USING ROBOHELP HTML 9 70 Projects Structured FrameMaker components XML files in book XHTML files in book Content references Converted like FrameMaker documents. Converted like FrameMaker documents. Text or files inserted into FrameMaker documents as content references appear as part of the topics where they appear. They do not appear as references in the online Help outputs. See "Content reference" on page 74. Conversion basics Convert a FrameMaker TOC When you import a FrameMaker book to a RoboHelp project, you can also import the table of contents (TOC). Import the TOC into the RoboHelp project to retain the navigation structure you defined in the FrameMaker book. 1 Select File > Import > FrameMaker Document. 2 In the Content Settings dialog box, select Convert FrameMaker Table Of Contents, and browse to select the FrameMaker TOC file. 3 Select one of the following options: Add To Existing TOC Appends the TOC entries to any existing RoboHelp TOC in the project. Select an existing RoboHelp TOC from the list. Create New Associated TOC Enter a name for a new associated TOC that is added to the RoboHelp project. Styles in the FrameMaker TOC determine which TOC items become books, sub-books, or pages. The most important element in determining the level is the leftmost indent, followed by the font size and font weight. TOC entries that have indented items under them become books in the RoboHelp TOC. If all the TOC entries have the same indention, font size, and weight, the TOC in RoboHelp appears flat. • To make a heading a main book, include indented heading levels beneath that heading, or use smaller fonts or no bold for the subsumed headings. • To make a heading a sub-book, place the heading under a main heading. Then include indented heading levels beneath the sub-book heading, or use smaller fonts or no bold for the subsumed headings. • To make a heading a page, don't include any heading levels beneath that heading. Indent the page heading, or use smaller fonts or no bold. Differences between FrameMaker and RoboHelp TOCs You can either import the FrameMaker TOC or automatically create a TOC in RoboHelp from generated topics. • In FrameMaker, the TOC is generated according to the heading styles that you include in the TOC. In RoboHelp, the TOC is generated according to the topic titles. If you use topic name markers in FrameMaker to name the topics when you import FrameMaker documents, filenames in RoboHelp differ from the topic titles. • Autocreating a TOC for a FrameMaker 9 book can create multiple layers of content because of the folder structure in a FrameMaker 9 book. • In RoboHelp, you can place a TOC placeholder in another TOC, thus allowing you to create nested TOCs.
