USING ROBOHELP HTML 10 66 Projects FrameMaker document components converted to RoboHelp RoboHelp converts most of the FrameMaker components when you link or import FrameMaker documents. The following tables list the major FrameMaker document components and show how they are converted in RoboHelp. FrameMaker files Book files TOC Text insets Index and glossary Documents contained within the book are converted (FM, XML, MIF, HTM, and HTML files). XHTML files that are included in the FrameMaker book must be valid XHTML. Validate the XHTML in FrameMaker itself. All other files in the FrameMaker book are ignored. Child books, folders, and groups in FrameMaker 9 books are converted and appear as folders in the RoboHelp projects. See "Hierarchical structure in a FrameMaker 9 book" on page 73. Converted, if selected. See "Convert a FrameMaker TOC" on page 68. Text insets in the FrameMaker documents are considered part of the FrameMaker document itself and are inserted as text in the RoboHelp topic. Once inserted, the content cannot be edited as a text inset in FrameMaker but can only be edited as text within Robohelp. Index and glossary files generated in the FrameMaker book are not converted. Instead, the index markers and glossary markers in the imported FrameMaker documents are converted if selected. See "Import FrameMaker index entries" on page 68 and "Import glossary definitions" on page 69. Variables and conditional text Variables Conditional tags Equations Converted. User-defined variables in FrameMaker are converted as such in RoboHelp and can be redefined. Apply relevant conditional text tags to suppress variables that shouldn't appear in online format. For example, you can suppress the Table Continuation variable in table headers for tables that break across pages in the FrameMaker documents. Converted as RoboHelp conditional build tags. See "Conditional text" on page 230. Convert equations to images and insert them in the RoboHelp topics after conversion. Markers Cross-references, hypertext, URLs Converted to hypertext links. You can map the cross-reference formats in RoboHelp so that you can remove the volume, chapter, and page references that are not relevant in online format. Unresolved cross-references and hypertext entries appear as text in online Help. URLs become live hypertext links in the online Help output. See "Convert FrameMaker cross-reference formats to RoboHelp styles" on page 74. Index and glossary markers Converted to an index and glossary when creating project. See "Import FrameMaker index entries" on page 68 and "Import glossary definitions" on page 69. Topic name markers Converted if you select this option in the project conversion settings. Use topic name markers to create topic titles and topic filenames from the marker text. See "Setting pagination and topic names" on page 75. Context-sensitive Help markers Converted if you select this option in the project conversion settings. Use Context Sensitive Help Makers in FrameMaker to specify text in FrameMaker document for generating Context Sensitive Help. See "Setting pagination and topic names" on page 75.
