Troubleshooting Frame 12's Publish pod

[Amit Jha]

Hi Theresa de Valence



Thanks for reporting the issues.



I have seen the your post on the forum, Arnis Gubins<https://forums.adobe.com/people/Arnis%20Gubins> Sep 10, 2014 6:17 PM (in response to TdeV1<https://forums.adobe.com/message/6719491#6719491>) has already responded how to customize the styles.

I am providing some more links which may help you

http://help.adobe.com/en_US/framemaker/using/WS2d2a17056e21919879671c77142c1ced24b-8000.html



To override output specific css use "Override Style: Import a .css file to override the defined output styles.<http://help.adobe.com/en_US/framemaker/using/WS2d2a17056e2191985844af1a142be0be50b-7ff9.html>"



- chapters out of order

We have also observed this, if any chapter is not part of TOC, then it appends that in last, We are providing fix of this in our next update coming soon.



- error message when Table of Contents item is clicked

                We will look into it, Please provide us a sample document where it repro, that will help us for speedy investigation.



Regarding CSS, FM keep a single css for style mapping that you can set it though import style in style mapping dialog. And you can export the css if you did any customization though FM CSS editor.



Please let me know if you need any help.



Thanks

Amit Jha

My unstructured Frame book autonumbers correctly, generates TOC, saves to pdf and displays correctly.



I?ve minor experience creating html newsletters, so I?ve seen a CSS. I understand enough about ePub to know that a CSS will control formatting.



Using Frame 12?s Publish feature, the ePub is generated successfully.

The epub has

-chapters out of order,

-a correct TOC (from fm book files), but an error message when Table of Contents item is clicked on ("The file x.htm does not exist") [from Sigil, an ebook publisher, which shows the content of epubs] -a CSS for every file in the book



Previously I thought that the left hand (Frame) didn?t know what the right (CSS) was doing, or how elements related to each other, and so I needed to use a structured Frame document to establish the relationship.

I?ve been told that?s incorrect.



I now understand that Frame 12?s ability to publish to epub, etc. is derived from Robohelp, but it?s been a trillion years since I used Robohelp, so that doesn?t help me. I haven?t had a copy of Robohelp on my machine for decades, so I can?t see this live.



In the Publish pod, edit Settings, a Style Mapping dialogue shows all of the current document?s paragraph tags. Selecting one paratag (the left

hand) displays a choice of "output" (the right hand). (I posted the screen images to adobe.com forum here:

https://forums.adobe.com/message/6715414#6715414 )



Where does this list of output styles (elements) come from? Adobe?s programmers? An accident of fate? What defines what that format is? Is this where the CSS comes from?



Since I?m publishing rubbish, have I inadvertently massaged my Settings file? Where do I find an uncorrupted one?



I can understand tweaking a CSS to make it better, but I can?t understand if I haven?t created a CSS in the first place.



Ideas or pointers are appreciated.



Thanks,

Theresa
