Indigo layout index has keywords and subkeywords at same level

I'm using the Indigo HTML 5 layout in RH2017. The index in my help project contains keywords and subkeywords. However, the subkeywords are listed at the same level as the keyword. This causes the index to look like it's in non-alphabetical order, because it's not clear to the user which are keywords or subkeywords.

Here is a screenshot with the Indigo layout:

And here is the same index in a CHM output. The subkeywords are at a different level.

Is there a way to reproduce the CHM-style nesting of the index with the Indigo layout?

Hi Stewic,

Did the update 2 for RoboHelp 2017 fix the problem for you? I just installed the update and regenerated...my index is still not indenting for the Indigo layout.

You have to import the layout again. It does not correct things in your

existing layout.

I'm sorry Peter, I'm not following when you say "you have to import the layout again." I tried creating a new HTML5 Indigo layout but that didn't do the trick.

Please see the thread at How to control fomatting used on WebHelp Index tab?

I will lock this thread to keep all the answers in one thread. Post there if what is there does not help.

I have unlocked this thread as there is a key difference, you are generating an HTML5 layout and the other thread is about WebHelp.

Nonetheless, check the other thread first. Also try importing the Indigo layout again and giving it a different name such as Indigo 2.

Post back to say solved or report that it is still an issue.

Have you explored the correct answer in the other thread? Because this problem is only affecting some users, it is the most likely solution.

Do you have another machine that is not used for RoboHelp where you could install the trial version and Service Release 4 to see what happens then?

@petergrainge


I've just installed the trial version on a new machine, updated Robohelp to update 1, and tested it with a sample project and Indigo layout, and I still see this issue.
