Rh10 sets Apply to All Topics importing from Fm

[lyddion]

I've found some really strange issues converting RH9 projects to RH10. One of the things I noticed is the Text fomatting issue. In RH9, every page I created would have it's own .css page, which are listed in the Project Master -> Project Files folder. RH9 would apply every .css to the individual pages I had automatically. 

Now in RH10, I found that none of the .css pages were being applied, and I have to pick one in the WebHelp settings and select "Apply to All".  Not sure why this has changed but it was the only thing that would make all pages of my project have the same Styles and Formatting:

The Apply to All Topics is selected. That is not a default. Deselect it and the CSS for the topics will apply.

Do you really mean you have one CSS per topic? I'm curious to know why.

When I looked at my RH9 projects, I do have the 'Apply to all Topics' flag unselected, and the CSS for the individual topics are correct. When I converted to RH10, the flag setting isn't working anymore.

I was creating pages in FM and importing them to RH. I wasn't using a Master Page when I started, and was copying existing pages to create new ones. It became a (bad) habit.

I didn't think too much of it until I started having issues with RH10.

@Peter – that’s standard when your source material comes in from FM.

@Jeff Thanks but I'm confused. Lyddion was assisting with this thread but then seems to be seeking assistance in Post 7.

CatJonne has not mention Fm but Lyddion has.

Are we dealing with two problems here? If we are, I will branch this thread from Item 7 onwards as that is where the change of question seems to start.

@Peter – I’d be tempted to tack post 7 onwards onto this thread - http://forums.adobe.com/message/5746780#5746780 – it appears that the newest versions of RH10 aren’t respecting the individual topic CSS’s that get created when your source content comes in from FM the way it used to in RH9 and an earlier version of RH10. I haven’t noticed it because I just force everything through the grinder at output generation time (that’s the “Apply to All Topics” CSS method).

@ Jeff

Unfortunately you can only branch a thread, not tack it onto another one. This is now the thread for Lyddion's issue.

Is it not the case that the individual CSS's are not being respected because the Apply All is being ticked? If you untick that, does it not solve the problem?

I guess this should be in the Fm Integration forum.

Sorry..I didn't mean to derail the thread from CatJonne's original issue in this thread http://forums.adobe.com/message/5746839#5746839

I thought the formatting issue and my issue were related.

@Peter

If I untick the option, my generated help topics lose many of the formatting/styles applied. The only thing that worked for me was selecting one .css, then 'Apply All'. As Jeff_Coatworth mentioned in post 5 above, I had the same issue as the thread he linked to.

I re-installed my RH version to go back to an earlier version (RH 10.0.0.287) and this fixed the issue, but possibly created some other ones (IE9/10 compatibility). Long story short, I'm going back to RH9 for now until I can do some further testing to resolve additional mapping issues I'm having.
