Question

WebHelp now displaying index and search differently

Recently our WebHelp output started to add an alphabet to the top of the index tab with bold letters for those with topics and the search tab now contains every word in every help file with links to the number of occurences that will take you to that page if you click them.  What happened?  How can I turn this off?  This happens in IE, Chrome, and Firefox.  This happens in Windows 7 and XP.  It doesn't matter which version of IE, it will occur.  It will not occur if I view it through a URL.  But to view it through a URL, I need to copy the files to the wwwroot directory on the web server if I want to see things "normally".  I have put an example of a simple project with 3 topics in it.  Below is the output.

This occurs in RoboHelp 8 and also in the trial of 11 that I just downloaded.  I could previously View Primary Layout in RoboHelp and see the "normal" version and now I get this:

I think that’s controlled in the SSL recipe you use to generate the WebHelp. Show us some screenshots of how you’re generating (& in what version)

I am just using the default WebHelp settings.  I opened a new project, added 3 topics, added them to the table of contents and index, and chose WebHelp.  I didn't change any settings.  Where is the "SSL recipe"?

Single Source Layout – it’s where you pick WebHelp and decide what gets generated & how it’s going to look
