Question

After compiling, I can't see the (new) topic...

I am using RH 8 HTML, I use WebHelp as my primary layout on Windows XP.

I created a new topic, saved it, compiled it, but then I can't see it on the topics list on the left once I've generated my project.  What's going on?  Can someone please help me?

Thank you.

Creating a new topic does not automatically add it to the TOC, you have to do that. RH cannot know whether or not you want a topic in the TOC.

Peter, thanks.  Please forgive me, it's been a loooong while since I've done this.  Most of the time I'm just updating existing topics, and I did try to manually add this, and I tried to find the answer here on the forums, but I did not.  Could you please tell me how to do this?  Also, is there a way to automatically get the topics added whenever I create a new one?  Thank you.

Just drag the topic from the topic list to where you want it in the TOC.

You cannot get RH to auto add new topics but you can autogenerate a complete TOC by right clicking in the TOC editor. It might not be structured how you want it though.
