You can convert the context-sensitive Help markers that you insert in your
FrameMaker documents and reuse them as map IDs. You specify the
context-sensitive Help marker in the Project Settings dialog box before linking
FrameMaker documents. You can also specify this setting when you import
FrameMaker documents. You can work with context-sensitive Help markers in
FrameMaker documents in two ways:
Automatic conversion of map IDs from FrameMaker documents
You apply context-sensitive Help markers in your FrameMaker documents, and
specify the marker type in the conversion settings. RoboHelp imports the
markers from FrameMaker documents and adds the map IDs from the strings
contained in the context-sensitive Help markers.
Manually adding a map ID file
If you received map IDs from your development team, you use these map IDs
as the context-sensitive Help marker text strings for the marker to be used as
context-sensitive Help marker in your FrameMaker documents. Later, you create a
map ID file by associating the map IDs from the development team and the
context-sensitive Help marker text you inserted in the FrameMaker documents.
You then add this file to the project. When you link or import the FrameMaker
documents, you specify the context-sensitive Help marker in the conversion
settings.
Select File > Project Settings.
In the Import tab of the Project Settings dialog box, click Edit under
FrameMaker Document.
In the Other Settings group of the Conversion Settings dialog box, enter
the Context-Sensitive Help Marker.

Subject: how to create an embedded mini-TOC or similar?
FM10. I have this 150-page chapter that's similar to an API reference.
Each of 4-500 settings has its own topic starting with a "heading 1"
of its name. The headings are in alphabetical order.
There are obstacles to creating context-sensitive help so as a workaround I'd
like to create a compact, multi-column list of links at the beginning of the
chapter. Any suggestions on how to do that?
The headings rarely if ever change so I could live without it updating
dynamically.
I thought maybe I'd start by creating a table of contents for the chapter, but
it doesn't have hyperlinks the way the book TOC does.
