Output Paragraph Breaks not correct after latest update 2022.4.179

Community Beginner ,
Jun 19, 2024 Jun 19, 2024

Hello

 

I recently updated to the latest version robohelp.  Any page that I edit when I output the paragraph breaks are not correct.  As you see below in robohelp I have spaces after each paragraph and in the output they do not.  Its happening once I make a change on a topic (Just readjusting the paragraph break on a page) causes the output to remove all paragraphs and breaks from the output.  Any advise would be greatly appreciated.   This was not an issue with previous version nothing has changed as well.

@Jeff_Coatsworth That post doesn't include the fix for tables. I'll edit it later.

Probably - it was reported happening in CHM output too - but in that case, there wasn't much of a workaround except rolling back to Patch 3. It's probably a font issue - something isn't being translated to the PDF. Are you getting the same effect in the sample project?

Is it in your \My Documents\My RoboHelp Projects\ folder? If not, copy the "factory" version from the C:\Program Files\ install location to that My Documents location. You should be able to open it from there.

Now that you've proved the sample project works, add the workaround css to the sample project and try saving as PDF. If the characters appear after only that change, we'll know the characters are caused by the workaround.

I added the workaround css to the sample project and when I save as PDF it looks ok, no abnormal characters.

So that would suggest there is something in your project causing the strange symbols when saving as pdf., rather than being directly related to the workaround. I'm not sure what though. Maybe the font you  are using, if it's not a standard Windows font?

I just saw that on 19th June you posted you could not open RoboHelp. Is that fixed?
