Question

Responsive HTML5 - Search Stripping Brackets () From Results

Okay, I have this weird issue using the search on a compiled responsive HTML5 doc... I'm writing techincal docs for a programming language, which means I have lines of code on the page like:


sprite_get_texture(spr_Background, 0);

 

However, using the example above, if I do a seacrh for the function sprite_get:texture, the results have the () stripped from them so it looks like this:

 

sprite_get_texture spr_Background, 0 ;

Here are is an image that illustrates the issue better:

 
 

You'll notice that it's stripping the brackets from ALL code in the page, not just the function that I'm searching.

 

I have NO idea why it's doing this, let alone how it can be fixed, so any help here would be appreciated!

    Awesome. I was going to suggest upgrading as I think there was a problem fixed in 2019 Update 9 or 10 but you might have been using RH2017 and it wouldn't have helped. 🙂

    Hello! Thank you for the quick reply! The problenm actually seems to have been resolved... After posting I saw the announcement for Robohelp 2019.014 and so I updated my version to that, rebuilt the documentaiton, and now it all works as it should (actually better as it has also resolved another issue I was having with search ignoring certain pages).
