Question

Table autonumbering disappears in .chm output

Hello.

I am using Frame 2015 in a Win 7 environment.

My table titles include autonumbering. So do my figure captions.

When I publish to .chm, the table autonumbering disappears, whilc the figure caption autonumbering is displayed correctly. I've poked around in the Publish Settings but don't see any obvious way to handle the problem.

Does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it?

    Hi Nancy, it seems to work for me. In this example I mapped the  Border Blue table format to the ​Simple Border​ format in the Publish settings.

    Here is what the fm source file looks like:

    .chm looks like tjis:

    Interestingly, autonumbering is preserved in html5 output. But we currently use .chms.

    Could someone who keeps an eye on this forum please take a look at this question? I've been playing around with editing the Publish output settings with no luck. Not only are the autonumbers truncated, so are parts of the Table Title text. This is a real problem.

    It looks like this:

    There should be this additional tex preceding what you see in the title:

    Figure ##  8 additional alpha characters

    Jeff, do you have autonumbered table titles? The autonumbering doesn't come through even in tables in the main text column.


    Ok, Autonumbering doesn't make a difference. If I turn it off in a TableTitle for a table that stays in the main text column, the table title is still truncated. Instead of losing the autonumbering, I lose the first few words of the title.
