Documents contained within the book are converted (FM, XML, MIF, HTM, and HTML files). XHTML files that
are included in the FrameMaker book must be valid XHTML. Validate the XHTML in FrameMaker itself. All
other files in the FrameMaker book are ignored. Child books, folders, and groups in FrameMaker 9 books are
converted and appear as folders in the RoboHelp projects. See

Converted, if selected. See "Convert a FrameMaker
Text insets in the FrameMaker documents are considered part of the FrameMaker document itself and are
inserted as text in the RoboHelp topic. Once inserted, the content cannot be edited as a text inset in
FrameMaker but can only be edited as text within Robohelp.
Index and glossary files generated in the FrameMaker book are not converted. Instead, the index markers
and glossary markers in the imported FrameMaker documents are converted if selected. See
FrameMaker index entries" on page 71 and
Converted. User-defined variables in FrameMaker are converted as such in RoboHelp and can be redefined.
Apply relevant conditional text tags to suppress variables that shouldn't appear in online format. For
example, you can suppress the Table Continuation variable in table headers for tables that break across
pages in the FrameMaker documents.
Converted as RoboHelp conditional build tags. See
Convert equations to images and insert them in the RoboHelp topics after conversion.
Converted to hypertext links. You can map the cross-reference formats in RoboHelp so that you can remove
the volume, chapter, and page references that are not relevant in online format. Unresolved cross-references
and hypertext entries appear as text in online Help. URLs become live hypertext links in the online Help
output. See "Convert FrameMaker cross-reference formats to RoboHelp
Converted to an index and glossary when creating project. See
page 71 and "Import glossary definitions" on page 71.
