Editing whtdhtml.htm

Question

I've been making a number of post-process changes to my
WebHelp Pro output using the advice in Rick Stone's "Skinny on
Skins". One of the changes I want to make is to add some padding
down the left and across the top of the TOC pane. So, I edited the
whtdhtml.htm file to look like this:

When I launch my Help system locally it works a treat, but
when I publish it to the server the changes aren't there, even
though when I open whtdhtml.htm my changes are still included.

Can anyone help me with this or suggest another way of adding
padding. Also, does anyone know how to centre the TOC entries
vertically against the book and page icons so that they appear
exactly in the middle?

Thanks

26 seems a bit heavy; 6pt for both left and top works nicely for me.

As to the vertical alignment, you'd accomplish this by adjusting some blank lines in the icons (maintaining, of course, the transparency). To simply add a little space between each book/topic title, you might also try another of Rick's hints on adjusting the var gsMargin= value in the whthost.js file (I'm using 2pt for this setting). This file also needs to be saved externally, for overwriting the one created in each Generate process.

Good luck,
Leon
