RoboHelp Unique Identifier

I just watched the RoboHelp video and I have a question about how each topic is uniquely identified. We need to link help topics to our UI and cannot use a URL-based identifier as our titles often change and many URL-based solutions build the URL using the topic title.

How to add numbering to a cross reference?

Hey everyone, We have a breadth of documentation made in Word. We are moving over to RoboHelp and want to match the currenty style guide. This is how our documentation generally looks:I don't see any good way to recreate this using cross references in RoboHelp. I could change the figure caption to "Figure 33 - Add Button" but then it wouldn't automatically number and take care of everything. Is there any way to make cross-references look like this?

Multilevel List ‘NestedNumbering’ not outputting to Word Document correctly

Multilevel nested numbering is not outputting to Word correctly. Numbering starts over at each level but maintains paragraph indentation. Is this is a bug? If not how do you achieve the correct output? Following example created in a new project with default settings: Appearance in Robohelp 2022  Update 3:Output in Word<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <!DOCTYPE html> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <meta name="generator" content="Adobe RoboHelp 2022" /> <title>First Topic</title> <meta name="topic-status" content="Draft" /> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="assets/css/default.css" /> </head> <body> <h1>First Topic</h1> <h2>Section 1</h2> <ol class="NestedNumbering"> <li>Enter text here.</li> <li>Enter text here. <ol&

Studio frameless output Mobile home page header link not is working...

Using Robohelp 2022.3.93 and Studio frameless output. The mobile home page header link is not working but the desktop home page header link does work. The issue as I see it in development mode is: In edit mode, the mobile home page header links "container" correctly displays the "red bounding box" to show which item is being edited. No problem here and an icon image is added without issue. When attempting to edit the mobile home page header links "item" the "red bounding box" does not display; whereas it does diplay as expected in the desktop home page header links "item" edit view. I cannot set the mobile home page header link hotspot for the custom home page link icon without access to the mobile home page header link "item" that does not display the "red bounding box" in edit mode. The the mobile home page header link "item" position is key to setting the hotspot focus boundry for firing the mobile home page header link at runtime when the use

embed Microsoft Mind Map

I have tried multiple ways to embed a downloaded MS Mind Map (html file).  The map embeds and functions as expected, but the problem is that no matter how I try to embed it, the map does not display on its own but rather as a topic page with a header, and table of contents... I have embeded using embed code as local file, web page, and as iframe directly into the page.  I've also tried embedding into a snippet, but each of them displays a topic page in the iframe.  I captured the attached screenshot before the map loaded.  This image was using "embed local file".  The html file is stored on a network drive but not in project folder. Any thoughts on why this is happening?

CHM File Not Displaying Correctly in Hosted Environment

I use RoboHelp to generate a .chm (Microsoft HTML Help) used in our application's on-premise and hosted environment. Recently, we have been slowly moving users to a new hosted environment (GoGlobal), and those users have been reporting issues with the online help file. Namely, content properties such as font and headers are not what they should be, and internal links to images display an error message. See below:We are finding that hosted users in the old environment (Remote Desktop) are not experiencing this issue.  Can this be resolved in RoboHelp? Should I be exporting a different file? Or should I pass this along to the team migrating the users to the new hosted environment?  Any feedback is appreciated!

Robohelp messes up CSS

Hi,  Using version: 2020.8.34 I've noticed that Robohelp messes up my custom CSS upon generation in certain scenarios.So I have a custom CSS file that is included in the masterpage. When editing this within Robohelp it looks good but when the generation of the project is done the CSS gets messed up.I haven't pinpointed exactly when this happens but it looks like Robohelp have a issue with parsing CSS that contains ">" (directly nested elements).As an example I have this CSS in my file:  table > tbody > tr:last-child > th, table > tbody > tr:last-child > td { border-bottom: none; }  Now the result of that in the generated CSS looks like this:  .RH-LAYOUT-CENTERPANEL-topic-box> tr:last-child > th, .RH-LAYOUT-FOOTER-container> tr:last-child > th, .RH-LAYOUT-CENTERPANEL-topic-box> tr:last-child > td, .RH-LAYOUT-FOOTER-container> tr:last-child > td { border-bottom: none; }  As you c

How to change cross-reference preview

I'm making use of cross-references that include the page number of the referenced target for a PDF publication. My question is, how do I change the sentence (see ... on page) to match the project language?  In French, for example, I'd like to see to 'Voir X, page N'. I cannot seem to find the language label for this. Thanks in advance.

Issue with Reverse-Engineered Robohelp File

Hi,Our team recently re-created a RoboHelp project using reverse engineering. We imported the output files into a new project, generated and shared the WebHelp for release. For that release, our team didn't have much time to rebuild the Help. What I mean to say is with very limited time, we could only do the following:1. Applied master pages to few of the topics, the rest of the topics didn't have any master pages selected. Although, this was not required because we were importing the output files that already had the defined master page for each topic with breadcrumb, feedback and print features, as well as the relevant style. The appearance of each topic remained intact.2.Nonetheless, we recreated the master pages to the extent that was possible so that we could apply back to the topics when we had the time. Initially, the master pages only had placeholder text and the relevant styles applied. We still needed to add back the breadcrumb placeholder, print and feedback buttons.3.

Update 3 gives warning project will be updated.

I just installed Update 3 of RoboHelp (2022 Release). When I go to open my project, I'm getting a prompt to upgrade it. Nothing I've read about Update 3 suggests that this was going to occur. Is this a valid message...that I need to upgrade my project from 2022.1.0.188, which I believe was Update 1 of RoboHelp (2022 Release), to 2022.3.93? I had already upgraded my RoboHelp Classic Project from RoboHelp 2015 to RoboHelp 2022, so was leary on proceeding since I can't find anything that says this was going to happen. I've searched the Abode Community and the internet in general and cannot find an answer to my question. Thank you!

Why font size is different in my CHM file?

I am facing exact issue with RoboHelp 2020 version. Please help to resolve this at the earliest as it is affecting my project deliverables.    Moderator - Post branched to a new thread as this version is very different to the version for the rest of the thread. The issue is the output font is incorrect. ________________________________________________________ My site www.grainge.org includes many free Authoring and RoboHelp resources that may be of help.

Applying style sheet to Responsive and Word output

Hi,I am new to Robohelp 2022 (was using Robohelp 2017 for some time) and I upgraded a project from RH 2017 to 2022 lately.In 2017 it was possible to apply a stylesheet to a topic and then in the output (I used Responsive and Word as my main outputs) you were able to apply another stylesheet which was then overwriting the stylesheet applied to the topics.This gave me the opportunity to have one main stylesheet (for the topics, that covered everything) and then - depending on the output - other stylesheets that overwrite only certain styles. So both outputs used for ~80% of the styles the same style and the rest was individualized (per output).I was wondering how to do that in RH 2022 as I did not find the possibility to apply a stylesheet to an output preset - especially word seems to have now "only" the option to do a word style mapping.

Topic status indicator?

I've used other CMS and they have the option to show, sort, filter, and update topic status (draft, in review, complete...) using a colored indicator icon in the authoring area.  I can't find similar functionality in RoboHelp, does this exist?  I'm not referring to reports, but rather a colored icon next to the topic in the author pane. If this doesn't exist, can it be added to the feature request list?

published file trims right edge of images

I have multiple images that I want to show 1200px wide. The image shows perfectly in RoboHelp topic page, but no matter how I size them or how I change the attributes, the image gets trimmed on the published page.  I have no padding or margins, no special layout format. In the attached image, I added a border to show the size the image should be, but it gets cut off.  Regardless of image size size, it trims in the same location on the pictures.

We're still trying out RH2022 and learning, bit by bit, but can anyone direct us to information regarding the Assets folder? I tried searching the Adobe site, but not finding what I need. Thanks!

If a bug, any suggestions for a workaround?I am using RH 2020.6.76

RH 2022: Search & Replace Content in HTML View

Last question of the day... Outside of using an external tool, is there a way to search and replace tags in HTML view? For example, is there a way to change all instances of  <H2>Sample Text</H2> to something like <H23>Sample Text</H3>. Seems that the native search and replace feature only replaces topic content, and not the underlying code.
