Question

Defining a style that has a graphic bullet

I'm having trouble in RH8 (WebHelp primary layout) trying to apply a style I defined in RH5 .css that uses a graphic for a bullet.

Maybe I cannot divine the flexibility behind the style dialog for bullets in RH8, which somewhat convoluted and rigid.

Any RH WebHelp users have suggestions for applying a graphic (such as a pencil) for a Note style, or (a question mark for) a question style?  Or a tomato for a bulleted list style?

I've attached the RH X5 .css, but using this in RH8, the bullets, numbering, and hanging indent seem to have acquired an inaccessible life of their own.

    PS, I also added the graphic files for the bulleted items to the project folder.

    Hi there

    Adding to the folder in what manner? If you meant that you copied the file manually using Windows Explorer, that may not be sufficient.

    In RoboHelp you may add things to a folder called "Baggage". But that folder may not show up depending on your Pod Settings (RoboHelp 7 or 8 here)

    Click the Folder icon to change the view and reveal the Baggage folder.

    Cheers... Rick

    I used the suggestion, but there is no baggage folder. Previous version of RH (5), the image files (in the project folder structure) were in the root directory (using an Explorer window), but showed up in the Images folder in RH.

    RH8 doesn't have an option for importing image files (.jpg or .gif extensions)...the import dialog only allows HTM type files.
