Question

Mapping FM figure/table caption pgf formats to Robohelp 15 style

Hello fellows,

I have an FM 13 book linked to a Robohelp project and I am in the middle of mapping the FM pgf styles to RH styles.

I don't see a way to map FM figure/table captions to any similar RH style as there isn't any. As far as I understand, setting the mapping to Source isn't recommended.

Any ideas how to proceed?

Additional question is how to map the FM Note/Caution tables to a similar table in HTML?

Thank you in advance!

Can't help you with the captions as I don't use them in my FM to RH project, but aren't they listed as a FM paragraph tag? Can you give us a screenshot of what your Conversion Settings screen looks like? I'm sure that there is a Table mapping section in there IIRC. BTW - the Source mapping can work fine - it will just give you a RH style called "FM_xxxx" where xxxx is the FM para tag name.

Hi Jeff,

Thank you for your response!

Yes, the FM Figure Title and Table Title pfg tags are listed, but I wonder if there is a need to map them to some HTML tag/style. I read somewhere that mapping to Source is not a good practice as the CSS is then full of irregular tags (as you mentioned, "FM_xxxx").

My Note and Caution tables have a corresponding icon in the 1st column and text in the second column. I don't see a way to create a similar table in RH. How do I preserve the icon in the 1st column?

Thanks for your input in advance!

Hi Peter,

Thank you for your response!

The table style editor is quite limited when defining the style. When the style is created, it is possible to edit it and configure more properties, but none of them address the issue I have with the RH style.

Here is a screenshot of a Note table defined in FM:

Hi guys,

I've installed a trial version of RH 2017, as Jeff suggested.

Unfortunately, the output has the same issues as in RH 2015.

The references to figures, tables, as well as text with a character style applied to it appear on a separate line and are wrapped with <pre>.

Note tables don't include the Note graphic. BTW, even if I manually add an anchored frame to the 1st column of the Note table and insert an image by reference, the image doesn't show up in the RH output. This is really frustrating. RH doesn't function as it should.

Regards,

Roman
