Good afternoon.
In search of single-source solutions - - I'm attempting to create a training
manual template in frame 5.5.6 that easily converts to an Intranet page(s),
using the Save as HTML feature.
In Frame, my numbered step series' are interupted by body text, bulleted
lists and the like, only to successfully resume in sequence.
In HTML, however, the numbered steps and bullets get "independant." They
have their own opinion about how to behave.
In Frame utilities, I've mapped my N1 and N+ paragraph tags to HTML "List
Item" and "List Item continued" respectively. Logic dictates this should
work. However, in HTML, the steps re-number after every paragraph-format
interuption in Frame.
I've listed an example of how things look at the bottom of this e-mail. Any
suggestions and input are most appreciated.
