Sorry, nope – way out of my company’s price range (LOL)

OK. BTW, do you know any FrameMaker Server users. (I didn't notice a FM Server subgroup. I'll look.) It's pricey, but might be the way we want to go.

Not me – check out Colum McAndrew - robocolumn.com – he’s an RH Server user

OK. BTW, do you use RH Server? If so, what DB backend have you configured.

Oops, sorry – I missed the fact that you’re doing the Publish route directly out of FM – I’m not sure how you configure it. FM12 introduced more controls to be able to tweak the output, but my suspicion is that you may still not have the ability to mess with the resulting ToC. That’s why I’m still in the TCS camp of editing stuff in RH after bringing it in from FM.

Jeff- Yes, just the TOC. But what do you mean to "just edit it". What would be the tool? Skin editor? (Ideally, I'd like to not have an extra editing step every time I do FM to WebHelp.)

Thanks!

This is just your ToC right? Just edit it to make it look the way you want

Hi.

In a FrameMaker book, I have several chapters. When I publish to WebHelp, what I want to see is just each chapter turned in to its own topic. But FrameMaker does is put each topic in its dedicated book (see graphic below). What I'd like to see is one book (5.7 ReleaseNotes) and chapter-based topics beneath it. In short, I'd like to remove the intermediate book layer.

If there's a way to configure this, please advise as to how to do it. It's not clear how to do this from the settings.

Thanks!
