Here's my latest issue:
In FrameMaker, I have hyperlinks scattered throughout the
text in various chapters. I used the standard FM Hyperlink markers
Specify Named Destination and Jump to Named Destination and the
hyperlinks appear perfectly in my PDF output. I am also using a
character tag to format the hyperlink text blue and underlined, as
per the instructions in the FrameMaker online help.
In RoboHelp however, the hyperlinks do not close out. For
example, one hyperlink in a sentence will now include the entire
rest of the sentence in the hyperlink, and the link that is blue
and underlined contains text that it is not supposed to contain. I
have to manually remove the extra attributes from each and every
one of these links in RoboHelp, AND each time I update the files in
FM and re-update in RH, I the incorrect links are back and I have
to manually fix them all over again.
Here is an example:
The text in the FM sentence reads:
" ...via the execDetails() method." with execDetails() being
the hyperlink.
In the HTML code, this is what I'm getting (I'm only showing
the end of the entire tag):
...via the <span class=FM_Hyperlink style="color: #0000ff;
text-decoration: underline; "><a
href="execDetails.htm#execDetailsw">execDetails()</a>
method.</span></p>
Any clues as to what is happening? Is this a bug? Is there
some workaround in FM that prevents this from happening? Why is RH
not closing out the SPAN tag in the right place (it should be
closed out BEFORE the word "method" at the end of the sample above.
My workaround may have to be to remove all hyperlinks from
text and insert Related Topics links to every topic instead.
