Using a topic name marker in TCS2

Report · Jul 11, 2011

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to set up FM to RH converstion for the first time since TCS1. I have TCS2 with FM 9.0p255 and RH 8.0.2.208.

In my project, I'm attempting to use a topic name marker to specify the HTML filename and topic title in RH when I convert my FM files. It appeared to be working well but some in some linked topics, the topic title would be the filename rather than the title I'd specified in the FM marker. After some investigation, it seems that adding cross-references to a topic in FM breaks the topic title portion of the feature. Add the internal cross-reference in FM, update in RH, topic title = topic filename (though they are both specified in the marker). Remove the cross-reference in FM, update RH, and the filename and topic title are as expected.

Has anyone else seen this issue and may know what I'm doing wrong or have found a workaround?

I want to be able to create my TOC separately in RH rather than using the FM version. Not being able to control the topic titles is a big enough deal for me that I may have to abandon the project if I can't fix it.

Thanks for any help,

Glynnis

In case anyone else has this problem, I eventually called Adobe tech support. My issue has been identified as a bug in both TCS2 and TCS3. With any luck, they'll fix it in an update.
