Best file organization for output to PDF and HTML5?


hi, all.

 

i want opinion on strategy intend adopt unless tells me better way!

 

i imported ~150 .html files framemaker, , tidied them up, become basis of future single-sourced pdfs , html5 systems. find hard scroll through 150 .fm files in .bk file find individual topic need, , can't think of reason keep .fm files separate.

 

therefore, going consolidate .fm files in large chapter files and, ultimately, create traditional framemaker book file produce traditional pdf. then:

 

1.  i'll generate pdfs in usual way.

 

2.  in order create html5 help, use settings option split each .fm topics @ h1 , h2 levels, , suppress chapter title sections (since contain book-metaphor connective material).

 

would of use different strategy? if so, selling points? keep ~150 separate .fm files reason?

 

thanks.

in recent position, found effective structure 5 files (plus .book file):
front (cover, unique master pages)

toc (generated)

body (all chapters)

ix (generated)

back (cover, unique master pages)

 

having lots of chapter files slowed down both authoring , maintenance. fm designed responsive in working large monolithic files on slow ram-constrained computers. still is. wouldn't use multitude of chapter files unless there compelling reason (and can arise).
