Hi,

Can you please let me know how to generate WebHelp with file extension .html for files like, "whgbody.htm", "cshdat_robohelp.htm" etc.

I am using RoboHelp HTML9.

Regards,

Prashant

This is a fairly regular question but Search doesn't seem to find it.

I believe many of Rh's internal workings in the output rely on the extension being HTM. Changing their extension would thus break the help.

WebHelp from Rh9 is unlikely to work properly in modern browsers so do test your work.

Hi Peter,

By the following statement, do you suggest that we must upgrade RoboHelp 9 with latest RoboHelp version?

"WebHelp from Rh9 is unlikely to work properly in modern browsers so do test your work."

Will upgrading RoboHelp resolve the multiple browser support issue?

Regards,

Prashant

Yes, multiple version of TCS can exist on the same machine EXCEPT – for Acrobat – it doesn’t play nice with multiple versions, so stick to uninstalling it from the older version & reinstalling it in the newest version.


I think installing the later version uninstalls the previous one.
