RH10 and setting the start page does not work

Hi,

I have trouble with setting the start page for a WebHelp project. In the options for the WebHelp I can set the output directory but RH ignores my setting for the start page. What RH does, is creating a directory with the name of the .htm I provided. Maybe I'm forgetting something.

My input looks like this:

C:\tmp\rb\name.htm

RH creates the WebHelp like this

C:\tmp\rb\name.htm\Project_Title.htm

I've read the manual about this and I'm still clueless, why RH does not recognize my start page entry.

Any ideas?

The name of the start page is defined in the first page of the layout. In new projects it defaults to index.htm but you can change it to whatever you want. Projects in older versions of Rh used the Project Title by default but again you can change it in the layout configuration.

Don't confuse the start page title with the default topic. The first is the tripane page that opens and the latter is the topic displayed in the main frame.

Thanks for your answer.

To clarify my problem: I am at the first page of the layout configuration and there is the "Output Folder And Start Page" option. Like you said, RH defaults to creating the project title as start page (something like "MyProjectTitle.htm").

Now when I try to change this by entering something like "NewTitle.htm" (with the directories included, of course), RH does not create a NewTitle.htm. It does create the following:

C:\tmp\NewTitle.htm\MyProjectTitle.htm

I am wondering, why RH does not change the MyProjectTitle.htm to NewTitle.htm and instead creats NewTitle.htm as a directory.

Are you using a WebHelp layout or a WebHelp Pro layout?
