Hi,
I have been experimenting with Frame to HTML with Frame 7.2 on Windows XP. For starters, I went to the HTML Setup box and defined the major heading levels. Due to current requirements, I have to have the whole book in one file.
When I used the HTML Setup menu, the first thing Frame did was to ask if I wanted to add several formats to the paragraph and character catalogs. I clicked No because these were old styles that I had deleted.
In the manual it said they were listed on the HTML mapping table on the reference pages, but I could delete them if needed. I deleted all the obsolete formats but some of them still haunt me when I Save as HTML or modify the HTML setup.
Why is that still happening?
As a limited test, I next went through all my section headings and selected "Heading (auto level)", "Include autonumber", and "Start new linked web page" if it was the chapter, appendix, or similar heading. Frame crashed once but the next time it actually created html files.
I also discovered that unresolved cross references wreak havoc with the process so I had to fix those next.
When I created the html files, the new web pages I had specified for the chapter and appendix number formats came up empty. The glossary and index sections went to separate files as expected, but they had unnumbered titles. I had to change the chapter and appendix number formats to "throw away" and set the title formats to open new web pages.
Then, after rebuilding the html files, the links to the sub pages opened in the same tab page, which is not good practice if you want to use the main page as your TOC. I had to edit the main html file and go into the <a href> tags and add target ="_blank".
Another quirk is that the converted TOC links carry their page numbers, which doesn't make sense in html. How do you remove them other than by doing it manually from the html file?
Finally, on the main html page after the full TOC, there is a mini TOC of just chapter, appendix, glossary, and index links. Where is that coming from?
Befuddlingly yours,
Michael F
