If I embed media (MP4) in my HTML5-based project, RH11 uses the <object> tag with many parameters not supported by HTML5. Really?

Ultimately, I would like to have a "Show Me" link which, when clicked, would reveal a small window displaying an MP4 video.

Why does RoboHelp use unsupported syntax for this?

This is because in the editor, RoboHelp uses XHTML 4.01 which is translated to HTML5 when you output to HTML5. - <object> is still supported in HTML5, though some of the attributes you're using may not.

Please file a bug report with Adobe: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform&product=38

As a workaround, you can also embed a youtube video instead of embedding he MP4 directly.

Kind regards,
