Hi Winfried,
you recognized the different layout/formatting concept between Desktop
FrameMaker with Paper/PDF Editing view and the different HTML layout and box
model.
1.) "I do not know which font will be used. "
Font substitution you may define in the resulting CSS. Once defined you can use
the CSS as part of the general conversion settings
2.) a) "Graphics conversion with SVG is best"
Sure it remains SVG
2.b) "However, if you have some other objects in the same anchored frame,
then you should convert to raster images. I find the results much better than
I expected."
This is the standard approach as the layer concept (as defined in FM) is not
supported by the HTML conversion process
The quality has been dramatically improved upon the several updates
3.) "When you have tables with table titles with several paragraphs, then you
have to use a work-around. HTML allows only a single paragraph."
See here: https://forums.adobe.com/message/10987920#10987920
4:) "I do not know how I can define which text goes into a topic title. E.g.
when my paragraph to start a new topic has a table anchor, then the whole
anchor paragraph and the whole table text will be in the topic
title."
Well that's clear, as the table anchor defines the position of the content of
the table within the text flow. This table anchor is a DTP relict.
Therefore in my templates tables must be anchored in an separate paragraphs
called table anchor.
In addition topic title" is a very difficult term which is often misunderstood:
For a customer a topic title always is the first paragraph in a HTML Topic and
therefore it shall start with a heading.
If the topic content does not start with a heading the technical writer created
a structural mistake.
In technical aspects the topic title might be interpreted as the HTML title
tag. Therefore the conversion or topic creation process clearly must take into
account that the first paragraph (heading) and the topic title will get the
identical content.
A third aspect might be seen in the filename of the HTML topic: This can be but
only "by accident" identical with the topic title but never should be taken as
the standard topic title!
5.) "Most of our products have order codes like 123.4567. When I want to
search for such order codes, the . is interpreted as separator between two
words. As if I want to search for 123 and 4567. I do not know a solution."
6.) In my tests (FM 2019) using "wx.yz" seems to work, but highlighting didn't
work - I'll ask the FM development team regarding this issue

Betreff: Re: [Framers] [FrameMaker 2019] Customizing responsive HTML5 output:
best practices and good documentation?
Hi Yves,
I also started to convert my unstructured documentation to HTML5.
And I do not have any tutorials or best practices. I am still experimenting.
I will look for more information in the online help and in the various forums
and blogs.
My first impressions and questions:
o Default settings are good.
o I do not know which font will be used. Probably my font will be replaced
by something else. However, I do not know, which fonts are on Android
or iOS. Is there are default replacement?
o Graphics conversion with SVG is best. However, if you have
some other objects in the same anchored frame, then you should
convert to raster images. I find the results much better than I expected.
o When you have tables with table titles with several paragraphs, then
you have to use a work-around. HTML allows only a single paragraph.
See here: https://forums.adobe.com/message/10987920#10987920
o I do not know how I can define which text goes into a topic title.
E.g. when my paragraph to start a new topic has a table anchor, then
the whole anchor paragraph and the whole table text will be in the topic
title.
o Most of our products have order codes like 123.4567. When I want
to search for such order codes, the . is interpreted as separator between
two words. As if I want to search for 123 and 4567. I do not know a solution.
o Of course I had written documents with a certain layout. I have to find
solutions for some of my paragraph layouts (e.g. right-aligned tab stops).
o I adapt a copy of the regular settings file on our network. I do not know,
if there is a standard solution, where this settings file should reside.
Best regards
Winfried

Subject: [Framers] [FrameMaker 2019] Customizing responsive HTML5 output: best
practices and good documentation?
Hi group
I'm looking for best practices and good documentation (or user groups) on how
to use and customize FrameMaker 2019 responsive HTML5 output, generated from
unstructured Fm files and from ditamaps. The FrameMaker "Help" does not help me
very much:

Thanks
Yves
