Customizing the Home/Root/Top option for breadcrumbs.

[Guest]

Hi:

I want to know if there's a way to customize the "Home Page Name" text in the dialog for formatting Breadcrumb Options. The pull-down menu lists three options: Home, Root and Top. I want to have my custom text, but I see no way to disable the "Home Page Name" text and supply one in the "Label" text field.

Example: I would like the breadcrumb to say "MyDoc > Book Blah > Topic Bleh" rather than " Home > Book Blah > Topic Bleh". Any thoughts?

Thanks,

K

Hi,

If you use Robo7, or Robo8 and add the breadcrumbs from the WebHelp navigation dialog, do the following:

In the WebHelp dialog (when you select File | Generate primary layout / File | Generate | Primary Layout) you can check to add breadcrumbs. Click the Format button, and in the field Home Page Name, select another name from the list, or type your own.

There's probably a way when you use Breadcrumbs placeholder, but I don't use that.

Thanks Willam. That worked. Who would have thought one could type something in a pull-down menu!

Yes, you can even type in your own "pipe" symbols in place of or in addition to the default ">" symbol. I found that out when I tried to distinguish our ">" signs (which we use as a convention for paths) by giving it: " => " format. The default was too cramped: "text>more text".
