Bullet Points Not Displaying Properly in HTML5

[Ekkuzu]

Hi Community,

In Framemaker, I have bullet lists and indented bullet lists created utilizing an EDD. Within Framemaker they are displayed like this:

•     Bullet 1

      •     Bullet 2

In HTML5, it is displayed like this:

•Bullet1

     •Bullet2

Can someone provide me with guidance as how to fix this issue?

Thank you.

Looking through my HTML5 code, it seems to be missing "FM_AutoNumber1" and is just displaying the text "•Bullet1".

Can anyone help me with Framemaker recognizing that my elements have autonumbering properties?

In Unstructure FM, it's in the mappings you do in the Settings pod for the HTML5 output; with Structured, no idea - sorry!

I was able to fix how Framemaker was translating the autonumbering by overwriting the style utilizing the Paragraph Designer. It seemed redundant as my autonumbering was established within the EDD but at least it works now.

This is because the Publish command doesn't use any structure information from a Structured FrameMaker document. It simply uses the document's paragraph formats, etc. as if the document was unstructured. If you do "local" formatting in your EDD instead of calling template formats, you will have these issues.

When using structured FrameMaker, a better approach is to use XSLT to convert your FrameMaker content to HTML.
