RH 7 project upgraded to RH 9 does not show the doctype as XHTML

I’m using Robohelp version 9.0.2.271 and I successfully upgraded a project in Robohelp 9 from Robohelp 7. However, in the source at the top of the files, the doctype shows as HTML instead of XHTML as follows:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

My co-worker who is using the same version of RH 9 upgraded this same project and her doctype shows as XHTML as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"

    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

Shouldn’t the source show XHTML when using RH 9? And, if so, shouldn’t this have automatically converted when I upgraded the project from RH 7? Is there a setting or something I need to change to show this?

I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling RH 9 several times and reconverted the project, as well, in case there was some problem with the install or the conversion, and have not had any success. I have also applied the 9.0.2 update after running the installation. Thanks for your help.

William,

Yes, that solved the problem. Thank you so much. I had no idea about that option. I kept thinking something was wrong with the install or my conversion. Thanks again.

Hi,

Try Tools > Upgrade DHTML effects in topics. Does that help?
