Hi Yves,

I also started to convert my unstructured documentation to HTML5.
And I do not have any tutorials or best practices. I am still experimenting.
I will look for more information in the online help and in the various forums
and blogs.
My first impressions and questions:

o Default settings are good.

o I do not know which font will be used. Probably my font will be replaced
  by something else. However, I do not know, which fonts are on Android
  or iOS. Is there are default replacement?

o Graphics conversion with SVG is best. However, if you have
  some other objects in the same anchored frame, then you should
  convert to raster images. I find the results much better than I expected.

o When you have tables with table titles with several paragraphs, then
  you have to use a work-around. HTML allows only a single paragraph.
  See here: https://forums.adobe.com/message/10987920#10987920

o I do not know how I can define which text goes into a topic title.
  E.g. when my paragraph to start a new topic has a table anchor, then
  the whole anchor paragraph and the whole table text will be in the topic
  title.

o Most of our products have order codes like 123.4567. When I want
  to search for such order codes, the . is interpreted as separator between
  two words. As if I want to search for 123 and 4567. I do not know a solution.

o Of course I had written documents with a certain layout. I have to find
  solutions for some of my paragraph layouts (e.g. right-aligned tab stops).

o I adapt a copy of the regular settings file on our network. I do not know,
  if there is a standard solution, where this settings file should reside.

Best regards

Winfried

Hi group

I'm looking for best practices and good documentation (or user groups) on how to use and customize FrameMaker 2019 responsive HTML5 output, generated from unstructured Fm files and from ditamaps. The FrameMaker "Help" does not help me very much:

Thanks
