Question

Multiscreen HTML 5 - What to give to Development?

Hello,

I am creating a new help project for one of our iPad apps. This is the first time I have compiled with the Multiscreen HTML 5 primary layout.

When I compile in WebHelp, I check the entire WebHelp folder (...\!SSL!\WebHelp) into our SVN content management system for Development to get. (With HTML, they just take the .chm file of course).

For these iPad multiscreen builds, should I just give Development the contents of ipad folder (..!SSL!\Multiscreen_HTML5\ipad)?

Thanks very much for the help. I saw in another post that you can change the color shemes for the multiscreen layout, so that's good news. I will give that a try as well.

Kevin

It is likely that is what you will do but by no means certain. Take a look at the RoboHelp Tour on my site. In the RoboHelp 10 content I describe the options. You may want to show that to your developers too.

You'll have to give the entire output folder to your developers. If you have more than one layout, the root folder will contain several outputs, one for each device.

The root folder contains scripts and files to direct the user to the correct output for their device. This becomes even more important if you ever want to used merged HTML5 help or multiple devices.

Hi,

You can best do that through the HTML. Select the text in the editor and switch to HTML mode. Delete the text and it's DIV-container to get rid of it.

Don't forget to remove the glossary page from your layout.

William,

Thanks again. I do occasionally go into the HTML tab in the editor and change text; however, in this example I'm not sure how to do that. The project name that is missing is not found in an individual topic (htm file), and the tiny Glossary button is not, either. Sorry to sound completely dense, but where would the text for the blank name and the small glossary button on the iPad's home page shown in the previous screenshot be in the HTML? I'm probably just missing something obvious here. I did remove my glossary page from the layout.

Sorry for the follow-up but any suggestions are welcomed. Thanks.

Kevin
