RoboHelp HTML Version 8.0.2.208 upgrade shading & hyperlink issues

We upgraded from Robohelp X7 to X8 and opened the project.  We allowed the project to upgrade and in the project window everything looks great.  When we try Preview Topic or generate we have two issues on many of the pages.  One is the shaded text area no longer covers the topics completely.  We have too many pages that would have to be fixed.  The second issue the hyperlinks look fine until again we Preview Topic or generate.  Many of the hyperlinks changed so they come out small and red.

Has anyone had this issue from the upgrade and does anyone know how it's fixed?

Hi there

Most likely both issues will be easily resolved by simply making some changes to your CSS. If possible, post what your CSS contains so that we might see it and offer suggestions.

Cheers... Rick

Hi,

Hoping Rick won’t scorch me for interfering

The hyperlinks should be 8pt and a bit dark red. Look at all hyperlink styles (A.xxx). It adds the color definition color: #800000; and the size definition: font-size: 8pt;. Remove all this style, or replace it with the correct one.

Greet,

Willam

Willam! Sheesh... Turning on the flamethrower now....

No, actually I'm not nearly as strong on CSS as you are and it is most appreciated that you decided to chime in!

Feel free to chime in any time. We are happy to have your expertise here!

Cheers... Rick
