HiI have imported  a FM book into RH2015 and mapped FM styles to HTML styles. The text is correctly styled in the RH editor window, but when I generate WebHelp (both varieties), the output is not styled accordingly.When I look at the raw HTML, I can see that the text in question is wrapped correctly. For example, <span class="FM_bold">Status</span> ) is in the code, but the wrapped text does not get bolded. It seems as if the CSS is not being read, even though it is correctly referenced in the meta-tags.Any help?ThanksGeoffrey Marnell

I have been using Robohelp 2015 (of late) to maintain the help files on a VB6 app. I generate a CHM file, the forms in the app have context IDs, and the F1 key "just works" with VB6 in calling up the correct page.We are currently researching the possibility of moving over to a web-based-help solution using something like Responsive HTML5 (or similar - not committed to that particular flavour). I am getting pushback from the developers who are suggesting that VB6 is unable to handle F1 with help formats other than .hlp and .chm - is this true?It is not practical to revisit every form in our app (it's huge). The forms have their context ID and that's all they're ever going to have. I'm not a developer although I have some developement experience. We are willing to write some code to redirect the F1 to the new help as long as it's central; the problem I have at the moment is that the lead developer is saying it can't be done. Has anyone got anything I can go back to the dev team with that

Hi,Is there any way to get a list of all links inside a project?  Full URLs, relative paths, what have you -- basically anything that would start with the <a href=" tag.For various network architecture reasons that I barely understand and cannot influence, we have to change all our links to our merged projects to relative paths. But those links don't appear in the URL section in Project Manager.  I'm looking for a way to see them.Any ideas?Thanks!

Hi,Is it possible to develop a Tooltip based help or Popup based help using RoboHelp (Web-based or Responsive)? To my knowledge, a tooltip can be written in the Product Web Application Code. My company is looking for a Tooltip based help that can be achieved using RoboHelp (Web-based or Responsive), where the developer's help is initially needed and any further update in the documentation must be taken care by the Technical Writer within RoboHelp.Thanks and Regards,Sreelakshmi P

What is the best process for upgrading from Rh11 to Rh15 to ensure backwards compatibility with our existing projects?We upgraded from Rh11 to Rh15 for Office 2016 compatibility, but had a number of problems with existing projects. We downgraded back to Rh11 but are encountering other problems.I can provide more details if needed.Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide.

Is it possible to change the background color of ToC pane in case of Responsive HTML output?Can any changes in backend code will help?

Hi,I am using RoboHelp 2015. My company is looking if we can create a ToolTip and link it with RoboHelp output file. So when a user clicks on Question Mark sign a ToolTip will open which describes the function in 2 lines and will also have a link for detail description which has to be RoboHelp.Thanks,Atinder Sodhi

Hi. I have upgraded a RH8 project to RH2015. After fixing all issues from the upgrade, the project compiled correctly.However just recently, i noticed that the Master page i use is missing from the Output Setup window. The project compiles correctly but i can no longer edit the Master page (for footer date changes) in RH. The workaround is to open the .htt file in Notepad and edit there. I can't Import the Master page, RH says the file is already in use. So i am stuck with the workaround.Another recent bug in RH caused CHM files to double in size. After much angst, i found that compiling to a folder far, far away fixed the situation.These random bugs are quite annoying, especially when i can't figuring out what is going wrong.Cheers,Sue from Hobart

Using RH 2015, I am trying to edit the CSS sheet for an HTML5 screen layout. I don't know what I did, but before I did "it", the .css file in Output Setup had a Notepad-like icon and I was able to open it in the usual dialogue box. The layout elements looked like this:Then after the unknown event, most of the objects' icons turned into the baggage file icon, including the one for the css:Worse yet, when I double-click the file now, it tries to open SharePoint Designer. I captured the first image in this post from a separate project after I found this problem, so this is not a RoboHelp-wide problem. How do I fix it?

I recently noticed that my HTML5 output wasn't working on iPhone, iPad, and macOS Safari.First I thought something was wrong with my own scripts, but after some digging, I found that it's a bug in the native RH JS files.That means that none of your HTML5 RoboHelp projects will work properly on current iPhones, iPads, and Macs (= devices running iOS 10 or macOS Sierra).This is a major bug that should be addressed as soon as possible. The bug has already been filed by Alexandra Duffy one month ago, but it is still "Unverified": Bug#4192629 - Safari 10 update has caused HTML5 Help from RH to stop working​.Luckily enough, Edward Doris has already posted a bugfix in the above bug report. It seems to solve the problem on all devices. However, implementing the bugfix requires advanced JS knowledge.Please provide an official bugfix as soon as possible.

I just applied the 2015.0.4 update to Robohelp 2015 and I generated my project to test the content filtering... I'm finding that the filtering seems to work fine in topics, but in the Table of Contents it's not working anymore. To be fair, I can't say with certainty that this is an effect of the update, but this was working before in the recent past, and now I find that it is not, so it may or may not be related.Anyone else have any trouble with this?I'll give an example to show how mine is failing:TOC and Topic with tagging:Here it is in the Responsive HTML5 output with a filter applied:Three of those TOC items should be filtered out to only show Windows Server 2008 topics.I found this while trying to test some other new tags and filters, and came back to these that I knew were working before.

Hi,I don't have any source files. I just have the WebHelp folder only. This link Reverse Engineering  did not do much help as i have more than 200 files or topics.And each file has hyperlink and cross-references which are not working.My actual concern is the webhelp that I have is not compatible to IE edge. I found a .js but for that i need to generate the output again. For that I need to open my project file.I saw a good way to open a .chm file in RH and edit it.Can someone please help me out.

Hi All,Today I saw that in my output of HTML5 Help, the filter icon is displayed in the navigation bar, even though I'm not using filters. Previously, this icon wasn't displayed; as far as I can see, it shall be hidden if not used. I know that the filter icon is displayed, if I run into a "too many recursions" error with my merged project (this happens, if my Index gets too large), but then, the index isn't working and the search doesn't stop trying to load. Now, the output is working, even though the filter icon is displayed.As of today (or maybe a couple of days before), the filter icon (empty) is even displayed in the output of a single project, i.e. not large, not merged, nothing the like. Everything still worked fine on October 5th; no filter icon displayed in the merged project. Since then I haven't changed my output settings or anything; just a few minor spelling corrections and index shortenings.The icon is displayed in Google Chrome, Firefox, and IE 11.Does anyone know if ther

Hi, all.I need to download HTML Help project files from a slow server through a slow network connection.Unfortunately, the directory on the server contains every discarded working file, every source file, etc., etc. -- dozens if not hundreds of unnecessary files.There used to be a way to package just the working project files for a help project -- but waas it maybe ForeHelp that provided such a handy feature?Anyway, I need to do this now with RoboHelp 11 so I can download just the files needed for my project.How do I do this?Thanks!

Hi, I have some folders in Project Manager that contain several topics that are not in the Table of Contents, and have been hidden from searching. The topics are therefore not included in the generated output. However an empty folder is created in the output. Is it possible to hide this folder from the output as well? Any advice would be appreciated.

Hoping someone has ran into a similar issue, but afraid this may be too specific to my situation.I generated a project to Responive HTML 5 output and need to move the files onto a server so that the project can be linked to my company's website. But, I can't copy over the template and scripts (whxdata) folders. I can move everything else except these folders and each time I try it, I get an error message that says I need permission to move the folder. I have Admin rights to the server I'm copying to, so I don't know why it's restricting me.Is there a way around this or to fix this? Thank you for any advice/help you can provide.

hi first of all thanks for looking im looking to create or download a tool if it exists where you can type in your registration to obtain your car details much the same as this one http://www.quantumtuning.co.uk/vehicle-details.aspx?vrm=kf05llu&ref=Quantum%20Tuning please can any one advise would be of great help

I have renamed a folder in Project Manager in RoboHelp 11. A folder with the new name has been created, but the original folder still exists in Project Manager but not on disk. It contains a sub folder with an "h" icon, which I suspect is why I cannot delete it. The project is one of three child projects in a parent/child environment. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Sorry, but can't find an answer to this.How do I change the background colour of the "Filter Keywords" text box in the Index for desktop-view when using HTML5? It's always black....and I mean instead of manually modifying the main.css file from the template folder.

Hi - Can anyone help me on this please? Originally posted 24th August but no replies.ThanksHi,I am using responsive HTML5 help in Robohelp 2015. There is an option for users to tick a box for all search words for an AND search otherwise the default is OR.Can this be set as default - so that the box is automatically ticked for an AND search?There isn't an option for this so I guess it will require a code change but I haven't manage to locate the code yet.Thanks* I see the same question has been asked for Robohelp 11 but the solution given doesn't seem to work for Robohelp 2015.http://forums.adobe.com/message/7733536#7733536

Hi, all. I'm using RH 11 in a Win 7 environment.My project has two TOCs, one huge and one small. I want to generate a PDF for the small one.In the Project Manager, I selected the smaller TOC and designated it the Defaul. Still, when I select Generate/PDF Output, I get a PDF for the immense TOC.What am I missing?Thanks.

RH11, Windows 7 EnterpriseProblem: Deployed webhelp toc has duplicate and deleted pages.Background: Our development team pushes Help from our Atlassian bitbucket server to QA test, user test acceptance (uat), and production release, to add it to our product. Same Help file and product for over a year. Found after production. I see it was also in uat, but we missed it.  We're in the next QA test cycle now, and the issue isn't seen, but I need to make sure it's fixed.Image: Contents pages under Students Module were duplicated under Groups Module, and the Groups Module pages were gone.  Where issue was/is not seen:Does not appear in today's QA test deployment.Did not appear in a previous standalone webhelp published to an internal server. Did not appear within my project. Files are fine, output is good.Here's some things that occur to me, but I don't know how to check them:Some developers are new. Is there an error they could have made in the deployment?If bitbucket went offline

Hi,I have a project in RH 11, i.e. 11.0.4.291, and I generated a Responsive HTML5 output.Inside the Responsive HTML5 output, when I search a word, I am given also the htm files names where that word is appearing, and not the topic names.This does not look so "nice" as it would if the results would be just the topic names.Is there a switch or setting that would enable my search to return only the topic name, w/o the htm file reference?Thank you

I want to buy RoboHelp 11, is the cost incurred of it is one-time cost or reoccurring cost. Please guide on that.
