Topics not generating in HTML

Yet you can see them and work with them in your project wthout error, and the WebHelp contains them when you publish to your destination for the web help. Correct?

Are they in the same project folder?
Is there anything about these topics that is different from the rest of your project?

They are not there at all.

ok, let's clarify - is it that the topics do not appear in your TOC, or is the problem that they do not appear even in a search by keyword - they just aren't there at all?

Thanks for the quick reply.

I forgot to mention I was using RH5, in case that makes a difference.

I've never used conditional build tags and I successfully generated Help files in the past. I will be getting training soon for RH7, but right now, I don't have a clue on using Conditional Build Tags.

I also have other topics that are in level 4 books that generate correctly.

If the Conditional Build Expression on the HTML job looks fine, and should include these missing topics, I would rebuild the expression. I find that once in a while a build ignores the Build Expression and either hides or displays content and topics incorrectly.

If you need more assistance, let us know which version of RoboHelp you are using, and give more detail about the problem. Thanks!

Check your topic-level conditional build tags on the 5 topics, and see if they are excluded in the Conditional Build Expression for your HTML project.
