General question about the 'hcp' styles in RH

Been struggling with this "hcp" issue for days now - trying to clean up  an HTML Help project that was converted from WinHelp (.hlp).  (Conversion cleanup not for the weak of heart )  Had the problem with some portions of some topics not complying with CSS as specified in the HTML. I was troubleshooting with View Source in Notepad.

I did check my definitions in the CSS for "p.hcp1", "p.hcp2", etc.  For font-size as 10.0 pt.  I did correct the "hcp4" class. That corrected a few places, I think.

But for a bunch of topics, I had to manually add style attributes to force it, and that worked.  But it involved checking each topic and correcting HTML.

One strange thing that seemed to be a problem - In the CSS, all paragraph ("p") tags had the attribute of "background-color: #ffffff ".  And there were problems in topics where paragraphs were "<p style="background-color: #ffffff".  So the "background-color: #ffffff" was specified in both the CSS and the topic's paragraph.  I spent most of one day in clearing out those in each topic.  (Luckily this is a medium-sized help system.)  Not sure what was up with that.

So I'm hoping to remember these issues if they show up again.  Anyone figure out anything else to clue us in on how to control the properties of the "hcp"s??  Please post any ideas or your experience, as in the above posts, which were quite helpful.

(I have this delusion that somehow I should get a reward for my intense efforts here - but we tech writers know better, right?? )

Thanks for your help.

Hi David.

Can you give us an example?
