Related Topics as list instead of button?

[V_Igel]

I am using RoboHelp 8.0.2 to produce HTML help.

Instead of having a Related Topics button, I would like a linked list of topics to appear (so the user doesn't have to click to see the list of topics, and if there is just one topic, isn't automatically taken to it).

Ideally it would look like this:

Related Topics

Topic A

Topic B

I understand I could do this manually but then I wouldn't have RoboHelp keeping track of these things for me.

Thank you,

Victoria

There really isn't anything RoboHelp would specifically do with a Related Topics control that would provide you any advantage over a list of links.

For example, you manually add the topics to the Control presently. If you update any of the topics in the control so they have a different File Name, RoboHelp does track and update the File Name for you. Then again, it will do the same thing if you have a list of links.

You may be under the impression that if you were to change the Topic Title that the Related Topics control would be amended to reflect the new title. But you would be wrong.
