cross book link

$

Trying to generate cross-book HTML links using Frame12.

 

Book1 location: C:\test\Book1\Book1.book, and all *.fm files are in the same folder.

Book2 location: C:\test\Book2\Book2.book, and all *.fm files are in the same folder.

 

Book1 - has a book1chapter.fm containing a Header1, where I have created:

- Hypertext Marker newlink book1chapter-test-header (as a target for book2chapter.fm)

- Hypertext Marker gotolink ../Book2/book2chapter.fm:book2chapter-test-header (to link to book2chapter.fm)

- Inserted a cross reference to the Header1 in Book2. (also testing to see if a regular cross-book link will work)

 

Book2 - has a book2chapter.fm containing a Header1, where I have created:

- Hypertext Marker newlink book2chapter-test-header (as a target for book1chapter.fm)

- Hypertext Marker gotolink ../Book1/book1chapter.fm:book1chapter-test-header (to link to book1chapter.fm)

- Inserted a cross reference to the Header1 in Book1. (also testing to see if a regular cross-book link will work)

 

Then, I keep both books open, and generate PDFs for both books. I keep the PDF in the same

folder as their respective *.book and *.fm files. The cross-book link appears active in the PDF,

as in, the icon changes from an arrow to a hand, but clicking on the link does nothing.

 

I also published to Responsive HTML5, but the cross references appear as blue underlined but

are not live links - they are just blue, underlined text.


Does anyone have any advice on what I can do to get this working? Is WebWorks with Frame12 a

better option for accomplishing this, or is this something that can be done with Frame12 alone?

 

Thanks for any help!
