RE: Validating all hypertext links in a FM book?
Thank you Michael!! I've been using FM since version 2.0, and I have to admit that if I ever knew this shortcut, I had long since forgotten it!

Hi Grant, In addition to the validation of cross-references during book updates there is another, not very well-known feature of FrameMaker to validate Hypertext links based on gotolink markers. The keyboard shortcut should be Esc v h (presumably for: validate hypertext) I guess it works, like the cross-reference checks, from file to file and does not take into account if a target document is part of the current book. - Michael Am 20.12.2007 um 17:25 schrieb Grant Hogarth: I've looked in the help and queried the archives, but have been unable to find the answer to the following: Is there a way to validate all the hypertext links in a book?

Not xrefs, but hyperlinks. I know that they can be validated on insertion, but I'm looking for something to run as a QA/QC function before generating a set of HTML files from the FM book. You may start the hypertext validation using a key combination: Escape v h (three separate keystrokes; validates the current document or selected documents in book) This validation is not full-proof, but is still of value. There is also a sample BadLinks plug-in provided with the FrameMaker Developer Kit. After it is compiled and installed (adds an entry under File Utilities Document Reports), the plug-in generates a report of unresolved hypertext markers.

Interesting question. I'm looking for a tool that will validate HTML links as well.

Re: Validating all hypertext links in a FM book?
Hi Grant, What exactly do you mean by validate? Do you want to make sure that URLs are valid? Or are you trying to make sure that gotolinks have a matching newlink? Thanks.
