I am creating page-sensitive help for a web-based application
using RoboHelp HTML X5.0.2. The developers have provided me with a
.HH file with each map ID in the following format: #define
Add_Provider_Type_page dlgAddProviderType
I import the .HH into the RoboHelp project, but when I select
it in the Edit Map ID dialog box, the Map ID box is blank. Any idea
why? Is it necessary to have a numeric map #?
The normal format is to have a numeric ID, something like:
#define ID_WHATEVER 111222. I just tried putting other text in
place of the numbers and RoboHelp didn't like it - even text that
had been defined as numbers earlier in the .hh file. Anything
without a numeric value was not seen in the dialog.
I do use an old version of RoboHelp. So your results may
vary.
Thank you for your help. I suspected that was the problem.
However, when I changed some of the entries in the .HH file to
include a number, those entries still did not show up in dialog
box.
I guess I must go back to developers and plead for them to
use map numbers rather than the developer-assigned page name.
If you changed the .hh file manually (as in using Notepad),
you may need to close the project in RoboHelp and reopen it for the
modified .hh file to show up.
