RoboHelp

In RoboHelp 11 can  you point the External Search at an existing index from another application?  i.e. SharePoint or a Content Management/version control tool?  The project I'm working on has other supporting doc's that I don't want to have to link to, but instead include them in search.  I'll have them listed in an appendix but I don't want the users to have to dig through a ton of doc's to find what they're looking for.  I'm hoping I can present this project and if the user searches for a function that isn't listed, that we can pull the information from an existing document.Thanks for your help!Jeff

I do not see an option for URLs to display in Search Results. This is the behavior our users are asking for:  If a URL (I've got the link in a topic) would display in the search results, the user could then click on the link to take them to that external site. There is no option to display URLs in search results in the WebHelp or HTML5 publishing options. My users don't want to have to click a link to take them to an html topic and then have to click again on the URL to get to the external site. They want to be able to see the URL in the search results, click and go immediately to the site. I even turned on external site searching but didn't see anything in the results. Perhaps I'm not doing it right. This has never been an issue before on any other project that I've developed. Is there anything I can do to give them what they want?Deb

Gostaria de saber quais as diferenças que a versão 11 do robohelp tem referente ao 10 e quais as vantagens dessa nova versão.

I use RoboHelp 10, when opening the CHM file in Windows 10, I get the message at the top: "This webpage might not be displayed properly. The content of the webpage does not match the type specified by the server." What is the cause and what needs to be done?Message was edited by: Rick Stone - Clarified thread title

How flexible is robohelp with design? Most of the sites I came accross look pretty much the same. Does anyone know of a help site that has some creativity in it?

Adobe Customer Support tells me that RoboHelp version 9 is no longer updated and that I need to ask on this forum if there is any solution to the problems of Cross-Site Scripting vulnerabilities (discovered by the IT group's scanning our web app that includes the WebHelp generated by RoboHelp). There are problems with these two JavaScript files:  whphost.js and whutils.js. If there are not any updates to the product, does anyone have a recommendation for handling these vulnerabilities? Does anyone know of any work-arounds?

Hello everyone.What I have:RoboHelp 10.A highly-customized Multi-Screen HTML5 layout/profile.Several thousand HTML topics with basic markup (full of topic content like headings, text, and images) divided across hundreds of windows folders in a hierarchy.What I want to do:Import all of these topics into my project without manually adding all the folders and importing files folder-by-folder.Do this again in the future, since new folders and topics are added frequently, and we do not work in Robohelp (we create the files in a text editor because we don't like Robohelp's text editor or what it does to the code in the source files).I've tested importing about a dozen topics in different folders to make sure everything works and I'm quite pleased with the result. As far as I understand, Robohelp is not aware of the folders/files in your project folder, and does not have a feature to batch import. Adding new files manually for every version just isn't an option.Is there any way to do what I w

I am using Robohelp 9 and recently had a system crash and loss the structure of my project. Thankfully all the files were still in the original folder structure so I was able to rebuild by importing the original topics. The only thing that didn't import over was all my PDF documents. I tried deleting the original folder in the Project Mgr, adding a new folder and importing the PDF documents but they don't appear any where in the project manager. The system allows me to import the documents and I see a little status bar of the documents importing into Robohelp but where do they go?When I compile and genearte output the system does not create a folder with the documents in the final output directory and ofcourse the original links to the documents are now broken.any help would be apprecaited.

The only training types I see for RoboHelp (any version) are classroom and "live classroom," which are taken during work hours.Has anyone seen a training class that can be taken at your own pace, and at your own schedule?

Hi,This morning I compiled WebHelp and opened it in FireFox (FF) 35. The left pane with the TOC panel is blank. Index and search are blank, too. This appears to be an issue with FF 35. Help will open in FF 34 without any issues. Help also opens in IE and Chrome without problems. I tested this on multiple machines and both versions of FF. None of my RH or FF settings were changed. The only difference was the FF auto update yesterday.  Does anyone have any idea how this can be fixed?Thanks,Tammy

Hi all. I want to add a text pop up when the user clicks on a certain part of an image, but I can only add one on the entire image. How do I do this please?

When I delete a token how can I find out later in the code, that I already deleted it - before I save!There exists a Token.delete() function but e.g. no Token.isDeleted().

Hi,I am running RH 11 (installed in Program Files x86) on a Win 7 (64 bit) machine.  I have just created a brand new project with a lot of folders/subfolders and only one Welcome topic.  This project compiles just fine using the RoboHelp GUI.  However, when I run RHCL from the command prompt, it refuses to run.Here are the details of the command and results:from c:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe RoboHelp 11\RoboHTMLc:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe RoboHelp 11\RoboHTML>rhcl "c:\knowledgecenter\knowledgecenter.xpj" -l "WebHelp"Adobe (R) RoboHelp Project Command Line Compiler version 11.0.4.291Copyright (C) 2006-2007, Adobe Systems Incorporated and its licensors.

First of all, thanks to everyone who offered suggestions to help with my bullet-spacing problem; I think I've got it solved.However, when I view said bulleted items using the View Selected Item button, the bulleted items appear far more indented than they are in the compiled version. The compiled version actually resembles what I see in the workspace. For what it's worth, here's the HTML:  <p class="WD_BodyText">There is some text here:</p> <ul style="list-style: square;">                 <ul style="list-style: square;">                                 <li><p class="WD_Normal" style="margin-left: 5px; margin-top: 0px;                  &nb

RH 11 WebhelpThank youProblemI installed custom fonts and they mostly work. One topic didn't display correctly, so I tried to tweak the new font code using the RH css editor and then the HTML Editor. However, these attempts overwrote the notepad.exe css, such as removing font names. It seems like using notepad.exe is the only way to add additional code to the css (shown in step 5). How can I straighten things out?Here are the steps leading up to the problem1. Downloaded and extracted the google fonts.2. Double-clicked each font separately and installed it to the computer.3. Added each font family as a baggage file.4. Using notepad.exe, edited the css fonts.5.  Added this code to notepad.exe css to fix a Chrome bug that prevented displaying the new fonts:@-webkit-keyframes fontfix {  from: "{" "opacity:" 1;};body {  font-family: Roboto;  font-size: 11px;  color: #000000;  margin: 10px 16px auto;}body {  -webkit-animation-delay: 0.1s;  -webkit-anim

I have a merged Responsive HTML5 WebHelp project in RoboHelp 11, which I've published to SharePoint. I am seeing some confusing behavior when using the search functionality within the WebHelp. In particular:With Chrome.......If I enter a single word without quotation marks in the search window, I get a page of results. If I open any one of those results, the term that I searched for is highlighted. This is how I would expect the search functionality to work.If I enter a two-word phrase within quotation marks, I get a page of results, but the search term is not highlighted when I open one of the results.With IE11 (which I think is a lost cause for other reasons!)......I get the right number of search results, but the search term is not highlighted regardless of whether or not I use quotation marks. This pretty much renders the search functionality useless.Any advice?

I like the combination of the Theme 1 Standard screen layout and the low profile CHM, but I can't seem to find a way to apply that layout when publishing/generating the output. Anyone have a clue? I've included a screenshot of what I'm referring to. THANKS!

I have a large document that I'd like to format using multilevel lists. There are several areas where numbered list items have more than one paragraph. For each list item, the subsequent paragraphs need to be properly aligned with the first paragraph. Other than manually specifying the indent for the subsequent paragraphs, is there any way to use the Multilevel List feature in the css? I thought I could create an alternate Multilevel List that had the same levels but no list style, but RoboHelp doesn't seem to allow a blank in the 'Edit Style' field.Any ideas?

Window focus is not working if the output is already opened in the new window. This works in chrome. But not in Firefox/IE. Can you please help me with this? Thanks

Can I update/replace an entire topic somehow?Background: I have a word main doc with links to sub-docs. For RH usage all sub-docs have to be merged to one main word-file (otherwise RH reports an error) before. Then I import the big main wordfile into RH which creates all topics (and images, index,..).If I later want to change just one sub-doc I have to redo all the previous steps?!How can I import just such a sub-doc to RH and then replace in the main-RH file (including all the image, links)?

I have a FM/RoboHelp (Microsoft HTML Help) project. It works like a dream locally. However, when I upload the project to our web server, it no longer runs and an error message displays that says, "web page canceled." What could possibly be wrong? How can I get my project to work on our remote web server?

There is too large a gap between the numbers and the text in my numbered lists; I can't find anywhere on the .css file to set this value. Can this be done?thanks,Lon

Hello, I'm using Robohelp 10 and Word 2010, both products are installed locally on a legal copy of Windows 7 Enterprise. Robohelp is current as I checked for updates yesterday. I have tried many different help projects ranging from 10-2000 topics with the same results. I have deleted the PSS files first, and see the same results.Starting Robohelp and double-clicking Printed Documentation results in this error message ( I also see the same message when generating WebHelp however the compile is always successful):After clicking ok the Print Document General screen appears, the same message pops up, and all drop-down menus are blank:It is possible to continue clicking Next after manually entering the location and file name.After arriving at the final screen, I am able to click Save and Generate with no further errors,However nothing happens except the word Ready appears in the status bar.If anyone has encountered this before or knows where I might find a solution posted previously I would

Hi guys,Perhaps someone can help. I have a book created in FM12 with multiple files and a properly configured TOC with 2 levels. I have linked the Frame book, updated the Frame files, imported the Frame TOC file and checked that all the single source settings are correct. However RH11 fails to create/populate the TOC. The HTML files are created just not the TOC. Zilch. Nadda.Any words of wisdom?Thanks,Andy
