After upgrading from RoboHelp Classic to 2019, paragraph styles are missing and an Application Error appears that reads "The application has run into an error. Please save your unsaved changes and restart from menu: Help > Restart RoboHelp"

Any tips as to what's going on or what was done incorrectly? Thanks.

Solution.

 

Open the CSS in source view and locate the first Media@mercycity.church only style. Prefix it as I have done with /* and the code for the rest of the CSS will change to the colour shown because that has commented it out.

Next scroll down to where they stop just before the P tag and close that section with */.

Save that and you will be able to go back to the CSS in author view and you will see your styles.

Thank you though, Amebr. I just tried your suggestion of switching to Properties > Topic and the desired style sheet is selected; however, when I switch to the Styles tab, there are still no Paragraph styles present.

If you create a new project and then add this CSS to it, does the same problem arise? If it does, then see the Contact page on my site and send the project as instructed there. Do make sure you include a link to this thread and please do not email the project direct.

I'm guessing those media definitions don't meet CSS3 standards. Check your outputs to ensure they still work OK.

The paragraph styles are showing up now! Thank you so much, Peter.

With that problem solved, I tried to generate Responsive HTLM5 output. It says it generated successfully, but I can't find the result. Where does RH 2019 generate the output?

Nevermind. I figured out the path set in the Preset. Thanks again.

LOL. From what I can see in the second image, that css got mangled so badly by Classic it doesn't meet any standard. 😛  (I've come across some very weird things in Classic-edited css files - it gets confused very easily )

Wherever you told it to. 🙂

 

Look in the preset and the output path should be there. If it is blank, then RoboHelp puts it in Documents > My RoboHelp Projects > Outputs.

 

Best to create a path to where you want it.

This solution commented out the media styles definitions that contained syntax errors.

 

If you find those styles are required you will need to fix those errors. The comment from Adobe in the bug report is "extra braces also min-width etc are missing semicolons after them. @media is not getting applied for first occurence in every series."
