Multiple Layouts, TOCs & Browse Sequences

[Pinkepunk]

Hi,

we came across the following

problem: We created a multilingual HTML Help project (V 7.01, CHM output) where topics sometimes / often have the same name, because they refer to dialogs in a not-localized (English-based) application:

Book English
Dialog 01
Dialog 02
....
Book German
Dialog 01
Dialog 02
...
Book French
Dialog 01
Dialog 02
....

We then tagged the books with

Tag1 = English
Tag2=German
Tag3=French

and defined corresponding layouts

HTML_Help_English
HTML_Help_German
HTML_Help_French

We also defined three TOCs

English User Help
German User Help
French User Help

apart from the standard TOC (which contains all books). We then 'batch generate' the CHM files, which works fine, at least for the TOC and contents. The problem is that the browse sequence can only be based on one of the TOCs (see dialog sequence editor in RH). As a consequence we can't use the batch generation functionality but have to generate the related browse sequence based on the appropriate TOC before generating the localized output.


Question: Is there a solution or workaround for this issue.

Remark: We thought that having all topics for all languages in one project would help us to maintain only one folder for images and one style sheet definition.

Cheers, Pinkepunk

I don't think there is a workaround for this so I can only suggest you record a new feature request.
