Question

Search problem in webhelp

Hi,

I am using robo help to generate a webhelp. There are some XML tags which i am using in some pages.

Example:

My page name is CustomControl.htm which contains some XML text as shown below:

<MyControl>

<MyControl.CustomControl>

<CustomControl Text="MyText"/>

</MyControl.CustomControl>

</Mycontrol>

After compiling, while viewing the webhelp if i traverse through the page CustomControl.html, it opens properly and shows exact contents.

But my problem is while using the search feature of webhelp. If i search "CustomControl.htm" page from Search tab in ToolBar, it shows incorrect contents of the page:

Example:

<MyControl>

<MyControl.CustomControl>

Text="MyText"/>

</MyControl.CustomControl>

</Mycontrol>

As shown in this example, it is showing only Text="MyText"> in third line. Instead it should show <CustomControl Text="MyText"/>.

I don't know why it is showing incorrect contents if i use Search feature in webhelp.

Note that: This happens if i use some XML tags as shown above. With normal text it shows correctly.

Can anybody help me out as soon as possible. I am using Robohelp 7.01.001.

    Hi there

    Perhaps edit the HTML code of the topic and surround the block with PRE tags?

    It would look something like this:

    <PRE><p>&lt;MyControl&gt;</p>
    <p>&lt;MyControl.CustomControl&gt;</p>
    <p>&lt;CustomControl Text=&quot;MyText&quot;/&gt;</p>
    <p>&lt;/MyControl.CustomControl&gt;</p>
    <p>&lt;/Mycontrol&gt;</p></PRE>

    (The text above was copied from the forum post, then pasted into RoboHelp 7 so that it would hopefully look identical to what you would see in HTML view.)

    Cheers... Rick

    Hi Rick,

    Thanks for your quick reply.

    Even after putting the XML inside the <pre></pre> tags, it is not showing correctly. The question is why it is displaying properly if i traverse through that page but why not if i go from search tab. This problem happens only while using search tab in ToolBar.
