When using the paragraph designer to insert a frame with reference graphics it works out great when generating a PDF. But when publishing to html5 it just adds space - ie the size of the frame - and the graphic is missing.
Please help out, as I have quite a lot of material that needs sorting out in about a weeks time.

The reference frame usage is for print/PDF production and won't work for HTML, CHM or ePub. You could use something like a background-image definition in the appropriate elements of a customized CSS to add highlight graphics or replace the Frame Above/Below with anchored frame graphics.
Regardless, it's a good practice to develop variations on your templates to deal with the strength & shortcomings of the various publishing channels.

What's the graphics file format of the graphic?
FM trashes all graphics to a limited set of raster formats with suboptimal defaults when rendering to HTML (even SVG). The conversion may be failing entirely for whatever image format you are using.

You should specify in the conversion option that Distiller is to be used to get the best quality conversions. However, unless the graphics are in anchored frames, the conversion utilities will ignore them.

Thank you for replying.
In the advanced tab, in paragraph designer, there are options to insert a reference image either above or below the paragraph. The generated html code doesn't include this in any shape or form.
I'm guessing Arnis Gubins is right here. Though I hope someone could prove him wrong.
