RoboHelp

I have downloaded the Advance Online Help Source file and extracted them to my desktop (image below). I would like to upload these files into RoboHelp 2019 Classic to edit, but when I try to open the files in RoboHelp 2019 they are not there. The file type should be RoboHelp, but I don’t know how to get the source files to save as RoboHelp files.

Hi, I am using Robohelp 2020 and I am facing some issues. I cannot make the text Bold or Italic even after using shortcut key and also options available in editor.

The “Studio” frameless skin is used for publish. And the TOC output is not what I expected. When I clicked the "Director" tile, the link page shows all TOC for both "Director" and "Vobot" where I only want the "Director" TOC to display only. I cannot find the corresponding settings to modify in Skin editor. And the developper cannot find the corresponding file to modify either. Is there a way to change this respond event? Thanks a lot.

Hello,I have a frameless Online Help. Some titles of the tiles are slightly long. Can we wrap the tiles to another line?

I want to remove the dot from the currently selected topic in my studio skin. However, I cant work out where this is configured.  I am in Topic page > Left panel. I think this should be the selected-title option, but I cant see where you configure the dot?   

It is possible to format the search results.However, when we do this in Robohelp 2020, it does not apply this formatting.Is this a known bug or are we doing something wrong here?Screenshots are attached

As a user of the previous versions of Robohelp, where I just told my develuper where to find the webhelp folder so that he can include in our application. Now it seems after creating the mappings (same as previous version), I successfully generate and view the webhelp. However, do I now have to publish my webhelp, for my developer to have a folder he can utilise. But when I do try to publisf it asks for a plublish profile, I can only see Robohelp Server in the profile (and I dont want a server), other oprions are not for Robohelp as I can see. How do I therefore provide my developer with the relevant webhelp?

Hi,I am working on Adobe Rohohelp 10. The html output that is generated is not working on Edge. I have a client request for it to work on Edge. Can anybody help pls? It's a bit urgent. Thank you.

Hi everyone, I have a legacy project that was upgraded from RH 2015 (created originally with RH 10) to RH 2020 (now on 2020.4.173).  I ran the Broken Links report and received a huge list, including broken links to topics, images, master pages, js, snippets, and css.  I random checked some of the listed broken topic links and found none of them to be broken.  They appeared just fine, all links worked, the snippets were fine, etc. Does anyone know why RH is generating these false broken links?  I'd like this to work so that I can use it for finding actual REAL borken links! Thanks, Lori

I created a Responsive HTML project in Robohelp 2019. It looks pretty good, but I would like assistance with a few questions.  1) When my online help displays in the Application, it is only about 1/4 of the screen on the right. I am not able to expand it to a full page. Is this normal, or is there a settings I can build it with? 2) How do I remove the Index and the glossary Icon when I am displaying my online help in the application? 3) I have an arrow displaying on the bottom of the help screen. When I click it, the word "Tweet" displays.  Please see the 3 screenshots below (one for each question). Thank you in advance for your help. 

Hi RoboHelp Community, When I researched RoboHelp a short while ago, I stumbled across a training video that included a practice file. I just can't seem to find that video now or the practice file. Does this sound familiar to anyone?? Or, is anyone willing to part with a file/template I can use (I started the 30-day trial yesterday)? The training videos I'm finding now all seem to be geared towards marketing the new features/functions (which are amazing . . . don't get me wrong!), but I need a little i+1 help to hit the ground running with a current project!  I greatly appreciate all you do. Thanks in advance!!!Tammy (TK Anderson)

Hi, I want to start using Robohelp (2020.2.29) to generate an online help from a Framemaker document. When I link or import the file I can choose from which style a new topic should be started, i.e. the styles are correctly read from my document. However, when I click on Update/Create Topics, only an empty folder is created and RH shows "Success - HTML generated" pretty qickly for the big document I'm importing. No topics are generated. For comparison I tried a Word document. That worked fine. But even a small Framemaker file that I created for testing did not work. Any idea? Thanks,Marco.

Hi all,Does RH2019 produce a log file when it is generating? If so, could someone tell me where it is stored please?Am using RH2019 Classic, and all was going well until 30 minutes ago. I have been conditionalising some (simple) text and generating to Word, as well as making some other changes. All of a sudden, the generation process gets to "Updating files" and stops, then crashes. Every time.I CAN generate to Word successfully when I don't use a Conditional Build Expression, but I was using one earlier and it worked fine.  I also CAN generate to HTML5. Definitely looks like it's something I have done this morning that has upset it - but I have no idea what and really could do with a log file that might give me a clue.Any help gratefully received. ThanksLaura

hi everyone, I have a robohelp classic 2019.0.14i can't set the ruler at the top.The online guide says to go to SHOW but in the list  there is no RULES. Where can I set it up?.tks daniela 

Hello, everybody! I use RH2020.4 and face the next problem. I have a parent project with few children ones.Once I publish my site on a server, everything works well except the logo link of children's projects. Please, see the video in the attachement. I guess this link is to children's index.html, meanwhile, I can see absolutely correct URL in the address line. Undoubtedly everything works well on my local PC :).       

Hi,I am using RH 2020.4 on Windows 10. I have created a project and have used the Google Font, Rubik throughout the project, The font works fine on the online output but it substitutes alien fonts in the PDF output. Also, the formatting such as the spacing between the bullet, is not displayed. I also went through the post in this community and I did not find any problems to rectify it as mentioned in the post. Can anybody help me with this issue? 

I am using Robohelp 2019.0.14 with Git for version control. When I move a topic (by dragging the topic in the Content pane) from one folder to another, the Moving dialog box appears and it remains there forever. I have to close the project and even Exit Robohelp to get rid of the Moving dialog.The topic is moved to the required folder but the links on this page are not updated.Can you suggest an automatic way of updating the links?

Hi,I have a two-page manual cover in PDF format created in InDesign. I've chopped it in half in the hopes of using the first page as a default topic for HTML5 output so it acts as a landing page of sorts when launching a website for a manual. Is there a way to bring this into RoboHelp as an HTML file so I can select it as the default topic in the Output Preset?I'm using RoboHelp 2020 for Mac.Thanks

Hi y'all,I'm using RoboHelp 2020.4.173 and I'm trying to match the style of our InDesign-generated PDFs when using a RH Output Preset for PDF. The one thing that's being stubborn is the line spacing for the ToC. I can't for the life of me find where those styles are defined and how to change them.In my search through this forum, I found references to a p.pdf-toc class, and I've added that to my .css (the same one used by the master page), but no matter what change I make to that class (such as color: #9012fe;), the ToC does not change.Where do I set up styles that affect the ToC?Thanks for your help!

I've just upgraded to the current version of RH and have encountered strange behaviour with thumbnail sizing. I have two screenshots on one page, both with a thumbnail width of 300. On generation as HTML5, the thumbnails have noticeably different widths.To add to the strangeness, clicking the first thumbnail produces a SMALLER image. (The original size is 631 × 483, with a thumbnail setting of 392 × 300. Clicking after generation produces an image about 80% of the original when it clealry should be much larger.)The second screenshot is 753 × 480, with a thumbnail setting of 471 × 300. Clicking after generation produces an imageabout 110% of the original, nothing like the ratio expected from th esettings.Any ideas as to what is going on here?

I might have mixed up the years in my example (below), but I am currently watching 3 different tutorials for RoboHelp, and none of them have the same buttons in the same place (IE: Translations). I get that software companies need to constantly make changes to justify taking one weeks pay from my pocket every flipping year, but can you at least post the changes in a way that we can easily find them? Employers do not like it when our productivity slows down, just so we can find some stupid button/function change that is No Help At All! Stop reinventing the wheel. If it is not a new feature, then there is no need to move everything around. I know designers who just don't want to do it anymore becasue you guys make for a terrible professional work environment. If Adobe were a person, I would fire them for slowing down my workplace productivity every year or so with unnecessary convoluted updates. Thanks 

When I insert a formatted variable into a topic and then print to Word, the variable value is rendered in Times New Roman instead of the paragraph font (in my case Tahoma). It's correct in the HTML5 output though.The variable value is defined as <em><strong>storm </strong>ACME User Guide</em> Am I missing something or could this be a bug?Any thoughts/workarounds would be useful. Otherwise, I may have to create yet another word VBA macro to resolve this issue.

Hi all,to me, it seems that changes to the master page in the output preset is no longer saved in RH new UI 2020.4.173. I tried to change the master page in my own project and in the sample project "About Robohelp". I can save the preset just fine, but when I close it and reopen it, the changes are reset. I also tried doing this with an existing preset and with a new one. Both with the same result. Has anyone else seen this and can confirm this is a bug?Thanks and best regardsKarin

I believe I've done my due diligence for this. But, surprisingly, I haven't seen an answer for how you might create a note using an image before the running text, and format the text properly. I'm trialling RoboHelp 2020. I'm just getting acquainted with CSS. And here's where I've gotten so far in the WYSIWYG editor. And here's the CSS I have for the p.caution style at this point (the ::before clause lifted from a post here). p.caution {/* Styling for the regular text */padding-left: 0px;line-height: 1.15;margin-top: 10px;margin-bottom: 0px;padding-top: 5px;padding-bottom: 5px;vertical-align: bottom;font-family: Calibri;margin-right: 0px;margin-left: 0px;display: inline;font-size: 11pt;}p.caution::before {--prefix-gap: 3pt;margin-right: var(--prefix-gap);counter-increment: p\.caution;content: url('../images/Images-HAT_Trial/Caution.png')counter(p\.caution1, none);}What I'd like to achieve is the ability to wrap the text starting at the top right corner of the image to its bot
