Table of Contents dropping items in Responsive HTML5 output

I just noticed that one of the Table of Contents sub-folders in our Online Help project does not display any items when output to Responsive HTML5. The topics are all there in the project, and when I output to Webhelp, I still see the topics in the TOC. The sub-folder has approximately 75 topics. My initial suspicion was that a Conditional Build Tag was preventing the topics from showing, but I looked at the tags and I don't see any reason for that to be the case. Does Responsive HTML5 have a TOC folder limit? Anyone have any idea about what's going on here?

We have tried to reproduce the issue on various projects with very large TOCs but this bug is not reproducible at our end.
We have made many fixes related to Responsive HTML5 in latest RH 12.0.2 patch.
Please upgrade to the latest Patch.
Kindly revert if the issue is still not resolved in the latest patch.


Thanks and Regards,

Perhaps you have more than one TOC and you are pointing to the one you aren't intending?

I actually have 3 TOCs but that isn't the problem. I tried making a copy of the sub-folder and deleting about 30 items and they displayed fine, so I'm thinking that Responsive HTML5 can't handle that many items in a folder. I ran into a problem recently where I found that the Index will crash Responsive HTML5 projects if it gets too big. I'm starting to worry about how limited Responsive HTML5 is.

I use Responsive HTML5 for projects with over 2500 topics. Do your topics or folders use any special characters or uncommon filenames (with spaces and the like)?

I did see this problem occuring in one oI fixed it by better applying CBT's to the TOC. I forgot the exact issue, but it had to do with CBT's when using merged TOC's. Can you try to create an output without applying any CBT's or filters in the output?
