RoboHelp

When I save a document I do not expect to be able to undo formatting changes. However I can do that in RoboHelp 2019. And "undo" does not undo just the last piece of formatting - no it takes away a long solid chunk of formatting and sets the document back to the state of last save.It seems illogical and out of sync with all other software. Is there a system to this and can I modify it somehow?

Does RH 2019 new include the ability to generate output via command line, with the output target a cloud location - such as Azure or Amazon Web Services? I'm guessing this would require a special target location/URL/service, along with corresponding user login credentials for the cloud/hosting service/site in the command line. I believe this functionality existed in prior RH versions, but never personally tested it. The overarching goal here is to automate a nightly help build + upload/update/posting to a cloud service. It may be that there are better tools to automate the uploading/posting part of this process - in which case, I would be interested in hearing what tools/services (batch file + Windows scheduler, etc.) others are using for handling that, and their experience with those tools. Note: I have successfully generated output via command line on/to my local PC/machine in RH 2019, so I do have that "part of the puzzle" figured out. I have some experience with batch fil

Hi guys, So, the Frameless output is brilliant.  I've started moving over my entire project to it, and I'm loving it.  The way it looks is beautiful and smooth - I just have one little issue.  When I click on a Topic and it is displayed, the TOC on the left-hand side of the screen displays fine.  When I click to other items (books or topics) in the TOC it all responds like it should, in other words, the TOC responds like it should. However, when I click on a book on the home page, and that book is linked to a topic (source set to a topic), the topic it is set to displays, but the TOC remains closed.  On the Responsive HTML5 output, these books are automatically expanded, and it's contents displayed in the TOC, but with the Frameless this doesn't happen.  It's not a massive train smash, but ideally if I click on a book and the book's linked source topic is opened, it should expand that book in the TOC so the user can see that there is more to the

Hello,    I generated the output and tested it on my output folder, everything works well. But when I push the output files to my server via Filezilla to publish them on my website, the filters (tags) don't work in topics. I have an error on my browser console related to the file common.min.js which is automatically generated by RoboHelp. This error does not appear when I open the output from my local folder (Computer Folder) and appears only when I open the website. I work with RoboHelp 2019.     Output on Website   Output on my local

I need to import a word document into a project created using RoboHelp 2019. I need to keep the exact formatting from the word document but upon import to RoboHelp, the images are placed slightly differently. The justification was also changed from justified to left indent. Is there any way to keep the format the same format as the original word file?

I recently was working with Adobe for some support and moved my project to my desktop for troubleshooting and never moved it back onto my external hard drive which would have been automatically backed up.  BIG mistake, HUGE! My IT Ops team did a domain migration in which my profile was supposedly moved but all content on the desktop was lost, including, the largest project I manage that is accessed by multiple states. IT Ops is running a deep dive recovery program but my fear is it will not work and I just wondered, if there is a remote chance to rebuild the project from any of the output folders, locally and/or on the RH Server 10 that we use?  Worst case is I have to go back to my last backup which was 3 months ago and redo the work. This is my HAIL MARY!

Hi all, am hoping someone can help solve this as I am very frustrated by this issue! I have researched this problem on this site but can find no answer that works for me. My problem is that random png images do not appear in my project manager or in the HTML5 output. This usually occurs when they are in tables.  This has happened before, and I once solved it by double clicking the image and clicking OK, then Save. This seemed to register the image’s presence, but this is not working now. Details:I am using Robohelp Classic 2019.My files are all on the local drive.I have tried deleting the CPD file from File Explorer and restarting/regenerating projectI have checked the box under Options which deletes the CPD file automaticallyI've looked at the HTML code and copied rows/cells from the same table where the images are showing.The images are inserted by selecting Insert Image and selecting an image.When I insert the rogue image elsewhere in the project and sa

Kindly let us know the steps to update the TOC of the merged projects.I'm using the RoboHelp 2019.0.10 version.And the output used is Responsive HTML5.  

Hi Team, After generating RoboHelp WebHelp output by importing word file. can't able to perform search operation in Content.  

Good morning ladies and gents, I started a new project with the Frameless Dark skin this week, and I've run into a problem.  I'm not sure if it's a common issue or if it's just me, but it seems like the breadcrumbs Home button/link is broken.  It keeps taking me back to a topic that I no longer have in my project, the First_Topic.htm topic that is the default topic when you create a new project.  I have tried to find out where I can edit the information for that topic, but I can't find it.  When I click it here, it just gives me a broken link error, because obviously the topic doesn't exist.  I want the button/link to take me back to the home page for the project.  It's the Home link/button I have in the attachment. Can someone please assist?  If I click the Title bar/icon it takes me back to where I want to be without an issue.  Ideally the Home button/link would do the same?

Hi,I am trying to change some of the labels in my project, but I am just not able to. I navigated to the Labels file, clicked the "..." icon, and then selected Edit. I am expecting this to open up a label editor. But nothing happens.Could you please check and let me know if I am doing something wrong? Thanks!

Does anyone know if there is a way of telling which reports in my project are not referrenced in my Table Of Contents? I'm using RoboHelp 2019, the minimal view. Thanks.  

Hi,I'm trying to generate a printed documentation from my RoboHelp 2019 Classic project, which has some complex conditional tagging applied. I can't seem to get the conditional expression right so only the content that I actually want is included. These are the available build tags in my project:Topic-level tags (identify which of our product a whole topic applies to):topic_damtopic_novatopic_cmaContent-level tags (identify content for each product in a topic which has content for multiple products)content_damcontent_novacontent_cmaTopic/Content-level tags for user-leveluser_casualUsersuser_powerUsersContent-level tags for the medium (for layout reasons I partly have two versions of images/text)medium_onlinemedium_printContent-level tags for stuff that needs to be excluded:exclude What I'm having trouble with is finding the right combination so I can export the printed documentation for a.) only one of the products (dam, nova or cma), b.) with only the "medium_print" stuff in

Hi,I am using RH 11 and Visual Studio for source control.I need to take an archived version of my RH project and open it for edits that do not go in the current project.When I unzip my archive, it automatically links it to source control and downloads the latest version of the project.It supplants the current project in source control, and even changes the path mapping in source control to match that of the archive project.So what I need to be able to do is open my archive project without it interfacing with source control. Is there a file I can edit that links the project to source control? I can't even open the project in RH because it hijacks the source control mapping.Thanks.

I am really struggling with content sensitive help.I have not found a Robohelp help topic which helped me.Luckily I found a Youtube video, but that is an older version of Robohelp.https://youtu.be/I_6QRJ8AN68 My question is: which URL commands are available next to:rhcsh=rhmapno=rhmapid=???

I am using Robohelp 2017 and updated to the latest version 13.0.2.334. I am using Word 2016. I am getting this error:  Can someone help, please? 

Hi guys, I've been using a lot of drop-down text section in my documentation.  I use them to show/hide additional information on certain sections, and I have anything between 2 and 10 of them on each of the pages in my documentation, so I can't just leave them out.   However, since upgrading my project to the 2019 layout, I keep getting "failures" on my drop-down text sections.  A bunch of them simply stopped working, in other words they don't "drop down" when I double-click them in the editor, and they also don't work when I click them in the HTML5 output.   Further, in the previous version (2017), I used to simply copy-paste the collapsed drop-down text section to where I needed a new one (because I have some containers in them I use across the board) and edited the images or tables as needed.  When I do the same now, it seems the drop-downs get linked together, so if I open up one in the output, they all open up and the images are all stuffed up.   I di

Do most users of Robohelp 2017 use the built in editor? After using Microsoft Word and Publisher for all my documentation, I find the Robohelp editor to be very antiquated.    Thank you for your response.

In the previous version of RH that I used, I could generate a PDF for review. It would contain only the topics I selected, and the review comments would be enabled. I do not see such an option in RH 2019. When I try to generate a PDF from the Output tab, I don't see a way to select individual topics. Is this function gone now? Thank you,Cindy 

RoboHelp 10 - latest release.   Moderator Note. Later corrected to RoboHelp 2019 Update 10   In the CSS that I have inherited, I have three paragraph styles (list-bullet, list-bullet-1, and list-bullet-2) that ideally should be list styles so that I can get the type of indentation/wrapping in my bulleted lists. (The attached screen capture shows in the top graphic the way that a bulleted list wraps now and the bottom screen capture shows what I want. )     I mocked up this graphic to show what I want - I am not actually getting what I want no matter where I try to modify these styles. I give. . . . what do I have modify/where do I make these modifications to change these pargraph styles to a list style?    In the inherited CSS, I have this:   p.Listing-bullet-1 {margin-top: 6pt;margin-bottom: 6pt;margin-left: 15pt;}p.Listing-bullet-2 {margin-top: 6pt;margin-bottom: 6pt;margin-left: 30pt;list-style: disc;}p.Listing-bullet {margin-top: 6pt;margin-left:

I need a quick lesson on creating an android or IOS help system with Robohelp. I am use to creating Windows CHM help systems in Robohelp.  Please tell me what project type to select and build under?Can I view it on the PC with the phone layout? What is the file extension for the android help system after compiled? Thank you in advance for your answers. 

Hello Robohelp Community,Is there a way to create links in the Breadcrumbs that does not follow the TOC hierarchy? It appears each link in the breadcrumbs chain corresponds to a book in the TOC rather than a folder in the project's directory structure (my TOC is different than the directory structure).

I am trying to figure out if you can use keyboard to naivgate the frameless layout, does it work with screen readers, etc? I like the Frameless look and it meets GDPR requirements, but I also need to make it accessible. Wondering what my best options are to meet both requirements.

I am trying to build help via command line to integrate into a CI/CD pipeline but it keeps telling me the preset does not exist (even though the preset is visible) The error that comes from command line is: "Preset name "namehere" does not exist in the project" The command I use to build is: robohelp.exe --cl "proj.rhpj" -o PresetName -l c:\temp\logs -p c:\temp\output It gives that error and does not generate a log or output.

RH2019.0.10, new UI.Create a bookmark with the bookmark icon.Save the topic, so the bookmark becomes available in the contents section.Link to the bookmark within the same topic (drag it from the contents into the topic).Save the topic again.Double-click on te bookmark and change its name.Save the topic.Examine the link with ctrl-k. This link still uses the first name of the bookmark, and now is a broken link as a result. I don't mean the display text, that shouldn't change. But the link itself links to the old bookmark as well.Anyone else can confirm this? Will bookmark links also break when a topic is moved to another folder within the UI?
