Skipping malformed index marker

Post by pdxwordsmith »

Frame 7, Flare 4.1, WebHelp output

In my Frame source, I have index entries for operators (< and <=). In Frame, they are escaped with "\" (i.e. \< and \<=). When Flare produces WebHelp from the imported Frame, I get this error:
Skipping malformed index marker

Should I be using a different escape character in Frame? If so, what? How do I get around this?

Thanks,
Hanna

You don't need to escape those characters. Remove the backslash and everything should be fine in Frame, and in Flare.

Attached is a topic from the Frame 8 help which states the characters that must be escaped with a backslash.

D'oh! And, all these years I've been escaping those :-) Thanks!
