Question

RH converts too much text in hyperlink

I am linking a FM9 book in RH8.

RH is making all text to the right of the url a hyperlink. How can I correct this?

Example:

Visit our website at www.ourpage.com or contact your sales representative for more information.

I just ran into the same thing with 2 separate clients.

Here's hoping the RH engineers see this, but I'll also be posting this at adobe.com/go/wish as a bug.

Frame Character style used is "FMLink"

CSS style mapped to is RHLink

Frame Example:

See roundpeg.com for more info

  • where FMLink applies bold
  • there is a valid hypertext marker in roundpeg.com,
  • where the character tag is appropriately mapped to a css style)

Is converted into html as follows:

<p>See <span class=RHLink><a href="http://roundpeg.com>roundpeg.com</span> for more info</a></p>

(I typed this from memory, so pardon any html syntax errors)

The result is the underlined text extending to the end of the paragraph as described in original post. This also happens with XREF's

The only (weak) workarounds I found are

  • to ensure that my <a>'s all exist at the end of paragraphs
  • are formatted as bulleted lists
  • exist as separate entries in table cells (with no text after link)

Anyone know a better solution?

Hi,

I found also a workaround for that problem:

With that you need only to change the import settings in RH.

Look at the FM source. Sounds like maybe there is no space between the URL and the follow-on text or something like that.

I have checked the FM doc, and all is well. I have even inserted hyperlinks in

different locations and the result is the same, all text to the right of the supposed link is included in the link. I have even assigned a character tag and mapped it to RH, but same results.

I'm not a FM user so only one other thing to suggest. Put the URL on a unique line to see what happens then. Not what you want but it might give you some clues.
