Hello,

when I neste topics in the map and create a book from the map the topics on the second level/layer/section are not in the book. Sometimes I get the error that FramMaker cannot find the files and somtimes I get no error. When I put the topics from the second to the first level/layer/section, they are in the book. I neste the topics in the structure tree/window.

With kind regards
Nina

Hi Nina...

You're saying that if you use topicrefs in a map, like this ..

[map]
[topicref href="file1.xml"]
[topicref href="file2.xml"][/topicref]
[topicref href="file3.xml"][/topicref]
[topicref href="file4.xml"][/topicref]
[/topicref]
[/map]

When you build a book from this map only the file1 file will be in the resulting book components (FM files)? If you open the file1 FM file, do you see the content from the other files in that file?

The way the map to book conversion works is that FM files are created from the top-level topicrefs (those that are immediate children of the map), and any child topicrefs to the top-level topicrefs become part of the FM files, nested appropriately.
