Hi,

I am importing content from FrameMaker 2019 to Robohelp 2019. The content is in tables with the first column shaded in dark grey backgaround and the second column in white. The content is imported almost neatly, similar to my FrameMaker document. However, in the ouput, the tables do not display, and the text in them is scattered. Especialy, in webhelp and responsive HTML. Please help!

Can you post a snip of the resulting code? (may need to be a screenshot...)

Yep, that's what I expected to see...

Note that your p elements are formatted with class=FM_TagName, where TagName is the FrameMaker paragraph style.

Use the Style Mapping in the Publish settings to map Fm styles to things in your CSS (and create new styles if the existing ones don't suffice)

Also, map your Table style to a CSS style, or create a new style in the CSS to map to.

This should solve your problem.

You doing this import in RH2019 Classic or with the new style version? I'd be inclined to have a look at the resulting HTML code in your RH topic and then see how it appears in your output's HTML. That might give you some clues as to where it's going sideways.

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for your reply. I'm using the new Robohelp version. I've attached a screenshot of the source code from the webpage. Is this what you are looking for ?
