Question

Can I publish or generate HTML 5 without creating TOC

Hello,

I have created a project which will be used only to call F1 windows. that means the help will pop up only when '?' is clicked on the particular window. So we don't need TOC for navigation. Using RH 2022, I added a folder, and all the .htm files are within this folder. Now, when I compile the project with a blank TOC, then this folder is blank. Also, I have indexed all the topics within this folder.

 

But, only when I add these topics to the TOC these files appear in the folder after compiling.

 

Please suggest how will these files appear without adding them to the TOC?

    I wonder what happens if you select "Hide in Output" for all the topics in the toc? Would that ensure there's no toc panel or just result in a blank toc panel?

    I am wondering if there might be a way of hiding the TOC in the skin editor. I will have a look but not today. Poke around there for a Display option maybe?

    Your output will only contain the files in the TOC so you cannot generate without a TOC. See RH2022 The Table of Contents (grainge.org)

     

    If you are using Map IDs you can call topics so that only the topic appears. See RH2022 Calling Context Sensitive Help (grainge.org)  However there will be a link to open the TOC. You can change the default text so perhaps you could just add a full stop/period.

     

    How you set up your help is your call but I have seen systems like that and they annoy the hell out of me. Often browsing around help without that restriction I have found the answer in another topic or learned something else I was curious about.
