Chunking FM files into Topics for RH

[Jeff Coatsworth]

Maybe I misunderstood - are these chunks all within 1 .fm file or 1 .book? I was assuming that they were separate .fm files and could be recombined in a new .book structure for the purposes of conversion.

Hi, Jeff.

Do you mean cut delete the content that is not wanted in online help and create a second set of parallel, cut-down .fm files? That would mean blowing up the single-sourcing model, which I would not want to do . .  If you mean something else, I'm all ears.

Thanks.

What I would do is build a new .book file with all the required bits you want to see over in RH & then bring that in.

Dang, I think.

Let's say I have a longish chapter:

Chapter Title
Internal TOC
Heading 1 Intro
Heading 2
Heading 2
Heading 2
Heading 1
Heading 2
Heading 2
Heading 2
Let's say that, of all of that content, the only content I want to transform into .html topic files are the sections with asterisks:

Chapter Title
Internal TOC
**Heading 1 Intro
**Heading 2
Heading 2
Heading 2
****Heading 1
****Heading 2
*Heading 2
Heading 2
 Let's further say that I want to combine the two sections preceded by ** into one .html topic file, and I also want to do the same with the two sections preceded by ****.

In other words, I want to carve information out of the larger chapter and only convert that carved-out info into online help.

I was hoping I could insert a marker called, say, Customer Help Marker Start at the beginning of each chunk and a marker called Custom Help  Marker End at the end, thus identifying each new .html topic that way, but that is not to be, eh?

Instead, I need to use a combination of conditional text and custom markers to get the effects I want.

Does that sum it up?

Thanks.
