    No the user  cannot resize the TOC in frameless outputs, at least not the ones I tried.

     

    It is possible in Responsive outputs but I wouldn't recommend it. First future template development will be for frameless outputs, secondly there is a bug in at least one of the responsive templates and finally if you use URLs for CSH, they will need to change.

    You haven't said which version of RoboHelp you are using. Please always start a thread with this information. Go to Help > About and include the full version number.

     

    Do you mean you want to change the default size when the user opens the help or can the user change the size?

     

    To change the default size you need to go into the template editor.

     

    Topic Page > Centre Panel > Container and increase the margin so that the TOC has more width to move into. Then you need to go into the Left Panel and increase the TOC width.

     

    I haven't personally made these changes in my work but that looks to be how it is done.

    Version 2022.5.28. I mean a TOC that the user can resize if they want to make it smaller or larger. I know they can hide the TOC completely. I mean being able to move the "line" between the content and the TOC.
