Question

Adding context sensitivity to a WebHelp project

Technical info:

RoboHelp 11 patch level 11.0.4.291

Windows 7 OS

I'm a bit new to context sensitivity in WebHelp. I have a reasonably large WebHelp project so I'm adding CS to it. I asked the developers to create topic IDs for the various interface pages however I'm not sure how to use what I received from them.

I was expecting something in the format:

(Web interface page) Setup... (Map ID) XYZ, (Map Number) 1234

What I'm seeing is in the format:

(Web interface page) Setup...  (URL) http://example.example.com/blah/settings.cfm?blah=1&blahh=1   (help index) 12345678

Can RoboHelp use this format and if so how? I had a look at Peter Grainge's site (thanks Peter) but I got the impression that I should be seeing either a URL or context ID (any misinterpretation of that is entirely mine).

Have you also looked at Willam van Weelden's site. He has more detailed information.

Shouldn't you create the map file in RH and then give that to the Dev to use to call your help project?  Otherwise you'll have to create the map file by hand in RH.

Not necessarily – some developers already have hooks planted in their software to call specific topics, so the flow goes Dev > help file, instead of RH > Dev.
