Generating HTML in RoboHelp 10 from FrameMaker 11

[Guest]

Hi,

In FrameMaker 11, i have a .fm source file that uses a custom template. In RoboHelp 10 (trial), how do I create a HTML help file from the source .fm file? Please note that I have a separate .fm template that contains the mappings for the generated HTML (which is different from the source file).

Thanks for your help!

Hi Kathy

You would probably have much better luck in receiving a response by posting this in the RoboHelp FrameMaker integration forum. I'll try and move this thread there.

Cheers... Rick

Try using this link to help you out - http://framemaker.mattrsullivan.com/2010/03/25/controlling-robohelp-output-with-a-framemaker-templat... - Matt recommends this method all the time.

You can use the FM template file to control the formatting from FM, but that's a bit like driving the car from the backseat

Jeff is right, though, that sometimes the template is required and the blog post he referenced will help you to do that.

Instead, consider watching me do a one-hour run-through of the process at http://adobe.ly/16hU5db.

Beyond that, please contact me offline to help with specifics.

Hi Matt,

Is it possible to view this video again? The link below is obsolete and I didn’t locate it on adobe.com.

Thanks for your help!
