RoboHelp

I'm converting classic (2017) projects to 2022 (version 2022.2.22).  We have some TOC books with links and one of them links to an external link (a topic in another project).  In classic, if you click on the TOC book, the book opens so you can see the contents, and the external topic is opened in the main (right) frame.  It works the same way as if an internal topic was linked. After converting to 2022, the book does not open to show the contents, and the external topic opens in a new window.  Is there a way to change this?  I have verified that the book contents are still there if you go to edit the TOC; they just don't open in the output (responsive html). Examples:Classic output - the System Errors book links to an external topic; when you select it, it displays to the right and also opens the book: 2022 output - the System Errors book is a book with contents when editing the TOC, but it appears in the output as a linked page instead; it does

Hello.  I have a converted classic (2017) project; the 2022 version is Version 2022.2.22. I have noticed that some (or many) topics have an extra paragraph mark in author view, but this paragraph is not there in preview mode, and the cursor in author view also indicates that it is not there.  In the example below (author view), the blank paragraph after the word "include" really is there.  The rest of them are not.  If I have my cursor after the "s" in the word Pends and press the right arrow, it skips the blank paragraph as if it wasn't there, and goes right to the P in Procedures.  The preview of the topic looks correct:  Is there something I can do to make the author view appear correctly?  The extra paragraph not appear after every item in a list - it does in this topic, but there are others where it is (seemingly) random - the first 3 items in the list might have no extra paragraph and then the 3rd and 4th do, for example.&nbs

When will Adobe RoboHelp be releasing a new version with new features?

What if any are the Aritificial Intelligence Integration with RoboHelp?

When I add a table inside a drop-down that's part of a list style, it does not add the margin space that is part of the css.  Our  paragraph and list styles have a top and bottom margin of 6pt to space things out a bit.  When I add a table inside a drop-down that is part of a list style, this space is not added, but it is there if the drop-down is added to a paragraph style.  In the example below, the top border of the table is almost flush against the "step 2" wording. We want it to look like the 2nd table, which is in a drop-down that was added to a regular <p> line instead - to have a little space between the drop-down header and the table.Is there a way to do this in the css that I might be missing?   It does honor that space when there is no table inside the drop-down or when the drop-downs are closed:But nothing I can think of will make that space appear when the Step 2 drop-down is opened.  In the <p> style and in all of t

RH2022  - is there still no built-in functionality in Robo when you click a button and your table gets sorted in A-> Z in the Author view.  I've found the only workaround in the discussion for RH2017 https://community.adobe.com/t5/robohelp-discussions/rh2017-can-we-sorting-alphabetically-in-a-table/m-p/10055720#M122124 Please share your experience. Inna

Hi, I have the following structure setup in the contents are: Folder 1  Folder 11    Folder 111      Topic 1111      Topic 1112    Folder 112      Topic 1121      Topic 1122When I use the Auto-Create TOC it creates duplicate nesting folders in the TOC area. For exampleSection 1  Section 11    Section 111      Topic 1111      Topic 1112    Section 111      Topic 1111      Topic 1112    Section 112      Topic 1121      Topic 1122    Section 112      Topic 1121      Topic 1122 It seems to be creating a minimum of 2 sections per sub-folder but if you have more than two topics in it it will create the number of topics minus one. For example if there are 4 topics it will create 3 sections each with all 4 topics in it.This beha

Is there a way to make the TOC resizable in Frameless output (desktop view)?

[Discussion split off into its own thread from https://community.adobe.com/t5/robohelp-discussions/problems-with-microsoft-html-help-output-with-robohelp-2022/m-p/14659599#M154042 ]   Ever hear anything else about this? im having similar issues.

I need to print out the chm file. In the meantime, I wrote the contents with robohelp 2017 and then printed them out with Microsoft HTML Help. But after upgrading this project to robohelp 2022, it won't print out. An error like the one below occurs.ENOENT: no such file or directory, lstat 'C:\Users\사용자\AppData\Local\Temp\RHTMP\testrX9Gs3\MyHelp.chm' Failed to generate test. Check log for more details.This route is neither my project route nor my output route. It seems to be a temporary route. How can I solve it?

I have several projects that are merged into a parent ToC. These are then all output as html5.  I have followed the correct procedure (created the link, exported the parent projects, exported the child topic to the mergedProjects folder and then rebuild the parent). These links work well enough.I also want to link to individual sections within some of these child merged projects from the main ToC. I cannot get this to work, Robohelp either skips the link item in the ToC, or changes the url in the link to somewhere completely different. I have tried building the link using the UI and that failed - I have also manually edited the ToC xml file to insert the url that I got by navigating to the built, exported file but this didnt work (Robohelp stores the child projects in a folder named mergedProjects but exports the to 'projects').Does anyone have any helpful insights? 

We converted from RH2015 to RH2022. In RH2015, a generated link ends with "RF/rf1111," which is also how it appears in the Source file prior to being generated.  In Robohelp 2022, the same generated link ends with "rf/rf1111," even though it is "RF/rf1111" in the Source file. Consequently, the link does not work in RH2022 generated help. We are using the HTML5 preset, and cannot find any field or control that would change the path from upper to lower case.  Is there anything we can do to stop this from happening? We have numerous broken links throughout the help.

Hi Everyone, I wanted to know if my version of RoboHelp is supported.I found this page of supported products of Adobe Products and technical support periods for my version they statted "Support Bug fixes and Security fixes for the current version (N) and Security vulnerability fixes for the previous major version (N-1). " I Dont understand if "major" means the release(2022 and 2020 are supported) or "major" is the update for the release meaning only 2022.5 and 2022.4 versions are supported. If somebody can clarify it I will be very gratefull .

I have few long tables with 4 columns. The first column is the most crucial. It holds some entries/terms.When the table was created the rows were entered randomly as data came in. It will make sense to sort it alphabetically.IN RH is it possible to sort based on a column like MS word?

Hello.  I have a project that I have recently converted from classic (2017) to RoboHelp 2022 (Version 2022.2.22).  I have an existing CSS that has styles for numbered, lettered, and bulleted lists.  When I try to apply these list styles, either nothing happens, or it picks a random style that is not the list style. I've found that I can copy an existing list from either the same or another topic and then edit it, but there has to be a better way than that.  I can also edit the style in the code, but that of course takes longer than just clicking on the list style that I need.  Existing lists from converted topics appear to be working fine. Another wrinkle - if I apply a non-list style, and then try to change it back to normal (which appears to now just be <p>), again, nothing happens. For example:This has style <p> (I tried to apply my numbered list but it did not apply; the code verifies it's just <p>):I change it to an in

When I create a table with a rowspan="2", I receive an error message in the log (Incorrect link). In addition, the chapter is not displayed in the PDF output.<table class="GreyHead"> <caption>Gerätevarianten</caption> <colgroup> <col width="20%" /> <col width="15%" /> <col width="15%" /> <col width="15%" /> </colgroup> <thead> <tr> <th colspan="1" rowspan="2"><p>Artikelbezeichnung</p></th> <th colspan="2" rowspan="1"> <p class="centered">Kupfer-Ports</p> </th> <th> <p class="centered">SPE-Ports</p> </th> </tr> <tr> <th>10/100 MBit/s</th> <th>10/100/1000 MBit/s</th> <th>10BASE T1L</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <t

Dear Sir or Madam,we bought a subscription for Adobe RoboHelp 2015 a year ago. Now we want to update to 2017. However, it seems there is no way and no information about how to access/download Adobe RoboHelp if you have a subscription plan. If we log in with our Adobe ID, it shows that we have a Adobe RoboHelp 2017 subscription now, which is great but how to access/download the product? We tried everything out: Creative Could Manager, Adobe Website, etc. but RoboHelp is not there. (At least not for subscription customers)So can you please tell us how to access/download our subscription based Adobe RoboHelp 2017.Thanks

Version 2022.0.346 Any idea why the first section I have in my project disappears from the output from time to time? I keep adding in the section and inserting the topics. Thanks in advance.  

I'm using RH2022.5.28.  We're looking at implementing variables.  But when I add a variable to a heading it doesn't display using the heading style.  The heading is bold and uses a larger font size.  It displays as bold but not in the larger font size. 

Hi, suppose having a full RH project in ENG, my goal would be to have the same project translated in another language (for example, Italian). I would like to have one project, which means one zip folder, where the project language can be switched between English and Italian. Is there anyone who attempted to reach this same goal?Thanks for helping!  Laura

2022.4.179 How do I adjust the leading of paragraphs? I can change the spacing above and below paragraphs by adjusting the Margins under LAYOUT.  But I want to open up the spacing withnin a paragraph. Thanks in advance!  

In RoboHelp 2020 the map file is generated as /whxdata/csh.new.js.    But I can't find any information on where that same map file would be for 2022.    We are currently looking to upgrade to 2022 and I need to know if we need to create a new solution to get to the topic-specific content from the application screen.     I've seen discussions about an .h map file, but that appears to be relative to another application content being moved to RoboHelp.    Any enlightenment would be greatly appreciated.   

We typically share variable files across multple RoboHelp projects, and have had success simply copy/pasting the default.var file from project to project. With the update to 2022.5.28, variable files created prior aren't loading the variables into RoboHelp. I noticed the formatting of the default.var XML file has changed, with what was previously:<keydef keys="Variable Name"><topicmeta><keywords><keyword>Variable Value</keyword></keywords></topicmeta></keydef>now being:<variable id="Variable Name">Variable Value</variable>and we have to recreate the variable file (which isn't too difficult, to be honest). Just wondering if a) this was a known change (I haven't seen anything announced anywhere), and b) if anyone else has come across this issue. Thanks!

This is driving me bat crap crazy.I have a project that no matter WHAT I do, will not add changed topics to the Output folder for a Responsive HTML Generate step. This project is about ten years old, and had been working fine up until maybe two weeks ago. Can't pin it for sure to the .5 update, but that might be part of it. Have made no changes to build tags or build expressions. Have tried using Republish All selected and not selected (not that that usually makes any difference at all, which is fun when working with large systems... but that's another issue to address at another time).Have tried renaming topics, folders, subfolders that contain the topics I need to see hit the Output folder.  What am I missing? Is there a cache file somewhere in my project (on my laptop, not on the server) that controls what the Generate step recognizes as changed topics?  I want to blow that sucker out of the water if there is one. Or what else could be interfering? And
