Question

RH 7 HTML - lower case folder names?

Hi,

I am on RoboHelp HTML 7. Have to generate WebHelp output.
Just now starting to set up a new project after completing a Proof of Concept.

After some study, I wish to keep all relevant names (topics and other components' names) in lower case.
I create folders and find that the folder names would not take only lower case. If I do 'Rename' they default to Title Case. RH defaults to 'User_Administration' even if I try 'user_administration'.

Is this ok? Should I worry about this or only about the htm file names of topics? Our application shall be on a Unix box for this major release.

Thanks for your help.

Regards
Radha Renganathan

    Same argument. What matters is consistency so if your links have the same case as the folders and files, it will be OK.

    Unix does not require lowercase, what it requires is consistency of case.

    So if your link says FileName.htm and the file is filename.htm, the call will fail on Unix. For that reason it is common to always use lowercase to minimise the risk of error.

    I thought that had been fixed.

    Try

    Change FileName.htm to FileName1.htm and then to filename.htm

    Actually the files names get changed properly. no problem; but the folder names retain only the title case. The problem is with the folder names. would that have any negative effect?
