RH 2019 - how to generate robots.txt

[Armelle5C15]

Hi,

I'm using RH 2019 (version 2019.0.14) and i'd like to know if , when I generate my output (webhelp) it is possible to generate these files:

- Robots.txt 

- sitemap.xml

If so, how can I do?

thanks!

In the output preset under Search there is a "Generate XML sitemap" checkbox. You can also set a base url and frequency of update period.

robots.txt I think is something that is managed by your webserver administrator, so I don't think there's a way to automatically generate one. I could be wrong about who manages it, but I can't think of any settings mentioning a robots.txt file.

Thanks for the xml sitemap, I've found the checkbox and ... it works! 🙂

If somebody as an idea for the robots.txt...do not hesitate to tell me! Actually, it's my IT administrator who told me that this could be set in RH...

Just build it yourself - see https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/robots/create-robots-txt?hl=en&visit_id=637407839...

Thanks Jeff!

Unfortunately, I'm far to be a developer so this looks very complicated to me!

Get your IT person to build it - it's just a text file.

I'll do for sure!
