Hi there,
in a complex structure that produces correct PDF-output, the HTML5 help however does not reference links to concepts in the structure.
In the navigation the name concept file is displayed, however the reference link to display the content when clicking on the name is broken and the content is not shown.
Inspecting the navigation element that is not displayed it shows its for some reason just creating an emptyp <a href="#"> without the path.
For the missing ones, I do not know.
Other concepts are just not even displayed in the navigation, even though the html files have been generated.
Can you please help?
I have tried all sorts of structuring and even creating topics instead of concepts.
Nothing worked.
Cheers.
PS: I have the latest update of FM2017 installed.
Found the source of the problem: its a bug!
The conversion can not handle umlauts (ä,ö,ü) and possibly UTF8 characters for concepts, tasks, topics and the like in the file name.
Funny enough it does not seem to have this problem with the ditamap name.
Please fix this.
Thanks.

ok thanks...
so what i figured so far is
that it does not matter if it is a topic or concept that gets lost in the navigation or just not linked the content to
it does not matter what I tried so far - optimizing the dita map and what not... changing the position in the structure from sibling to child or back , nothing
Problem is, that when generating the HTML5 responsive Help content, the TOC (Navigation topics) are either not all generated or some are generated, but do not display the content of the concept file, as the href to the file is missing.
When inspecting the HTML code in the browser it shows that: <a href="#">concept name</a>
Instead of <a href=”path of the correctly generated html file”> concept name </a>
For the missing topics I can just say, that the HTML file has been generated correctly and is there, but the TOC (Navigation) is not showing the file.
The xml files are all valid, so is the structure and also the corresponding HTML files are ALL generated, only the TOC in the Help-Output is buggy.
Please help out here, as this is an urgent project and the Online-Help is useless like this.
