Hi,Currently I am using WebHelp output and the breadcrumb feature is available. But in Responsive HTML 5 output, there is no option to add breadcrumb links. Is there any other work around to add breadcrumb links in Responsive HTML 5 output?Thank you!Kshitija

The TOC navigation behavior in RH 2015 HTML5 is confusing to some of our application users. I need the TOC to be in "Book" view like "Clean Tangerine" in WebHelp. Is there another layout other than Azure Blue & Charcoal grey that support Book-view TOC?

Hi all,We're using a responsive HTML5 output for our help and I noticed there are no accessibility 508 options in the output like there are for WebHelp outputs. I don't see much within the Adobe Community about it unless I've missed something in my search (entirely possible!). Is anyone making responsive HTML5 output 508 compliant? If so, do you have any guidance on how and best practices? Many thanks for any time & help,Scottie Gearing

I tried searching the forums, but couldn't find anything related. I apologize if this is a recurring item... I have just started using build tags for topic contents, and I generate a WebHelp system. I have a procedure (numbered list) that among other things contains a list of popups (field descriptions). When I apply a build tag to the text below the popup links, the last popup no longer works. I tried inserting som text (withut build tag) below the popup link, but this doesn't help. I have checked the HTML code in TrueCode, and the build tag does indeed start after the popup link. Has anyone encountered this problem before? Is there a way to avoid it? Regards, Rannveig Østevik

(Please forgive the lack of technical terms you are about to read.)In November (somehow) saved my project with a different name (I can't remember if I "Renamed Project" or if I just changed the Output Folder and Start Page).  After doing this I no longer have the xpj file for the new file. I have made substantial weekly updates to the new file without realizing the xpj file was not being generated. (The Language, Screen Layout, Skin Sub Folders are also not generating.)  How do I get an xpj file to generate for the NEW project? (If I could get the other files to generate again as well that would be fantastic too...but right now I am mainly concerned with the xpj file.)When I open the "old" xpj file I am able to see the most recent edits to the "New" file. No one else is able to open the old xpj file from any other computer though. (Which is the goal.)As you can see from the image the old file and the new file appear differently.Thank you very much, in advance, for your time a

I would like to add the solid right pointing arrow to the symbol list, but cannot figure out a way to do this. Any help would be appreciated.Thanks,MDawn

My user cannot see the contents or search in the left panel but others can. I have had this issue before and I thought it was an active x or java issue.  We are using HTML 7.

Need training recommendations for learning how to optimize RoboHelp 11 features and employ "best practices" (if there are any) for our content development efforts. Our output is WebHelp. We use basic features such as pop-ups, links to external docs. We author inside RoboHelp.We want to make efficient use of RoboHelp features, but do not know where to start. Docs/training tell us what the features do, but finding little guidance on which features we might want to use to get certain outcomes. Here are some of our questions:We have several images that we reuse in different projects, but would rather "share" our images between projects, but don't know how.We struggle with providing paper review copies for other departments (compliance, legal, etc.) who need to approve content.What are the benefits of the other output choices for our users (a busy call center)?We only use pop-ups, what would the benefits or "Best Practices" be for using the text or snippets?We don't get the benefits of bagg

Hi all,I'm somewhat new to RoboHelp and I need your help in managing monospace fonts and different types of fixed spaces in code samples.To be more specific: I have several code lines that display wonderful in FrameMaker 10 when set in a monospace font, such as Courier New or Lucida Console, as you can see below:However, as soon as I import them in RoboHelp 9.0.1.262, it looks like the the fixed character width miraculously vanishes and no matter what other monospace font I use, the result is pretty much the same, i.e. the lines (and "faux columns") are no longer aligned:I tried using the Frame object via Insert > HTML > Frame > Frame, but the result is exactly the same.Moreover, when I try to tweak the space amount by replacing the regular blank "&#160" with (fixed) en-dash spaces " " or hairspaces " " in the HTML source, as shown belowit looks like RH is not able to recognize the codes:So, did anyone face a similar challenge? Any idea about how to fix

Good afternoon.In January 2013 I found a problem, which appeared to be a known issue, that content in popup windows would not appear in Printed Documentation. As a result, I changed all popup windows to drop-down text.We have been asked to consider using popup windows again and so I did a quick test in RoboHelp 2015. The problem still appears to exist. I added a popup window to some text, generated Printed Documentation, and found that the popup window has no hyperlink and, therefore, no associated content.This is a problem for two reasons:We often generate Printed Documentation of the Help for our reviewers (they prefer to review in Word).We are considering moving to single-sourcing some day. But, if RoboHelp ignores the content in the popup windows when generating Printed Documentation, we would be single-sourcing incomplete content.Do any of you have any experience with this problem? Is it possibly user error on my part?Thanks for any assistance you can provide.Carol

Hi!I've just finished making my first project within RoboHelp, and everything is looking good apart from where I'm struggling to make one change:How do I stop expanded topic books closing when a new topic is opened?At the moment I have several topics and subtopics, and I want expanded topic trees to remain expanded even if a subtopic in another topic is viewed.I'm using the "Desktop_Knowledge" built in screen layout, so will I need to change the HTML for the buttons on the screen layout editor?Thank you for any help!Adam

Hi,Can you please let me know how to generate WebHelp with file extension .html for files like, "whgbody.htm", "cshdat_robohelp.htm" etc. I am using RoboHelp HTML9.Regards,Prashant

Hi again,I'm getting ready to customise the Azure Blue template in RH2015 for a Responsive HTML output. I want the Next and Back buttons to be visible, and I assume I must add a Browse Sequence. I thought these buttons already had a Browse Sequence, but the buttons do not appear in the generated output.Can someone please tell me where I can find the Browse Sequence Editor in RH2015 and also steer me in the direction of a site that will tell me how to create a Browse Sequence? I've been searching for hours and can't find a site that will help me.Thanks!Pam

Hello,Is it possible to rename or duplicate a CSH map file in RoboHelp 11 HTML? I have been working on a project which uses a CSH map file called "WebHelp_CSH_10_17_2015.h" - it includes the date in the map file name. I want to change or remove this date from the map file name. Can this be done in the RoboHelp UI? (If so, I can't figure out how to do it).FYI, I tried going directly to the project files in Windows Explorer, copy/pasting the map file and renaming it there to get rid of the date. Then I imported the renamed map file into my project in the RoboHelp UI, but when I opened its Edit Map IDs modal, I found that none of the map IDs were copied along with the file and it seemed that they would have to be recreated (my project has over 520 IDs that would have to be recreated).It seems like a CSH map file name cannot be changed after the map file is created and that the map file cannot be duplicated - that any changes at that level required a brand new map file to be created and al

Hi RoboHelp Community!My name is Scottie and our team is working with RoboHelp 15 generating Responsive HTML5 help. Our software's installer picks up our compiled help files nightly and we test our files using different web browsers (Chrome, Firefox, and IE). We noticed help updates were not always showing up until we reloaded or refreshed the the browser page.We cannot force users to manually refresh/reload and our developer recommended adding the following to the html:<meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="max-age=0" /><meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="no-cache" /><meta http-equiv="expires" content="0" /><meta http-equiv="expires" content="Tue, 01 Jan 1980 1:00:00 GMT" />This works, but I'm not sure if:A. Do or can we create a master page with this code and then apply it to each page in our projects?B. Anyone else has had a similar issue? If so, how did you resolve it?!Thanks for any time and help!Scottie Gearing

We're running RoboHelp v10, but would upgrade if needed in order to integrate with SF...

How do I delete defunct "Shared Locations" from the Insert>Image>Resource Manager>Select Image File dialog? Also, I know that shared locations become invalid whenever the project or image directory gets relocated, but I swear I've seen it "just happen" for no apparent reason, no reason apparent to me anyway.

I'm using RH2015 and  can't figure out why a recently created project won't display the ToC when it is opened on our website.It opens just fine in my browser (IE11).Thanx!Lon
