FrameMaker 2015 (I also have RoboHep if needed)
One of our applications uses a .chm file. Up to now I was working with old
FrameMaker (7.2) and ePubPro (also old).
Now I am creating this from FrameMaker, using the Publish Configuration
options
I have the following questions:
1. The table of contents shows all of the topics at the same level. In the
past in the chm file the headings 1,2 and 3 were shown nested in the
relevant order, can I fix this? If so how?
2. Arrows at the top of the pages to browse through the topics. - Can I
make them appear?
3. In the table of contents the names of the FrameMaker Files appear as the
highest level topics. This is not want I want, I prefer the title of the
file. Is it possible to change this?
4. Any other tips?
5. Could the programmers use WebHelp instead of a .chm file?
Does all of this need to be configured using RoboHelp, if so how does this
all work?
(cross posted)
thanks
