Issues with html5 generation

I have started a small test project with 1 folder and 2 topics. It's the RH. jpg attachment. When generating I set the Browser Requirements page as the start page.

It generates without errors but gives me the generatedHTML.png attachment -- nothing in the left navigation bar and it's as if the secondary page doesn't exist. The only things that occurred correctly is that it opened to the correct page and used the chosen template.

    @Jeff_Coatsworth No no re looking at the merged project sample at this point. You need to be able to get a single project working. 🙂

     

    @LindaRuuts Both Jeff and I have asked you about your TOC. Please show us a screenshot of what you have created.

    You are confusing the start page and the default topic. The start page is what opens the output, the default topic is the one that appears along with the TOC and so on.

     

    In the Start Page enter index.htm. In Default Topic, browse to the topic that you want to appear first.

      Hi Peter,

       

      I'm a little confused as my Start Page was already set to index.htm and the Default Topic is set to Get-Started/Browser requirements. Just don't understand why I'm not getting a Table of Contents or seeing any subpages in the output.
