Script for adding all topics to a single browse sequence

Hi all, has anybody perchance written a script that inserts all topics into a single browse sequence? This would be similar to the 'auto-create from TOC'-function but using a single long sequence instead of separate ones for each chapter.

Most of our users think that the concept of browse sequences is confusing in Webhelp. They just want simple 'forward' and 'backward' buttons that jump through the TOC.

Hi Robert

There's no need for a script. Just use the auto-create. Then type 0 (zero) for the level.

..even though the topics are added in a strange manner.

First the BRS jumps through the topics assigned to the top level books

(Chapter 1, Chapter 2 etc.). Then at the end it continues at the start

again and jumps through the topics in the individual chapters. Well,

I'll come up with a feature name that imlpies it was planned that way.

Hi Peter,

no luck at this. These are imported Framemaker Documents. Even if I generate a competely flat TOC in FM then Robohelp still produces a TOC with structure in it. I made sure to define all TOC formats identical (I copied one format for all levels to make sure everything is the same, not only text size and indention).

Yet Robohelp always produces a TOC with chaotic chapters and subchapers in it.

The flat TOC needs to be created in Rh, not Fm.
