An ">" symbol at the top of each JavaHelp page?

Hello all,

I have generated JavaHelp off an imported Word 2007 document on a Windows 7 box. Interestingly, an unsightly ">" (the greater than sign) is appearing at beginning of each help page when ported to my Fedora 13/Linux box. The preview of the JavaHelp on the Windows 7 machine (where I generated the JavaHelp) does not show this ">" at the top of each help page.

Any idea why the unexpected ">" is showing up at the top of each help page on Fedora/Linux box?

Thanks.

I had a similar issue where the ">" sign was showing up at the beginning of each page in JavaHelp. The fix was to delete everything out of the directory I was compiling to (or compile the jar file to a new, empty folder).

mrtsai,

Thanks very much for your help, but unfortunately it did not solve the problem. I generated everything to a brand new folder, but sill an ">" shows up at the begining of each JavaHelp page. As I said before, this does not happen on the Windows 7 system where I generate the JavaHelp, but it happens when I port the help to my Fedora/Linux box.

Are you using the same version of Java and JavaHelp on the Linux box that you are on the Windows box? I still haven't figured out how to determine which version RoboHelp uses. These are the steps I took to solve it:

1. Installed Java version 6 (latest version)

2. Installed JavaHelp 2.0

3. Reinstalled RoboHelp so upon generating JavaHelp it would prompt me to point to the Java and JavaHelp versions I wanted to use for the compile.

4. Compiled to a new/clean folder.

After searching the web, this '>' at the beginning of each JavaHelp topic (.htm files) might be an encoding issue. RH9 is generating UTF-8 encoding and my Fedora/Linux box has LANG=en_US.UTF-8 setting. They seem to be the same, but who knows!

Thanks for any further hints.
