Publishing webhelp for offline (filesystem) use
Hi All -
What would you suggest is current best-practice for providing searchable/browsable RoboHelp output for use offline?
We currently generate Responsive HTML output from RoboHelp for the help/reference system for our products.
This is generally dumped onto the local filesystem when a customer installs the product, and they then use a web-browser to access it. Typically, this would be on a maritime vessel with no internet access.
For years this has worked satisfactorily, but more recently we have been encountering problems which are preventing the help from working correctly. Specifcally, most of these issues seem to be linked to browsers blocking cross-origin requests (see attached image). This manifests itself as menu links not working, searches returning zero results, and books failing to display linked topics.
The output all works fine when served over http, but we need it to be accessible locally from the filesystem.
We are running RoboHelp Classic 2019 (update 14) and most of our target platforms are Linux (some Windows).
Many thanks in advance for your advice and opinions!
