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.

See www.grainge.org for RoboHelp and Authoring tips

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,

That explains the deformed tile. To get rid of the glossary tile altogether, go to HTML mode and delete the following HTML:

<div class="homepagebutton">

                              <a href="Glossary.slp" class="homepage_glossary"><?rh-lng-string

                               lngname="Glossary" lngvalue="Glossary" ?></a>

                    </div>

(The <a> tag has probably been deleted already.)

Greet,

Willam


William,

That trick indeed got the tiny Glossary button to disappear. Thanks.

However, the title still only appears if you click in its field (on the home page). Is there any chance I would need to edit something in the mobile.css file or would that be used only for colors?

Here is the portion of the xml  I probably messed up somehow concerning the title.

Thank you very much. I apologize for all of the questions, but I really do appreciate the help. This iPad help is new territory.
