Questions

Hi everyone,I'm here again, I would like to understand the behaviour of the collaborate Functionality using sharepoint.I have a RH 2022.5.28 Version and I have created a connection between my RH project and a folder in my sharepoint.Let me explain my request: let's say I want to edit a shared project in sharepoint, but first I want to find out if others have made changes, How do I find them? Is there perhaps a way similar to the track changes of word? Could you help me?Thanks in advance! 

We use Adobe RoboHelp 2020, and I recently updated and redeployed the Helpfile (.chm), including changes to the ToC, various content page changes, and an update to the MAP IDs for context sensitive help. The new file content and context sensitive mapping works correctly, the ToC reflects the new pages etc, however, when a user opens a help file page either via a context sensitive link, or via the Index or Search tabs in the help file left hand pane, the ToC context does not update to match the page in context. In other words, when I open a page and the content appears in the main window, the Contents tab on the left panel does not open the folder that the page is located in and highlight the page. This has worked every time up until now.  Any ideas?Thank you so much! 

Hi, Some of our application pages are not required to be appeared in ToC , but they must be available in Contents.However, while generating the files the pages that are available only in ToC are generating. The files in the Contents which are not in ToC are not vavailable in Output. This issue we have faced while we have upgraded the RoboHelp 2017 to 2022. so, what can we do to avail the aforementined pages in the Output? Thanks,Amrutha V. Nair 

Hi,My general workflow for the last few years has been to import my Word docs into RH 2019 and then upgrade the project in RH 2022 and create my outputs (I do this because RH 2022 doesn't support import of word's TOC, which is ridiculous, but that's another story). I recently changed computers, and now when I use that same workflow and try outputting a CHM in either 2019 or 2022, the links do not work. Any suggestions for what could be causing this problem or possible workarounds? The links work fine from within RH as well as when outputting to webhelp or frameless formats. TIA for any help.

I have this problem where I cannot import the translated files from my translation vendor back into the project.I dont know if this is important but they did not give me a mapper file back in the translation so I just put the original mapper file (that I sent them) in the translated folder. Could that be the problem?Is there something I am missing? It would be very nice if someone could help me here. 

Hi All, I’m working with a tool that has trouble with fragment identifiers (#) in URLs and JavaScript-rendered content. Could you advise if it’s possible to export my RoboHelp project as static HTML files, ensuring each topic has its own unique static URL rather than relying on fragment identifiers? This would help my AI chatbot properly train on the full content. Thanks in advance,RC

Hi,We tried to upgrade one project from Robo Help 2017 to Robo Help 2022, but the 'frameless' option is not availble.Is that option available on upgrading projects to Robo Help 2022?  Could you please advise on this issue? Thank you,Amrutha V Nair

Using RH 2022.3.93When I generate a PDF from RH, there's no Index within the Table of Contents.I would like this to show up in the TOC:Chapter 1. IntroductionChapter 2. CustomizationChapter 3. UsingIndexIndex does show up in the manual, but just not within the Table of Contents.How do I get it to show up?  

Certain words that are marked as Code style in other text, keep changing size in my Headers. Its driving me crazy. I go back and clear formatting/clear inline formatting for that word, but it always returns to the smaller font.  And it not just the word rmp. this is happening with a lot of words/code. Can anyone help? 

I used build our help with a Responsive HTML preset that used the Azure Blue template for the layout. I recently changed to a frameless preset that uses the Top Navigation template for the layout. Since I've made the change, there have been issues when the help is deployed. The intro page will not display the top navigation. After about a half-hour, the page will refresh and the navigation will display. We've trying putting code into the pages to force them to refresh, but it doesn't work. The issue seems to be with the skin template.  These are the errors we're seeing in the console. topicpage.js:1 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'split')at e.value (topicpage.js:1:68122)at e.value (topicpage.js:1:67497)at topicpage.js:1:67096at e.exports (topicpage.js:51:38605)at e.exports [as map] (topicpage.js:51:115139)at e.value (topicpage.js:1:67068)at usersettings.js:33:9at usersettings.js:62:3 intro.htm:1 Refused to apply style from

The title of my cover page and the title of the Table of Contents show up in my table of contents in Robohelp.  Is there a way to make them not show up? I've been trying to change their headers from h1 to something else, but it won't let me change their header style.

Hi. I included a couple of png graphics which appear in the preview of my Robohelp file, but when I run the actual index.htm I am seeing instead an icon for the image in lieu of the image, i.e.,.  The png file appear to be in the correct folder (I can see it in the previewed Robohelp). How can I get the png file(s) to display in the updated Robohelp generated file?  Let me know if I need to clarify this issue. Thanks in advance! 

Just updated to version 5 (2022.5.28) - but can't seem to find release notes anywhere (neglected to check them before update). Can anyone point to them? They don't appear to be on the Adobe site.  

Hi All, I am waiting for the client to provide me with the latest copy of RH; in the meantime, I am devouring posts and videos  😉  I have previously used 2019 new UI. A couple of questions regarding translation as the RH project has to be bi-lingual, English and Canadian French.How does machine translation work exactly? Do I sign up for an account with the provider?The client has strict network security and may frown upon opening up a connection to an external provider, the machine translation service.When I generate a "translation", is it stored in the directory of the project?Can I used conditional formatting so a user can select their language using a filter when viewing the project?Would you recommand this approach, or do I have to publish two separate projects, one for each language?Can MS Word be used to translate XLIFF files? Word can automatically translate files, but does it also have the ability to translate XLIFF? Any suggestions on incorpora

Hello community! I’m using RH2022 with Frameless, Studio template - six child projects merged into one parent, publishing to IIS server. These child projects are upgraded from RH 2019 classic. (Hyperlinks, TOC, glossary, expand all are working fine). The search results are not displaying. The search indicates that results are found, but does not list the results.   FYI search worked previously. However, the results stopped displaying after creating new condition tags and applying them to the topics… When we upgraded 2019 projects the previously created CBTs were visible in the source topics but not in the Condition Tags pane. I created new condition tags; the search failed after applying the new condition tags. How can we see our search results and successfully filter?  Thanks for any help.

Using Robohelp Version 2022.4.179. Ordered lists are formatted and shown correctly in Preview but randomly "restart" in Frameless Output. The HTML is correctly formatted hence wotking fine in the all page Previews.

I use RH 2022. After the most recent upgrade to version 2022.4.179, my responsive HTML output automatically removes all line breaks from the content. So, all the white space I used in the content to increase readability disappears, and everything is just scrunched up. Adobe responded by saying it's a bug in 2022.4 and suggesting I use the   element as a workaround. However, it only temporarily changes the output and automatically gets deleted whenever I close and reopen the topic. Does anyone have any suggestions until Adobe resolves this issue? Also, this happens to all output formats - PDF, Word, Frameless, etc.

I have some help topics where I've set up what I call breadcrumbs, but they're not what RH calls breadcrumbs... One reader thinks the placement of the trail below the title is confusing, and I agree. Is there an easy-ish way to provide this kind of trail above the header in a help topic? Since the title is inserted when you compile the project - I'm creating Responsive HTML5 - I think I have to manually move the trail after I compile. Is there an easier way? I'm running RH 2022.4.179. Cindy 

Using Responsive HTML using Indigo skin, the breadcrumbs at the top is hiding the print button. How do you shorten or hide the breadcrumbs? How do you widen the pane on the right to display more information?

Ive got Robohelp 2022.4.179 and got problems with search. I have looked in the other topics but havent really figured it out what to do.Search isnt working at all when I create the microsoft html help of my projects. I tried to create a WebHelp to se if it would be any difference and there it works. So I dont understand what the difference is, and why it doesnt work in the chm file. Have you got any suggestions what to look for?  

Hello all,  I'm trying to duplicate a Robohelp project (last saved in 2022.4 179, but it may have been created on a previous version). This project is structured this way:  /Robohelp-project-2023 /EN /Robohelp-project-2023-EN.rhpj /FR /Robohelp-project-2023-FR.rhpj  After reading this topic, I copied/pasted the folder /Robohelp-project-2023 via the Windows explorer.I then opened the French version in /Robohelp-project-2023-Copy/FR/Robohelp-project-2023-FR.rhpj, and modified the project name to Robohelp-project-2024-FR in the project parameters. Until that point, everything is OK.  Then, I tried to rename the root folder /Robohelp-project-2023-Copy to /Robohelp-project-2024. From this point, if I open the project /Robohelp-project-2024/FR/Robohelp-project-2024-FR.rhpj, I either get an empty project (and RH seems to be lagging, as if it was comuting somethin), or a screen with the recent project files.  Am I mis
