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 t

What this means is that you have to include the paragraph marker at the end of the bulleted paragraph. Craig Ede > Subject: Re: framers Digest, Vol 109, Issue 6 > From: smcdonald...@comcast.net > Date: Sat, 8 Nov 2014 22:18:13 -0500 > To: framers@lists.fr

Generating web-based help

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 bo

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, the

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 wrote: > Up to this point, I’ve never generated web-based help, only Microsoft HTML > Help 1.x with Framem

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 AM

David, are you still using WebWorks ePublisher to generate your help system? If yes, have you considered outputting to WebWorks Reverb? Nadine > > From: David Millis >To: "framers@lists.frameusers.com" >Sent: Monday, November 10, 2014 10:53 AM >Subject: Genera

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 u

I’m not sure how useful this will be to people, but Sumatra PDF, a lightweight PDF viewer, can open .chm help on network drives. http://blog.kowalczyk.info/software/sumatrapdf/free-pdf-reader.html It’s also generally a very nice, minimal PDF reader. From: framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com [
