Is it possible to use a custom Template for Responsive HTML5 Output in Robohelp 2022? Our company has created a custom "Indigo" file that would be copied into our project folder when using Classic 2019 and it overrides the default Indigo colors, styles, etc. Is this possible to do in 2022 as well so we do not have to edit Indigo manually each time we begin a new project? 

Hello Everyone,Greetings for the day!I'm using RoboHelp 2022.5.28 with a Responsive HTML5 output.I've created a custom "Next" and "Previous" button using the Custom Buttons option under Output > Templates > Azure Blue > Custom Buttons.I tried using RH_ShowNext(); and RH_ShowPrevious(); in the OnClick actions, but these functions are throwing not defined errors in the browser console.It seems the internal JavaScript functions for TOC-based navigation are no longer available or included in the output layout.

Hello Community, Greetings for the day!I am facing a problem with Breadcrumbs and need your help. Please have a look and suggest the best. Thanks a lot in advance for your support!----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------We have a single topic Scheduled Monitoring Tasks created under the Project folder as follows: This topic needs to appear in two ToC locations — under ABR and RTMP folders as highlighted below:I inserted the same topic in both locations using Insert > Topic. However, in the output, both show breadcrumbs under RTMP, regardless of the selected path.Expected Output:If accessed via ABR, breadcrumbs should reflect the ABR path.If accessed via RTMP, breadcrumbs should reflect the RTMP path. Please advise on how to achieve this. Thank you!

Using RH2020 w/ .chm file. New topic doesn't display after being mapped. I added new fields to three projects. Two worked correctly and the third does not even though it was set up the same as the other two projects.  I don't get an error message. The topic from the previous field continues to display and not the desired content from the new topic.  What do we need to do to get that content to correctly display in the right field?

Hi, I am facing an issue in RoboHelp 2022.3.93. The help subtopics in the left navigation do not link to their corresponding topics when right-clicked and opened in a new browser tab. Instead, the main topic is displayed in the new browser tab. Thanks,Anand  

Hi All, Do we have Print Layout View in the UI editor of RoboHelp 2022? I could not find it. I generate the PDF output every time and view it to confirm the layout.

I've created a Topic Layout which to my understanding you can apply to all topics.  I've formatted the header and footer as well as the background.  When I apply this to each topic all appears fine as I edit and create topics; however, when I select the preview option it will reference back to the actual topic layout page and not show me the topic itself.  I've selected the topic layout in output and made sure that it is selected in both topics but why can't I see the actual topics?  This is my first interaction with Robohelp 2022 and it is a new project. I've attached images below showing the edit screen of the topic showing the content that should be there (image (1) vs the topic layout (image) that should not be diplaying when trying to preview this topic.    

Hi,I've updated to the latest version of RH2022 (v6) and I'm testing to see if everything works correctly.I'm having a problem with the CHM output: the topic content doesn't appear and the message “Script error” appears instead and every time I select a topic.When I click on “yes” or “no”, the content reappears. Has anyone encountered this issue before?Thanks

I have a few pages in my PDF output with large tables that ideally would be in landscape, while the rest of the content, including the covers and toc page would remain in portrait. Is this achievable? I have searched high and low in the settings and can't see to find a place where I'd assign a topic to a page in a template.

I received this from one of my FrameMaker clients, and I am not sure how to answer it:   Also, I apologize if this is a repeat question…do you know anything about RoboHelp? I heard somewhere that it could replace FrameMaker. Is that true?

Hi All, I am using the RoboHelp 2022.3.93 version. After transitioning from CHM help output to Frameless output, the mouseover help that was working in CHM appears as a link in Frameless but does not work as expected.  Also, could I get a list of reports related to these mouseovers to help identify and resolve them? Can someone please reply to this post. Thanks,Anand  

I'm considering moving our solution from MadCap Flare to RoboHelp due to frustration with bugs in Flare and the lack of any meaningful development for years. I've managed to get relatively up to speed with RoboHelp pretty quickly and it seems like it could work, with a few notable differences that I can work around. One issue I can't solve however, is PDF output "works" but RoboHelp gets stuck on "Applying PDF settings" that doesn't disappear unless I restart the application. It does generate the output properly, but this is a bit frustrating. Does anyone have experience with this happening? Thanks!

Robohelp Version 2022.6.34 | WordCount (baseline script)I need to generate a word count of our Robohelp projects for translation cost estimates and thought I'd try the WordCount script. When I tried to use it, however, I was greeted with a few errors.When I double-click to execute the script, I get "Script Execution error withStyles is not a function",then when I open in edit mode there are the following warnings/errors:Line 19: ['MaterialUI'] is better written in dot notation.Line 86: Unclosed regular expression. Unrecoverable syntax error . (47% scanned)This is using the built-in WordCount script. I have not edited it in any way. I tried creating a new blank project and get the same with that version of the WordCount. I also tried running output with it as a post-generation script anyway and it failed to generate.  If anyone has experience with these scripts, any tips would be greatly appreciated!Thanks, JS of the WordCount: const _ = require('lodash')const f

Hi,I have connected Azure DevOps without error to my project on another device (using the second activation license). The connection configuration is identical to the one defined on my first device. When I click on check in, the dialog box is empty and there are no files to archive. I have to use TFS to check in and get latest.I'm using the latest version RH 2022 v6 on two devices, not at the same time.Does anyone know what the problem is?Thanks

I'm using Robohelp 2017. I have the output of a sample that has an accordion or tabbed interactive on the page. When you touch a bar on the page, it expands and yuo can see additional text. When you touch another one, the previous bar closes and the new one expands. I don't know how else to explain this but I'm trying to figure out how to do this. I don't have the source files. Is this a widget or some feature in Robohelp that I can insert on my pages. I am trying to create a procedure manual and I like this design. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi, I have an enterprise-level PaaS tool documentation project. It has more than 6000 topics. What steps must I take to enhance output search and rank the topics of customers' interest higher to provide a better customer experience?

In generated output I enter ELEMENT as my search term and, as well as sensible suggestions being presented (such as ELEMENTS and ELEMENT'S) I get some rather bizarre suggestions, such as  ELMENTADD.Worried that I had let a few typos into the content I selected ELMENTADD and was offered five hits. But when I searched through these five documents I couldn't find any instance of ELMENTADD.I then went back to the corresponding RH documents and searched for ELMENTADD in both the content and the source code … but still no hits. Where is RH picking up its predictuve search text from and is it something we can somehow control?Geoffrey

Hi All, I am using RoboHelp 2022.3.93. Can I check my product help manuals for broken links when my help pages exceed 1500 pages?Because I don't see my RoboHelp debugger being effectively working in checking for broken links.Can someone please reply to this post? Thanks,Anand

I'm using RoboHelp 2022.5.28 fo rmy help system, and I have a problem with the fonts in my output header and TOC. Here is a screen shot: The fonts in the topic content are correct, and they are Roboto. In the TOC and header, though, it's Times Roman. This happens when the help is embedded in the application. If I double-click on the index.html file and open it in a browser, the fonts are fine. I believe there are extra carriage returns in one of the files that causes this (maybe?). Has anyone see this before? Thank you!Cindy 

Iam trying to convert my Robohelp Classic 2019 projects to Robohelp 2022 but they do not seem to be converting over correctly. The style sheets and master pages I use in classic are .htt and .css files. Is it possible to convert these without losing the Topic Layouts and Stylesheets?  Also, are these style sheets and topic layout files able to be used for new projects in RH2022 if imported correctly or do they need to be coded differently for HTML5 output?

I have been creating CHMs using RH 2020 for several years now. All of a sudden, the help file won't open within the application. We recently upgraded to Windows 11. Is there some compatibility issue with Win 11 all of a sudden?

HiI'm trying to style text that triggers popups differently to text that triggers links (a dotted underline rather than the standard solid underline). The RH styles UI doesn't appear to give this option, so I've tried adding the following to the code:<a href="myfile.htm"><span style="text-decoration-style: dotted;">Users</span></a>Alas, the <a> style unexpectedly overrides the embedded <span> and the underline remains as a solid line.Have I flubbed the coding ? Is this a deficiency in RH? Are there other tricks you can share?TIAGeoffrey

Hi, I am facing a couple of issues in Robohelp 2022.3.93. Right-clicking on a sub-topic in the right panel doesn't take me to the relevant sub-topic; instead, it lands me on the main topic page. When right-clicking on a subtopic and opening a new tab, it doesn't land on a sub-topic. It goes to the topic mid and not precisely to the topic header, so I have to scroll up.Can someone please respond?Thanks,Anand
