Question

HTML Export: How include CSS Styles and images in each output file

Hi, 

Is there a way to get a complete html file out of robohelp, which includes even the styles?
Because we need the output to implement it into another system (Atlassian Confluence), but the css styles and the pictures are not included there.

References are not possible unfortunately.

    If they want one html file in total, then I don't think that has ever been an option in Robohelp.

     

    If they want inline css, then I was hoping that would be possible by generating one of the knowledge base outputs, but it looks like the css is converted to inline as part of the publish process rather than the generation process. So that isn't an option as publish is specific to the service, and Confluence isn't one of the supported tools.

     

    So the only option I can think of is generating to Word and then saving as html. I can't remember if there's an option to embed styles or if a css is always produced, or whether it creates some sort of folder structure.

    I think what is wanted is a single file that looks the same as it does when part of the output. As the file is referencing the CSS and images rather than having them embedded, when put elsewhere the target of those references is not available.

     

    Does that prompt any solutions?

    Which version of RoboHelp are you using? The available outputs are different depending on your version. Please include the update number as well. You can find this information under File>Help or Help > About Robohelp depending on your version.

     

    Also, what do you mean by "a complete html file"? Do you mean a single html file for the entire project? Or something else?
