I am using WebWorks Publisher 4.0.11 and a customized template to
generate WinHelp 3.1. We want to use context sensitive markers. I have
added them to the relevant topics in my FrameMaker 5.5.6 files by
creating a marker called TopicAlias. This marker is automatically mapped
to TopicAlias in Publisher.
I can get the c-s markers to work in WinHelp 95, but they do not seem to
work in WinHelp 3.1.
This is the procedure we used to get c-s markers to work in the
WinHelp95 template:
2. In Style Designer, Paragraph Styles, New Topic style, change
$GET_COUNTER(topiccount); of @WRITE line to:
$GET_ATTR($PAGE;,talias);
Can anyone tell me how to configure c-s markers for WinHelp 3.1 output
from WebWorks Publisher 4.0.11? I suspect the macro for TopicAlias needs
to be completely changed, not just one line of it, as in WinHelp 95.
