Question

Link .CHM to .CHM using FrameMaker/Robohelp

  • March 27, 2017

I'm using the Adobe Technical Communication Suite 5. I've got two FrameMaker 12 books, each linked to its own RoboHelp HTML 11 project, and I'm generating two separate .CHM files.

I'm trying to figure out how to create a hyperlink from one .CHM file to a specific topic in the other .CHM file. The two .CHM files are going to be in the same directory, but customers have the option of installing both .CHM files in any directory they choose, so I need to use a relative path name.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Are you hoping for a solution that is handled in Frame that sails on into Robohelp? Or are you open to using RoboHelp to create the links?

Cheers... Rick

    Hi, Rick,

    Thanks for your reply.

    I was hoping to add something in FrameMaker (a hypertext marker of some kind maybe?) that would get converted to a working link in RoboHelp.

    Any ideas?

    Jill

    I think you're going to have to add this to your list of post-processing tasks - I don't think it's going to be supported in FM.


    I think you may be right. I'm going to try posing the question to the folks at the FrameMaker forum, though. It's a long shot, but maybe someone over there can help.

    Thanks for trying.
