Question

The hierarchy of the table of contents is broken when reading a FrameMaker document.

After importing a FrameMaker book into RoboHelp, the TOC hierarchy is swapped.

FrameMaker's table of contents has the correct paragraph formatting.
Is there any setting method to improve this phenomenon?

 

Version

RoboHelp 2022.0.3.46
FrameMaker 17.0.1.305

    Hmm, I've never had a FM TOC to be brought over to RH that ever went that deep. I suspect you're going to have to do a little post-import editing to push those h4's in a bit.

    Thank you for your response.
    I solved it myself by:

     

    Fixed font size in FrameMaker table of contents.
    Up until now, I've been distinguishing between h3 and h4 only by indentation.
    Decreasing the h4 font size by about 2pt improved the loading of the table of contents.

    Ah right - I completely forgot that the FM to RH TOC maker uses both indents & font size to figure it out (mainly because I only go a couple of levels deep in my FM/RH TOC).
