[Framers] Table footnotes

[Bragg, Judy - Xylem]

I'm working in unstructured Tech. Comm. Suite 2015, and I have come across a 
couple of problems with table footnotes. I hope someone out there has a way 
around them.

In FM, Table Footnote rolls to the next page:
I have one instance where "the stars have aligned" and  the table happens to 
end right at the bottom of the page, then the table footnotes appear at the top 
of the next.  I'd really prefer that at least 1 row of the table roll to the 
next page so the footnotes aren't orphaned.

I thought it might have to do with the fact that this table is in a text inset, 
but if I go to the source document where the inset is and shorten the text flow 
to beneath the table, the footnotes roll as orphans there too.

The Table Footnote paragraph style is set to Keep With Previous.
Changing table body styles to Keep With the Next would cause other, more 
frequent problems.
Other ideas?

Links to Table Footnotes:
In FM, I have a table where 3 cells should  reference the same footnote.  I 
inserted a footnote in the table at the first instance, then manually made a 
superscript letter coinciding to that footnote in the other 2 cells and 
hyperlinked them to the table footnote.

It works in FM, but when I port over to RoboHelp for the CHM files, instead of 
the manual hyperlinks in those 2 cells, the whole content of the footnote 
appears after the cell body text!  For the moment, I've just removed the 
hyperlinks, but I'm curious why my method isn't working and if there's another 
way.

[Framers] Publishing from FM 2015

[Bragg, Judy - Xylem]

I'm publishing a very large manual from FM 2015 to PDF, HTML5 and CHM and I 
have a few remaining issues I have yet to resolve as I approach deadline:

PDF is perfect!

HTML 5 & CHM:
I have several flowcharts with hotspots for each step in the chart that link to 
the appropriate section in the manual.  The hotspots are not working.  (I know 
that, in earlier versions, when I was publishing through RoboHelp in Tech Comm 
Suite 4, I had to edit the HTML in RoboHelp before I did the final compile 
because the hotspot didn't make the image conversion.  Is this still the case?  
If so, is there any way I can do something similar with the HTML5 topics to 
make them link?  (I can't imagine there's any help for CHM, if I publish 
directly from FM?)

CHM Only:

-  Table text is mapped to the same CSS styles as non-table text, yet 
it is rendered 2-4 points larger.  The overall effect of the larger font and 
line spacing is pretty ugly.  Note, the CHM and HTML5 are generated from the 
same sts and css, and the HTML5 renders correctly.

-   I see no place to tell it not to generate an Index tab.  There are 
some index tags that were imported from Word years ago, but I have not indexed 
in years so any index I might generate now would be incomplete.

As always, any thoughts or ideas would be so appreciated!

Re: [Framers] Publishing Help fails

[Bragg, Judy - Xylem]

It turns out you all had a piece of the ultimate solution.  For some, still 
unknown reason, the crash appears to be linked to the images in that 89th 
document where the crash occurred.  That FM wouldn't even publish on its own 
until I removed the pictures.

They were all PNG format so...I just put them back in, a few at a time, and 
recompiling.  It never crashed again so...something about the link itself, 
maybe.

Anyway, It's compiling successfully now.  Thank you for all of your suggestions.

[Framers] Publishing Help fails

[Bragg, Judy - Xylem]

Thanks for your suggestions.

I had contemplated publishing FM #89 to the end, or #89 alone, but I have 
cross-references between FMs that would be broken if I did that. Wouldn't that 
cause other problems?

[Framers] Publishing Help fails

[Bragg, Judy - Xylem]

Hi Framers,

I have TCS 2015 on a 64-bit Win7 machine with almost 19 Gb free HD space & 16 
Gb RAM.

This is my first time around using FrameMaker 2015 and attempting to publish 
our Help files from FrameMaker.  I learned a lot from Matt Sullivan's course 
and successfully published a "test run" in November, so  I thought I was all 
set and all I'd have to do is update the content, tweak the CSS a little bit, 
and republish.  Well...nothing's ever easy!

I'm publishing a large book (2400 pgs) with about 100 component FM files.

-  All files open in FM without error.

-  Style sheet and mapping are complete.

-  When I attempt to publish to HTML5, the process crashes at the 89th 
document. A "Failed Importing Documents" message appears, then FM closes.  No 
files have been updated, even the first 88.  At least the Date Mod. property is 
still the date I initiated the project.
I contemplated dividing the book and attempting to publish the second half 
alone (as a test or to get the missing image files) but that would more than 
likely cause error messages due to unresolved cross-references.

Since I do have Tech. Comm. Suite, and I'm experienced with publishing CHM from 
RoboHelp, I tried going that route as well.  Everything seemed to go normally 
until I started scanning the output and found some missing images.  I see the 
*.PNG name, but no image.  On further investigation, I find there are almost 
500 image files of 0 Kb!  It appears that all of the "missing images" are in 
sections from the second half of the book (starting before the 89th FM where 
the other process crashed).

The only other thing I can think of is that it needs more memory to publish 
such a large book.  That being said, I *have* removed about 10 Gb of files from 
the HD today.  It's possible I had more free space in November than I do now.  
Is it worth a try to free up more HD space for the compile?

Any words of wisdom are welcome.  I'm about out of ideas.

Thanks in advance,

[Framers] Autonumber Format

[Bragg, Judy - Xylem]

Tammy,

According to the manual, \sn is an en space.  If a tab works better for you, go 
for it.

[Framers] Publishing HTML5 and CSS implementation in FM 2015

[Bragg, Judy - Xylem]

Hi all,

I've been learning to publish to HTML5  from FM 2015 and I have a couple of 
"problem paragraph styles" and I'm hoping someone here has a fix suggestion.  
Here's what I'm doing:

The Beware, Note, Important and Tip paragraph styles all begin with the 
corresponding tag word and are configured with hanging indent to accentuate the 
tag word.  I have 3 note styles, each indented a different amount to align with 
BodyText (Note0) and list level indents (Note1, Note2). The other styles are 
configured to make their tag word extend into the side head in the PDF output, 
but I don't think that makes a difference in the HTML5 output, which is 
formatted based on an imported CSS.
[cid:image004.png@01D31CF6.47C51FF0]
Until recently, I've been typing & formatting that tag word manually each time. 
 Now, I'm trying to let FM 2015 do it by configuring the paragraphs to 
"autonumber" the paragraph with the tag word, and each tag word has a distinct 
character style applied.

Here's the problem: Tip, Important, Note1 & Note2 all render correctly in the 
HTML5. The Beware and Note0 styles appear correctly except no character style 
is applied to the tag word.  It's extra troubling because the Beware and 
Important styles are almost identical--the only difference is the text and 
character style of their tag words-- but 1 works and the other doesn't.

When I look in the source code, the paragraphs that render correctly, have span 
tags that apply the character style (class) to the tag text.  For some reason, 
those other 2 do not and their tag words appear in the default paragraph (body) 
font.
Important Style works:

-  CSS

p.ImportantP {

  margin-left:54pt;

  text-indent:-.75in;

  background-color:CCE4FF;

}

p.ImportantP:before {

 content:Important: \0020;

}

span.ImportantC {

 font-weight:bold;

 font-variant:small-caps;

 color:#bc0c3d;

 font-style:normal;

 font-size:11pt;

}

-  OUTPUT:
Important:All
 data should be logged on the SURVEY 
or DREDGEPACK(r)computer.
 

Beware style doesn't.

-  CSS:

p.WarnP {

  margin-left:54pt;

  text-indent:-.75in;

  background-color:CCE4FF;

}

p.WarnP:before {

  content:beware: \0020;

}

span.WarnC {

  font-weight:bold;

  font-variant:small-caps;

  color:#bc0c3d;

  font-style:normal;

  font-size:11pt;

}

-  OUTPUT:

Beware! Take care about archiving files that may be 
contained in more than one LOG file. If you archive a file contained in more 
than one catalog, it will be unavailable to any catalogs of which it is a 
member in your Data Files list.
Where is the FMAutoNumber_1 class from? (It's not in the CSS) And why does it 
appear in 2 styles, but not the others?

I'm out of ideas. How about you?

We've been using CHM for context sensitive help (a requirement). Are the other
