Framemaker 15 Publisher Woes - ignores HTML5 layout settings

[rombanks]

Hello fellows,

I've imported an SLZ file through the FM Publisher HTML5 Settings dialog and I set the following to False:

Show Index

Show Glossary

Show Filter

Show Search Results in...

When I compile the HTML5, the layout still includes all these elements. I can't figure out why the layout settings are ignored by the publisher. Any ideas?

I did the same in Robohelp, and the settings are treated as expected. I guess there is some nasty bug in the publisher.

Thanks in advance!

***Update: I have FM ver. 13.05. It appears that in an earlier version of FM 15 (ver. 13.0.1), it does work. So the conclusion is that the latest version of FM 15 is buggy! As usually, not surprising...

Fm 13.0.5 was released in October of 2016, so you might want to download the trial of Fm 2017 (14.0.3) to see if the issue has been fixed.

Hi Matt,

Thanks for your response!

It will definitely be interesting to see if this issue was addressed in FM17.

However, even if it was, upgrading to v.17 is not an option. I don't understand how this bug went unnoticed. It's just the matter of basic QA...
