Upgrade from RH8 to RH10 formatting

We upgraded from RH8 to RH10 and some of the topics are not formatted. (1484 topics) There is alot of extra spacing inbetween bullets and alpha numbering.

For example: 

<ol style="list-style: decimal;">
 <li style="list-style: none; display: inline;"><ol start="1" style="list-style: decimal;">
  <li class="p" style="list-style: lower-alpha;"><p style="margin-left: 0px;"><span 
   style="margin-left: 48px;">Enter a <span style="font-weight: bold;">Business 
   Name</span>, if applicable. This field is not required if you 
   are not establishing a business account and when you provide a 
   first and last name. The value entered is displayed on the customer's 
   invoice and is limited to 30 alphanumeric characters.</span></p></li>
 </ol></li>

What do I need to eliminate in the HTML code? And is there a way to programatically remove all the extra spaces?

Thank-you,

Michelle

Peter,

I was able to make the .CSS behave in my test project that I sent you earlier today. I tried several different settings, etc.. but this worked: I right-clicked the .css in the Project Manager and created a new Baggage File, generated and it worked! Ok....now I have to try this in the mega huge 'real' project.

I'll let you know how it works out.

Thank-you,

Michelle


I think your problem is because you are generating to a network drive. You should generate to a local drive and publish to a network drive.

I changed your start page in the project you sent to index.htm as I don't like having a start page with the same name as a topic and generated to a local drive.

Works fine. Correct formatting.

Also I would avoid spaces in a CSS file name.

I am seeing this in the RH Topic after I click the eyeglasses icon to view as generated.

In other words, my style sheet is fine until I generate the help file and then the style sheet changes. 


Check that you have not selected a stylesheet to in the single source layout that is overriding the topic CSS.

Make sure the Apply to all Topics check box is not selected.
