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.

Hello William or anyone interested in this question. The mobile.css file has been no problem tweaking with just one exception.

In the code, I've tried changing the search results font to black, and it seems like I have tried so everywhere that it might work, but I am striking out more than Dave Kingman circa 1978. I just want to get the results to be black and stay black when highlighted (or a color otehr than white.  I'd even use the orange I have elsewhere in the file - just not white.

If anyone knows where in the mobile.css file or elsewhere the settings are for this, I'd love to know. Obviously, I went to the search results area part of the file and replaced some of the color settings but still haven't been able to change the color.

Thanks for any help and sorry for all of the HTML5 issues.

Kevin


Hi,

Exactly what colour do you want to change? The highlight colour in the text or the highlight color of the links on the search results page? Or smething completely different?

Greet,

Willam
