RE: Consistent Conditional Text

2014-11-10 Thread David Artman
Yes, you must always turn on View Text Symbols when you are performing conditional markup (and troubleshooting). The 'gotcha' in FrameMaker is that if you are typing inside of a condition and press Enter for a new paragraph, FM does NOT conditionalize the pilcrow. [I do not know why this is the

Up to this point, I've never generated web-based help, only Microsoft HTML Help 1.x with Framemaker 7.2 as my source documents. The program that my help is used in is now being used as part of a suite of web-based programs. When I view the CHM file in the web-based application, I only see the

There is a fairly easy workaround that I used to use in FM7, when I was using conditional text *a lot*. It's been a while since I've used conditional text more than occasionally, so I can't guarantee it still works. Basically, if you press Enter in the middle of a conditionalized paragraph,

Google MOTW / Mark of the Web. What add-on are you using to generate the help? You should be generating a set of HTML and CSS files, not a CHM. On Mon, Nov 10, 2014 at 7:53 AM, David Millis david.mil...@drakesoftware.com wrote: Up to this point, I’ve never generated web-based help, only

Oh, wait, I was confusing two things. You can't read a CHM on a network drive, that's a Windows security thing. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896054 If you've got a CHM, you're not generating web help. MOTW causes a similar problem when viewing web help in MSIE. On Mon, Nov 10, 2014 at 8:26

David, you don't mention what tools or process you use to create the CHMs, but I'll try to answer your questions: 1. As Roger mentioned, you cannot open a CHM over the web or on network drives. It's a format for local deployment only. 2. You can probably just use the uncompiled HTML. 3. If you
