When I am trying to generate, it gets stuck on the "Merging HTML files" status as shown below, it doesn't finish. Is there anything I am missing?

    This question has nothing to do with your other post. Please don't tack unrelated questions onto a post.

     

    There is something in a topic that the process is sticking on.

     

    In the new UI the output is controlled by what is in the TOC so create two copies of your TOC and delete different halves. One should work and one should fail. 

     

    Assuming one half only failed, create a copy of it and again delete different halves. By repeating that you should narrow things down to the topic(s) that are giving grief.

     

    If both failed, you need to create smaller and smaller sections.
