RoboHelp

I'm working on a Help File and the customer has requested me to include all notes with a lime green background. Trouble is that the shading extends to the end of the line. I have created a Note Style for the shading and a Note snippet for the image and Note:   Is there any way to make the background to wrap with the text.   Please see the image for reference.   Cheers 

I was wondering if anyone knows offhand what layout this is?     Thank you in advance for any help provided. I appreciate it. 

I am using Robohelp 2017 with 2nd update.  This help system is VERY large, and the Index has several thousand keywords and subkeywords. We have been using WebHelp output that is called by our application web server for context-sensitive help for many years now.  However the TOC was not working in Chrome, and we need to support both IE 11 and Chrome for our applications. So we just switched to Responsive HTML5, with Azure_Blue layout.  So now, our TOC and Search are working, but Index is not working. Note that Index worked fine with WebHelp – we just switched to Responsive HTML5 because of the TOC issue. Our layout is set up so you click to view in full context (with the TOC, Index, and Search panels).From other Forum threads here with related issues, we applied the updates to the JS files for Search, and that helped.  I looked for any other possible updates we needed – except for going to RH 2019! – and I think we are up-to-date.Here’s the issue with our Index in Re

I have a help system of guides under the title Playbooks, then the guides are Commercial, Personal, Claims and Employee Benefits. I'm using the Screen Layout called Azure Blue.    I want a main page with title Playbooks with each playbook listed in the icons in the body of the page. Each icon lets the user access the specific play book they want. then on the playbooks landing page, I want the icons to show the sections of the documents.   I'm not sure how to set up the output to generate the playbooks. For the playbook documents, can I use a different screen layout?   Thanks, MDawn

I need to generate the output of a project so others can review the screen design. I'm not sure how to do this. Or can I publish just for the reviewers? Help!   Thanks, Margaret

I'm creating help in Responsive HTML5 output. I want to change the Welcome to the Help Center text and the color of the Favorites button. Can someone provide instructions? Thanks,MDawn

Hi, I need to create an in-document reference link. This link will simply send the reader to the Annex section in the document. Somebody knows how I can create this link?   Part of the code Top of page showing where the bottom link must bring me (see image Link at bottom)  <ul class="Disc">       <li style="font-size: 14pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 8pt"><u>Tâche à <strong>MTL-SSC-TEL</strong> (Txxxxxxx)</u>   -------------------------------------------------   Bottom of the page with link to bring me back up. </div>   <p><a href="#Top">Back to top</a></p>   <p> </p> </body> </html>   Thanks, Pierre

What version of robohelp is compatible with Windows Server 2019?

Breadcrumb separators + frameless outputs! By default, you get a ":" (colon) after the starting "Home" breadcrumb and then a "/" (forward slash) for subsequent separators. But, how and where do you change these? I looked into it and here's what I found; perhaps there's an easier method.  Change the Home separatorGo to Output>Labels>English (US) (this is the default/only language for my project - yours may be different) and select FRAMELESS. In BreadcrumbStart, replace the ":" character with the "|" - or whatever character you prefer. Save the changes. That's the easy one. The forward slash is a little trickier. Change subsequent separatorsFinding where to change this took some digging, but it appears to be controlled/specified using the following code in several instances of the layout.css file that are installed/stored under the RoboHelp 2019 program files (file paths provided below): .rh-layout-BCRUMBS-list-item::before {content

Breadcrumb separators! By default, you get "Home :" for uh, well, "Home" and then a forward slash "/" for subsequent separators. But, how and where do you change these?   Change the home separator Go to Output>Labels>English (US) (this is the default/only language for my project - yours may be different) and select FRAMELESS. In BreadcrumbStart, replace the ">" character with the "|" - or whatever character you prefer. Save the changes. That's the easy one. The forward slash is a little trickier.   Change subsequent separators Finding where to change this took some digging, but it appears to be controlled/specified using the following code in several instances of the layout.css file that are installed/stored under the RoboHelp 2019 program files (file paths provided below):   .rh-layout-BCRUMBS-list-item::before {content: "/";margin: 0 0.5rem 0 0;color: #707070;     Based on my testing, it appears you need to manually perform this modification for all

I recently updated to RoboHelp 2019 and I am tyring to link a FrameMaker book to a new project, but the files do not generate. I create a folder, right-click, select link, and then choose my FrameMaker book. I then right-click on the linked FrameMaker book and select Create Topics. Some actions are performed under the hood and a prompt tells me HTML files have been created......but that is not the case at all.    I am unable to open the files to view anything at all. After linking a book in RoboHelp 2017, I would select Generate and my HTML files would be created and available for viewing and editing.    How can I get this to work in RoboHelp 2019? I have been unable to find decent resouces on this issue and I am not going to link Word documents, which RoboHelp 2019 seems to prefer over FrameMaker, for some reason.    This is a very basic function that many users peform. 

Our product's Help is accessed via CSH using map IDs (no option to change to url method). We're using RH2017 and the Indigo layout. (In terms of our process, I commit the help to SVN and my dev team has a separate "build machine" with it's own version of RH and they build everything from there... I have confirmed that it has all the latest updates.)When a user accesses the Help, there is a brief flicker of the homepage TOC before it jumps to the topic page, and the topic page layout also flickers briefly before the topic content appears. (It's in the proper full page view, not the "show original context" issue that has happened to others).Once the topic is loaded, if you click on the logo in the header to get back to the homepage and access topics from there the flickering doesn't happen. So - is there a way to stop CSH calls from trying to go to the homepage first before loading the topic, and will this stop the flickering? It is always CSH when a user first gets into the help, but we

I had to reinstall RoboHelp 2019 on a Windows 10 machine. Since then, when I generate responsive HTML output, I lose the indent settings for all lists and other styles with an indent. For example, my left indent is set to 36pt but the output does not add the indent yet in the project it displays as it should and the indent settings for the style are correct.This was not happening before I had to change operating systems and reinstall RoboHelp. I am using RoboHelp 2019 Classic edition. It is not a browser issue as the same thing occurs on Chrome, IE, and Firefox.

Hi all, I would like to delete the "index" - and "glossary" tabs in the WebHelp output in Robohelp 2019 (reimagined). Does anybody know how to remove these?   Cheers, K.

I generated responsive HTML output; however, I do not see the "Next" and Previous" icons visible in the output next to Print icon. I used all the 3 layouts. The icons are enabled in the layout. Is this a known bug?

  In the above TOC, is it possible to remove these plus and minus icons? Also, where is the code available for this setting in generated file. Is it in css or js? This is the file generated using Robohelp 2019 version.

I am using Adobe RoboHelp 2019 version 2019.0.8. I have solved all the broken links except 1. The broken links report appears as follows: I have cleared out all other broken links. I am unable to find More_Menu.htm# (above). I have done a search in RoboHelp 2019 in More_Menu.htm. Nothing. I clicked on fix broken links (below) and it creates more broken links and does not fix the problem. The tool wants me to replace the broken link with something. I don't know what to replace it with. I would like to find it first.   I downloaded Ecobyte Replace Text to see if this tool would find the More_Menu.htm#. Again I did not know what to replace the link with. I got the following in the Ecobyte Replace Text log: *************** Replace Group: New Group Source: "C:\RoboHelp2019\outputs\Alarms\More_Menu.htm"Destination: "C:\RoboHelp2019\outputs\Alarms\More_Menu.htm" (1 Changes)Backup: "C:\RoboHelp2019\outputs\Alarms\More_Menu.htm.backup" Files Processed: 1Files Altered:

I am using 2019 Classic Responsive HTML help. When the help home page topic loads, it initially loads with parentheses characters used for some acronyms and some extra spaces after a table at the bottom of the topic. This appears for only a moment (maybe a second), before scripts finish running/when the page finishes loading. The parenthesis characters disappear along with the extra space at the bottom of the topic before the footer. I am planning to try to hunt down the script that is running and attempt to fix the page-load bug, but I was wondering if anyone else has come across this or knows what script needs modification.

Has anybody else had this problem? When I generate the WebHelp output and then view it, it opens up like this in my ie:   Or even better, does anybody know how to fix it? /K.

Hi,   I'm currently working with Context Sensitive Help and I want to list my Map ID's according to map number. But as soon as I click on the tab to change the list order this red box pops up. Does anybody know why this happens and how to solve it? Thanks,   K.

I'm working on a Help file on RoboHelp 2017 Ver 13.0.0.257. The main font used is Calibri. However the client (who has a Macbook) gets a different layout in the HTML 5 Output. The main differences are: The main font is now Times New Roman The Sidebar is arranged vertically. The problem arises in the Table of Contents. Clicking on a book expands the book to cover over the navigation page. For example Topic 1 Subtopic 1 page 1 page 2  page 3 When clicking page 2, the menu now becomes Subtopic1 page 1  page 2 page 3   Is there a fix for this? The client does not like the look of Times New Roman and the fact that a user should click Back on their browser to go back to the list of topics. I fiddled around in a Mac mini with a huge monitor and I found out that resizing the browser screen helps.   Thank you and I apologize for the lengthy post.

I chatted with RoboHelp Support about this but when I tried I still was unclear. I was told to right-click in the table, click Select, Table, which I did and the table is selected, then to select General and the ol list displays. (I'm assuming the style is because the table is in a number list). However, in the list of information you can set, I'm not sre what to choose: Alignment, Layout-Width or Layout-Margins. I would like to know which one to set to indent my table, but an excplanation of each of these options would be helpful. I have tried each of these and cannot get any of them to work.   Thanks, MDawn  

When I export my project from Robohelp to HTML5, it seems to be inserting either paragraphs with non-breaking spaces in them, or with this character as well: Â The blank divs happen at the top of every page, only some of them contain that extra character above. I'm using the Azure skin with some minor CSS changes.    

In RoboHelp 2019, where can I find the details of the ul and ol styles. In a numbered step, the number is displayed at tge bottom of the line's text rather than on the first line. when I look in the Styles list in tghe right side list, the style is showing as p. I am new to RoboHelp 2019. Thank you.MDawn

We have tried several different types of Output for 5 of our online help RH2019 New projects. The output generates as expected, however when we do our internal testing for 508 Compliance many of the tests are failing. Is anyone else having issues with obtaining 508 Compliant Output using RH2019 New?  Using version 14.0.9 Also: We tested using the sample projects that come with the RH2019 Installation. Each of the sample projects are also failing many of the 508 compliant tests.
