Question

Why does RH 8 WebHelp generate the entire help file project?

Hello all,

RoboHelp HTML 8: version 8.0.2.208

Single Source Layouts: WebHelp

OS: Win 7 Enterprise

Why does RH 8 WebHelp generate my entire help file project rather what I specified in WebHelp General (property settings). I have a specified a TOC and Index, I do not want the 'other' content.

Note: No Merged Projects was performed.

Please follow below to get a better/visual perspective.

In reference to figure 1 below, Is there a way to set RoboHelp 8 properties to ONLY generate a sub-folder (outlined in red) instead of the complete master project folder (outlined in green)?

Figure 1.

After file generation output reference figure 2 below, noticed the ‘SRC” folder (outlined in green) is generated as well.

Figure 2

If I drill-down (double-click) on the folder (see figure 3) you will notice there are 3 sub-folders (outlined in green)...

Figure 3

and drill-down again (see figure 4) notice the eight sub/sub-folders (outlined in purple).

Figure 4

I only want the help contents (see figure 5) located in my “eInvoice” folder that contains three htm files and the ‘eImages’ sub-folder that are outlined in dark blue.

Figure 5

THANK YOU!

Hi there

Would I be correct in assuming that you have not placed tags on the unwanted items?

Anything that is not tagged will be included in the build. If you are certain you have properly tagged everything, you need to investigate your build expression.

Cheers... Rick

Hi Rick,

Thanks for the quick response. I did try the Conditional Build Tags on just the files I wanted but that did not work; I did not know I had to tag everything I did NOT want. Let me try again.

Thanks again!
