If you're going to be publishing both PDF and online help, that's what I'd do. The developers should let you know when they add a new context ID. If they neglect to, when you notice a new ? button in the UI you can ask them. Again, be sure when the help call encounters an unmapped context IDs

The Using FrameMaker topic says it creates a "sample" map file which you can use "as a reference to create your map file." What does that mean? https://help.adobe.com/en_US/framemaker/2019/using/using-framemaker-2019/WS2d2a17056e2191986533fc06144fd9afdc4-8000.html It doesn't sound like it

Hi In the link you sent, it says that the FrameMaker publish procedure creates a sample h file. And it does indeed. Unfortunately, as you noted, creating HTML 5 help is not documented well enough in the Frame help. Caroline Tabach On Wed, 15 May 2019, 22:20 Robert Lauriston, wrote: >
