FrameMaker 2022 How do you specify html file names for responsive help

Report · Apr 18, 2023

Running Frame 17.0.1.305 (Frame 2022)

I am using Frame to publish documents to Responsive HTML. In Frame 2017, I can specify file names using a marker. In Frame 2022, nothing works. No matter what I do, whether I use Insert > Publish Marker > Apply Page Break Marker, whether I try custom markers, split on paragraph style or not, Frame always creates filenames based on heading text or the file name. Is this a bug? Has anyone been able to successfully specify file names for HTML output?

Thanks for your help

Not being a user of the FM Publish feature, I thought all that was controlled by the Settings (.sts) file. Where was the option to use the Marker text as the filename? Does that option exist in FM2022 still?

It's what the help says. The .sts only lets you control page breaks based on the paragraph style, or by using a marker, but it no longer seems to actually use the marker content for the file name. Unless I'm missing something, which I why I posted. I publish from multiple languages, and I want all the file names to be the same between them, for the same documents.

Hmm, I'd take a look at the Settings screen in FM2017 and compare to FM2022 - I seem to remember there were 2 fields that addressed that - one was for pagination (breaking into topics) and one was for using the marker text for the filename.
Edit - you are doing Unstructured FM right?

The setting you're referring to is Publish "pod" > Edit the responsive html5 > Style Mapping > general Settings, "Split into Topics using marker," and also under Paragraph Styles, split into topics based on this style. The former only seems to split the topic, but in Frame's help it also says you can control the output file name. The latter only causes the topic to split, no relation to its file name. There is also, under General Settings in the sts, "Topic Name Pattern," but I can't find a building block like <$markertext[Filename]> or anything like that. I literally tried that one, and it just translated it into js escapes: "_lt___36_markertext__91_Filename__93__gt_2.htm"

Just for the record this is still and obviously broken. I have logged bug FRMAKER-15126

There is also the Filename marker and that doesn't work either, I think that one was broken between 2017 and 2019.
