To keep page numbers from appearing in the output, you can use the following technique:
1. On the TOC Reference page of your FrameMaker TOC file (or the equivalent Reference page for any other generated-list file):
1.1. Define a character format (for example, TOCpgnum) set to all As is, and add it to the character catalog.
1.2. Apply the character format to all <$pagenum> elements and to their preceding spaces or tabs.
2. Save the TOC or generated-list file.
4. Check the resulting Body pages of the generated file. When you hold down Ctrl+Alt and mouse over the contents, you should see that the text of each entry is a link, but the page number is not.

The resulting HTML file will not have page numbers.
