Hello all,

I'm using RoboHelp 8 / RH8 to create WebHelp.

How / where do I set the width of the Table of Contents pane for the webhelp output? I can't find this in the forum or the Help Guide...

These days, with high resolution monitors, I need to increase the font size in the ToC. But then it runs out of space in the ToC width. Hence the need for a wider ToC.

Help anyone?

Hi Philip

Sorry, but RoboHelp has never provided a GUI way to do this. Not for WebHelp. If you were using CHM, it would be a piece of cake.

What you will have too do is hack the output files. I believe I've documented how in my Skinny on Skins file.

Cheers... Rick

Hi Philip,

There is no way we can change that within Robohelp however after generating the output we can make very small change in "whskin_frmset01.htm" change the value "frameset cols". It will change the Navigation Pane width. But everytime you will generate teh webhelp it will reset the settings, so you need to make these changes again and agian.

Hope this helps

Thanks

Thanks Rick and Priyank.

Great... It is s-o-o EASY to do this for CHM Help, but not-invented-yet for WebHelp.

I guess the client will have to live with it, 'cause I can't rely on remembering to do this every time I build the output.

Priyank, put this on the wish list, would you?

Thanks again Guys.
