Frame bullets not displaying correctly in RoboHelp output

[shubawrites]

I imported a FrameMaker book into RoboHelp and tried to convert it to an epub file.

Can someone help with the following questions?

1. Why does the bullet format get converted as an n character? How do you work around this?

2. Why do the table of contents and title page get added to the end of the epub book?

3. Why do the fonts in the epub file appear different from the help files or Frame files?

Hi Shuba,

1. Why does the bullet format get converted as an n character? How do you work around this?

I'm guessing you have a special bullet character format in FrameMaker. You can try changing that to a standard bullet and it should resolve.

Better, though, convert the bullet paragraph to an HTML list in the RH conversion.

2. Why do the table of contents and title page get added to the end of the epub book?

Good q, I've had that issue as well. No solution thus far.

3. Why do the fonts in the epub file appear different from the help files or Frame files?

The EPUB shoud have a separate CSS that it uses. Try editing that CSS to control the font.
