Question

Can a topic appear twice in a browse sequence?

Hello all:

I am using RH10 and generating webhelp.

There are a few topics that occur in multiple places in the TOC and browse sequence. When I browse through the webhelp, it skips over a topic when it is encountered for the second time.

The browse sequence is set up like this:

Topic A

Topic B

Topic C

Topic A

Topic D

When I browse sequenctially through the generated webhelp, the topics are displayed like this:

Topic A

Topic B

Topic C

Topic D

It occurs in IE, Firefox and Chrome.

It seems that a topic can appear only once in a browse sequence. Is there any way to work around this and make the topic appear in two locations in a browse sequence?

Best wishes,

Juliette

Do a search on “Browse Sequence” – there’s a trick using a dummy topic and a frameset to fake it out I seem to recall…

LOL, I'm not sure I'd refer to the topic as a "Dummy" topic. I think instead I'd refer to it as a "container".

Jeff is almost there. Create the topics you wish to have. For the topics that repeat, insert an Inline Frame (not a frameset) and configure the inline frame to point to the topic that should "stand in" and be presented multiple times.

Cheers... Rick
