Question

RH8 -> chm TOC configuration

Hello,

I have a big book in FM9 that I imported to RH8. The TOC is used from the book-file. I generate with RH8 a CHM-file. The problem is now, that each topic is displayed in the CHM-file as one very long page. I want to display each sub-chapter on a new page. The structure in the TOC in the CHM file is already correct, it displays one book per topic and in the book one “file” per sub-chapter. How could I configure RH8 that it shows each sub-chapter (2.1 – 2.2 and so on) on a extra page?

Please see the pictures below.

Assuming that these sub-headings are handled via a style (e.g. Heading 3) in your FM document, you can handle the pagination via the Conversion Settings. Look in File > Project Settings and click on the "Edit Conversion Settings for FrameMaker Documents" button. In there you map the FM document styles to the RH Project styles including pagination.

Thank you for your fast answer.

I tried it out, but the mapping had no effect on the TOC. I think this is so because the TOC is generated from the book-file. See the linked screenshot. All sub-topics displayed in the window are in the chm in one long document. Removing of the "book with link" isn't working.

Sorry I read over the 'pagination' this was the right hint!

With a check in pagination for heading 1 AND heading 2 (in the import settings) the TOC was splitted in small pieces - thank you :-)
