Question

Alter or remove the Breadcrumb meta tag

How can I edit the meta tag that gets inserted when generating the HTML5 responsive layout (see below)?  I need to get that unescaped > out of there because it has negative effects on linked programs, but can't find where to edit this setting in RoboHelp.  I don't have breadcrumbs on the page and I don't see any option to disable breadcrumbs in the HTML5 layout.

< meta name="topic-breadcrumbs" content="Administration > Customer Management" / >

I found a SSBreadCrumbSeperator element in the HTML5 ssl file, but changing this did nothing to change the output, it still has the unescaped > character in it.

I'm using Robohelp 2015 (12.0.3.428).

So nobody else has seen this behavior or knows how to manage the breadcrumbs that the HTML5 layout seems to include with no user input?

Well, first I'd suggest Rick moving this thread over to the HTML5 Layouts forum & second, I suggest you PM Willam van Weelden to see if he knows what you're talking about.

You'll want to access the breadcrumbs at the topic (or master page) level. To edit the format, just double-click on the breadcrumb element. Or you could select the element and just delete it.

To insert a breadcrumb element, right-click in the topic/master page, and select Insert Placeholder > Breadcrumbs.

HTH,

I don't have breadcrumbs on the page

There are no breadcrumbs anywhere on any of the pages (including the master page).  I assume that the HTML5 layout is inserting this tag on the pages in order to show breadcrumbs in the search results (but again, no option is shown in the HTML5 layout to control this behavior).

Sounds like a task that Willam needs to advise on.
