When linking FrameMaker 9 to RoboHelp 8 projects using TCS2, you may get frustrated at the (lack of) control over the size, font, and other properties associated with the autonumbered lists.
Often I hear folks erroneously blame this on the mapping from FM to RH. The mapping actually produces quite clean HTML, but there is a CSS issue that you must also address.
Here’s a quick fix, using the <body> tag to apply global formatting defaults:
In a text or css editor (I use Dreamweaver) open your conversion CSS (by default, it’s RHStyleMapping.css in your RoboHelp project directory) and add the following entry at the top:
body {
font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
font-size: 8.5pt;
}
Of course, feel free to edit the properties applied or adjust their values to suit your project.
Because nearly everything in your converted file will use a specific mapping to a CSS element, the values specified will become your “base” values, overridden by the other definitions in your CSS. Only when there are no rules defined to format content will you see the <body> values applied.
