RH 9 Mangles single XREF from FM 10 page

I have a linked project from FM10 to RH9

One one single page, a single Heading 3 is being mangled by the RH import, and for the life of me, I don't know why. There are other Heading 3's on this page which come across fine. For example:

<p class="FM_Heading3"><a name="XREF_33020_System_Preferences"></a>System  Preferences</p>

But one (it is only this one!) comes in like this:

<p x-orig-class="FM_Heading3" class="FM_Heading3"><a name="XREF_38522_Database_Management"></a><xref_marker  mtext="38522:_Heading3:_Database_Management" filepath="C:\Documentation\User Guide\Frame_reference.fm">Database Management</p>

I've even removed the whole section from the document and input again from scratch, but it keeps doing it. Why would it try and link to the related FM file? In Design view it flags it as an unknown tag

Anyone else seen this?

Mark

For starters, map your FM Heading3 style to something in your RH css. You could map it to Heading1 with Pagination (Split Topic) or you could map it to a Heading 2 or Heading 3 if it is  a subsection of your RH topic.

Once you've done that, (removed the horrid class="FM_Heading3" code) then let us know if the problem persists.

BTW, IIRC, RH9 has issues with cross-references that I believe are fixed in RH 9.02 and definitely fixed in RH10

I am using RH10, that came as a part of TCS 4.0.

I am having this problem with bulleted lists. Unfortunately, the issue is random. The same FM tag is imported correctly in some other place in the project.

Here is the issue in detail:

Incorrect Output (Design view):

Incorrect Output (HTML View): (The image int he post is fuzzy. Please click to open it. )

FM content and tag of this content:

Note the difference in tag names between what is shown in RH and FM. As per RH, the original class "x-orig-class" is LB1ListBullet1, whereas in FM, it is "LB1-ListBullet1". I guess that is the cause of this issue. However, I am not able to figure out how this can be prevented. (On a side note, the issue of different tag names in RH and FM for the same content has occurred in other places as well. So, if we get a solution here, I will apply it for those instances.)

Correct Output (Design View):

Correct Output (HTML View): (The image int he post is fuzzy. Please click to open it. )

Here MLB1 is the multi-level list tag (where I have defined the type of bullet required) based on BodyLevel1 paragraph tag. In the Settings ISF file, I have mapped the FM bulleted list tag to BodyLevel1 tag, due to which the output appears correctly.

The 2 things I see:

  1. You appear to be mapping a character tag to a custom <paranum> html element. Track it down and fix this.
  2. You're using an RH Multilevel list, but this is a first-level list. Change it to HTML List.
