Question

how to replace missing bookmarks

I'm using RH 8 html. I have a great number of missing bookmarks. I found out about them when I saw a x through the topics in my table of contents.

I've been fixing them by hand by finding the missing bookmark in my topics pod. Is there a more expedient way to do this rather than tediously by hand? I'm not very familiar with creating scripts yet, so I'm looking for another answer.

Not really. I'm guessing that these bookmarks are all different? If you have access to a find and replace tool (like FAR HTML) you could readd them that way but it would mean separate finds and replaces would need to be done. In this instance it may be easier to carry on the way you are doing it. Would it may be easier to find out why the bookmarks are missing and roll back to that version?

Hi,

Unfortunately, the scripting interface can not access missing links. The only way to do this via scripting would be to check alle the links in your TOC/topics and search whether the target of the link exists. But even if you find links to pages/bookmarks that do not exist, what should the script do? Remove the link? Add a bookmark? Not so easy as it sounds I'm afraid.

Greet,

Willam

hi Willam,

actually the bookmarks are in the project files; they were dropped from the table of contents. maybe I could just edit or create a new tofc?
