Question

Bullets, Ordered Lists, and other Formatting Not in HTML Output

Since I have never produced an HTML file from Frame, I was wondering why Heading numbering, ordered list numbering, and bullets are not created in the HTML file.  Am I missing something or is that just what the HTML file conversion does?

    So the output did generate then? The appearance is governed by the CSS applied - but what are you using this HTML for? If you picked the Basic HTML output option, that's usally going to be imported into some other system for display in it; if you choose Responsive HTML5, you'd be ready to display it on a webserver (or LAN server) "out of the box".

    Yeah, I let is site for a long time (over night) and it finally created an output.  I honestly am not sure which one I chose (Basic HTML or HTML 5). However, you are saying that the outputs are different.  I suppose I would be using it for LAN, so I am guessing I didn't produce HTML 5.  Will give it another shot and see what I get.

     

    Not sure why text would be missing though.  Not going to worry about the last output for now.  Want to see what I get with HTML 5, first.

     

    Thanks!

    All patched up? Got rights to wherever you told it to produce the output?

    Somewhat.  It's not the output I was looking for because there are formatting issues, TOC aligns at almost the center and titles are cut off on the screen, some text and generated sections are missing, etc. I could attach the HTML files if you want to take a look.  Let me know.

    That's in the Publish > Settings > edit screen.

    And exists in the /Style Mapping\ for both Basic HTML and Responsive HTML5.

    It would need to be touched for each autonumbered Paragraph Format entry.

    Ok set mapping for each tag and when I click to produce output, the progress indicator stops about half way and sits there for quite a long time.  Any known issues, or does it just take an hour to translate?

    Are you Publishing to HTML or doing old HTML save as?

    And if Publish, check the Style Mapping for the settings (.sts) file.
    The default, curiously, is apparently not:
    ◉ Convert to List (using CSS autonumbering)

    Didn't find the .sts radio butotn you are referring to.  I am using 2020.
