walkthrough/tutorial/introduction to RH Classic 2019

@Matt – the Fiery Pantone handle is so old all I can remember is there to be used some ?output component? called a Fiery :-}
As for why I'm asking about RH, a while back "my" developers and I replaced 300+ .pdf pages of documentation for a humongously complicated system/interface with WebHelp from DITA [but not FM] source: everyone's very happy with it, even to the extent where other developer teams are asking if they can have something similar. The latest request is for hardware documentation, where they've seen a layout with a graphic (or even a small animation) left and simple instructions right; so Responsive would be nice. I've more or less caught up with the idea that HTML5 could be a replacement for WebHelp, so I've been looking at both FM2019 and RH.
I think the interfaces of both RH and RH Classic would quickly drive me to drink and despair, so I'll take your advice and concentrate on FM. And start asking more precise questions.

@Jeff – no, never tried this before; as to linking vs importing I don't actually know; yes, I'm trying to compare HTML5 from FM with HTML5 from RH … so generally coming up with too many questions at once :-}

@Matt - the only reason I've heard of not going direct from FM is the new frameless skin that the New UI sports in its grab-bag of layouts that FM doesn't have (yet).

While not a review of the Fm to Rh workflow, there's a brief review of the direct Fm process in my free Intro to FrameMaker course at https://techcomm.tools/fm2019intro

Hi FieryPantone,

I've always wondered, which color swatch is Fiery, anyway...

Getting back to your post, though, what's your need for using RoboHelp in publishing your Fm content?

I do my online pub of Fm books via Fm directly. I don't know of any specific advantages to running it through Rh, unless you're combining the Fm content to existing Rh content.

Of course, if you're porting the content and no longer plan on editing in Fm, that would change the story, but in that case, it's only a one-off, and likely faster to just grind through the oddities than to address the inconsistencies that crop up with any conversion*

*By inconsistencies, I mean ad hoc formatting, such as "faking" a heading or numbered list without applying a style,

There's a number of older posts on the TCS integration out there on the Adobe TCS blog and with Matt Sullivan's TechCommTools blog. Have you not done this (FM to RH) in the past? Are you linking or importing your FM content? Have you tried publishing directly out of FM?
