Why not try creating the ToC in FM and then have it brought over into your RH project? Or you could hand-edit all the ToC entries to make them look nice.

Subject: FrameMaker to RoboHelp XREF in WebHelp TOC output

Hi,
I am trying to link a FrameMaker book into RoboHelp to create an online help system. When I have RoboHelp auto-create a Table of Contents, the section headings (created from the bookmarks) are named like: XREF_56898_About_Application
I need to eliminate the XREF_56898 from the section headings when RoboHelp creates the TOC. Instead, I need to have the TOC section headings named in a pretty format to match the heading names when viewing the book.
RoboHelp seems to get a low-level bookmark name from the FrameMaker book when naming the section headings. Has anyone seen behavior like this before?
I am using FrameMaker 10 and RoboHelp 9. My output format is WebHelp.

The steps I follow are:

1.       Create a new blank project in RoboHelp.

2.       Right-click on Project Files, choose Link, choose FrameMaker Document.

3.       Choose the FrameMaker .book file

4.       Right-click on WebHelp and choose Generate, to generate the WebHelp HTML output.

5.       In the RoboHelp TOC pod, click the AutoCreate TOC button.

Any help or advice is much appreciated.
Thank you,
-Steve K
