Question

Is it possible to display both "Author mode" and "Source mode" at the same time?

Hello, 

 

Brand new to RoboHelp, have used many similar tools over the years. One thing I'd love to get set up is to have a "split screen" with the WYSWYG authoring mode on the top, and the XML source code displayed below. As it works currently in my installation, I can only toggle between the two modes, I cannot have them both active simultaneously. With other tools I've used, I would regularly edit in both, and would like to be able to do the same in RoboHelp.

 

Any way to do this?

    Sorry but it is not an option. I completely understand how useful it would be and have asked for this more than once. I will ask my contacts again. You can help by logging a feature request.

    Thanks for your reply, Peter. I've submitted a feature request (https://tracker.adobe.com/#/view/RH-12524). 

     

    I've also been perusing your web site (in fact, I found it while searching for this issue). It looks very helpful, I've bookmarked it and suspect I'll be consulting it further.
