Dear Sir,

I am using robohelp 7 and my project output is Webhelp, my problem is that I need to put a link of an external html file in my the project TOC.

and as long as this external file is modified in its originial project, the modification should be displayed every where it is attached.

putting an hyperlink of this project inside the topic is OK but putting the hyperlink in the TOC is the problem.

thank you..

Hi there

Should be pretty simple and straightforward.

Add a page and configure it to point to the file.

Thank your for your reply but you did not get what I meant.

my file is an Html file that is created in robohelp in a different project.

Thanks for the reminder that this question in the webhelp category is about webhelp.We may have been around a few years but the memory ain't that bad yet.

Rick has answered the question. The TOC entry needs the path to the external topic. That can either be the server address or the relative path from the root of the output from Project 1. It may not work from the source but it should be OK from the published help.

Remember the external topic will not be found by a search from Project 1.

See www.grainge.org for RoboHelp and Authoring tips


hi again,

I do not know from where exactly the path of the required topic should start. I am saving project locally and publishing the project in a server side location. I tried the path as :-

"merged project/project 1/topic.html"

and published every thing but it did not work, I cannot find the topic in the main TOC

thanks
