FM table footnotes: multiple references to same?

Post by pdxwordsmith »

FM 7.0, Flare 4.1, WebHelp output

I have several tables with multiple references to the same table footnote. From the FM documentation:
To insert more than one reference to a footnote:

1. Insert the first footnote reference.
2. If necessary, create a cross-reference format for additional footnote references.

The cross-reference format must display the footnote number correctly. For example, if footnote references are displayed in superscript, and if the document contains a Superscript character format, a cross-reference format defined as <Superscript><$paranumonly> displays the autonumber of a paragraph as a superscript. When you use it to refer to a paragraph that contains a footnote, it displays the footnote number in superscript.
3. Click where you want to insert the additional footnote reference.
4. Choose Special > Cross-Reference to insert a cross-reference to the footnote where you clicked. Use the cross-reference format you created in step 2.
5. Click Insert. FrameMaker inserts a cross-reference that is identical to the original footnote reference.
When I build the HTML, the original footnote references are lovely, but the subsequent ones show up as raw cross-reference code. The cross-reference format doesn't show up in the Import Editor.


While I'm asking, has anyone figured out how to get tables to indent to the appropriate paragraph level? I used indented paragraphs for my image anchors and it worked beautifully, but the same tactic doesn't work with tables....

Thanks!

I decided to conditionalize and it works just fine.
