Question

HTML Import

When I import a topic from another project, what files will end up being imported. Is there a way to ensure that only the one file is imported (I have stripped all pictures out of the topic). I don't need the CSS file. It appears to be importing more than one document, but I cannot see what else is being imported.

I believe when you import you will get the topic, any attached CSS, and any images that are referenced by the topic.

The CSS is likely unavoidable. But it's an easy fix.

Cheers... Rick

Great. Thanks. I appreciate it. I have one more question. If an image is saved to a project folder using windows explorer and then added to a topic, will robohelp always make a copy of the image to the top level folder (causing me to have two copies of the image in my project folders)?

That shouldn't happen. Basically, what happens is that RoboHelp just adds the reference to the image. This makes sense since the folder where the topic is should be part of the RoboHelp project.

I tested my theory by opening a topic that is in a folder of a project on my drive. I then just added an image to the folder and used the Browse icon to locate and insert the image. Once it was in the topic, there was no HTML shorthand (../) preceding the image. That means RoboHelp just referenced the image properly.

Cheers... Rick
