Re: How

[Robert Lauriston <robert -at- lauriston -dot- com>]

You're converting your Framemaker source to RoboHelp, or using
RoboHelp to export to HTML?

In the HTML, to avoid having to revise your source, you need set it to
replace each tab with an appropriate number of nonbreaking spaces
(  entities).

You could do the same thing in the FrameMaker source. If tabs exist
only in code listings, a global replace would be easy.

I'd tell you to post that question on the RoboHelp forum, but I see
you did and got no answer: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/520901

You might also call RoboHelp support, this could be a bug.
