RE: FrameMaker numbered list mapped to RoboHelp numbered list

These instructions fail to account for pages that have more than one number list in RH projects linked to a FM file. There is no mechanism to properly restart list numbering. You end up with something like this no matter what you do:

Heading 1

1.

2.

3.

Heading 2

4.

5.

6.

You can edit the Paragraph Style and use the Autonumber, Create/Edit Custom Sequence to start the first list item at number one if it has been done in the traditional way in FM (ex. FM paragraph style "Step1" numbering <n=1>. But you run into the same original problem when you try to achieve the same effect by similarly creating an Autonumber Sequence that starts at two. The effect is:

Heading 1

1.

2.

3.

Heading 2

1.

4.

5.

So, the only way to get it to work when linking from FM is to choose the Convert to Text Option in the mapping, which looks terrible and offers no control.

It may have been moved, but it was never answered!
