this converts to Products#CSH_15 or some other numeric ID. Does anyone have a way to implement bookmarks with text values? Thanks!

You probably want to have 2 sets of markers in FM - one for CSH and one for cross-refs (that's the way I do it). I put the cross-ref markers at the start of the place I want to refer to (usually a Heading1 or Heading2 type para tag) and the CSH marker at the end. The marker text in the CSH marker will become the MapID in RH when you indicate what marker to use for CSH in the Conversion Settings window in RH.
