External xrefs from FM to... CHM or HTML

[Nantel, Elise]

Hi Framers,

We just converted an SDK project from Robohelp to FM/ePublisher because of Robohelp being discontinued. This project contains two sections: a Programmer Guide with overviews, descriptions, and sample code, and a Reference Guide that is automatically generated by extracting comments in the actual C# code. The final product was two CHM files.

The tool used to generate the Reference Guide is NDoc and is part of the .NET Framework. The available output formats are HTML and HTML Help only (no XML or PDF).

When in Robohelp, I merged the Reference Guide CHM file into the Programmer Guide, and was able to do external cross-references from the Programmer Guide to the Reference Guide (typically on class or interface names). However, now in FrameMaker, how can I do that? From what I see, I can only do xrefs to another FM document. 

Are there plug-ins available? Or new tools to use?

Please answer me directly since I'm on the digest. 

I'm using FM 7.0 on Windows XP.

Thanks a lot.
