new topic styles vs paragraph mapping

Post by cayennep »

I thought the way this worked was if I select ONLY ChapTitle to be a new topic, Flare will only find those headers in Frame and ONLY make new topics from each of those.

However, it seems to map all h1s to new topics instead.

In paragraph mapping, I did map ChapterTitle to h1

Does Flare then decide all H1s should be new topics? I had this working before and not sure what's different...

Could you try mapping ChapTitle to h1.ChapTitle? That way it would (or might!) differentiate between your chapter titles and ordinary H1. Might be worth a go?

I did do that, thanks
figured out a couple things tho...

1. The specific issue I was having, about so many topics with the same name, was because there were variables in the Frame file headings.
2. It is framemaker import, and it seemed to create a lot more than this top-level topic. So looks like I have no say in what headings are mapped to new topics, unless I'm missing something...
3. I am not sure what is happening with the filename markers from Frame, but wonder if that is contributing. So far, we're not going to remove them as they're used for CSH and maybe links, which the team things will still work. TBD in my view but ever-hopeful!

I can't help with importing from Frame as it's not something I do, but I have a hazy recollection that there's something called "pluqins", a Flare add-in", that can do assorted things like merging topics after import. I have another vague recollection that there's a webinar on the subject but it's a fair while since I watched it so I could be mistaken. Might be something worth looking at though. Good luck.
