HTML Mapping Table

Fri Apr 11 11:32:40 PDT 2014

Yeah, and what a huge space savings it is. About 22 KB according to some tests I ran a while back to see if it was worth the bother. If you delete it from 50 files, you'll save a whole megabyte. Delete it from 50,000 files and you'll save a whole gigabyte, or about 0.2% of a typical internal hard drive.

The way I see it, the HTML mapping reference page causes no harm, causes only a very minor inconvenience with its presence (how many times do you actually go into the references pages for a given file, anyway?), and takes up an insignificant amount of additional disk space, even if I'm compulsive and save 20 intermediate versions of a document. It's simply not worth my time to pay any attention to it. 

In my experience, people who get obsessive about removing *all* unused formats and features from FrameMaker documents spend a lot of time for no day-to-day performance or stability improvement, and often inadvertently break something in the bargain. If a legacy document works properly, don't go looking for trouble in the name of reducing file size, because gigabytes are very cheap these days--on the order of $0.10 per gigabyte. And for most of us, $0.10 only pays for about 10 *seconds* of our time.

You can delete them. There are multiple HTML pages and you have to delete them one by one. They will reappear if you do a saveAs HTML. I routinely delete them in templates that don't use them as a space saving measure.

This is the behavior in FM11 and before. I expect it is the same in FM12.

I’m pretty sure it just in there in the off-chance that you create HTML straight out of FM (which you wouldn’t because it’s supposedly pretty horrible – thus MIF2Go). I think it’s completely harmless to leave
 in there.

I have an HTML mapping table showing up my reference pages. I’m fairly certain I don’t need it—unless someone can explain why I may need it? I don’t create any help from Frame, but I may just be showing my ignorance,
 hence my first question. This mapping table came from an old Frame 7 template (which we were creating help files), which unfortunately carries over even though I’ve updated the templates.

Next, I tried to delete the table from the reference pages, and when I delete the page, it reproduces itself about 8 times, and I have to manually delete all the “new” ones that popped up. Any suggestions on what is going
 on and how to delete once?

I use Frame 12 on a 64-bit Windows 7 system.
