That’s because you posted in the FM Integration forum – that means you’re taking your source FM content and bringing it into RH (either by importing or linking) to generate help. The “direct publishing” to help from FM doesn’t have a dedicated forum (at least not yet). IMHO, the level of control that you can exercise when “FM direct publishing” can’t be matched by what you get via RH (currently).

Thanks Jeff, I've done that.

The help file references Robohelp rather than Framemaker help though, and there doesn't seem to be a proper Skins Editor for Webhelp in Framemaker so I've switched to Responsive HTML5.

Thanks for your help.

PS – you’ll probably have to right-click on the downloaded file and go to Properties to Unblock it.

Customize TOC icons in Webhelp?

Hi all

I'm using Framemaker 12 and RH 11 as part of TCS5.

I've been trying in vain to change the icons that appear as part of the TOC when I generate to Webhelp.

I'm using a custom .skn file, in which I have a section that looks like this:

<image>page:page.gif?openedbook:bookopen.gif?closedbook:book.gif?</image>

<color>background:White alink:Silver hover-color:Navy</color>

<font>font-family:Verdana font-size:8pt font-weight:Normal font-style:Normal text-decoration:none font-sizeadjust:none font-stretch:normal font-variant:normal font-color:Black</font>

</subpane>

I have the three image files, page.gif, bookopen.gif and book.gif in the same folder as the skn file, but it does not seem that these are getting picked up during generation.

I have changed the colour of the closed book from blue (seemingly the default) to green, but this does not change in the compiled webhelp.

Can anyone suggest anything for me to try, please?
