WebHelp Search Displays Selected Topics Without Acknowledging LF

RH doesn't normally work with pre tags. The search function adds spans for highlighting, so removing the highlight will probably solve this. But that's not what you want.

Can you try the following: Replace the pre tag with a div tag. Add a class to the div, for example 'preserve-lines'. In your CSS, add the following definition:

div.preserve-lines {

white-space: pre-line;

}

This will add line breaks as they were in the source code.

Of course, RoboHelp is replacing the HTML when adding highlighting, so it may be stripping the line breaks as well. In that case, the easiest solution (short of hacking into the highlighting code (trust me, you don't want to go there)) is to replace the line breaks by br tags on generation and use a paragraph instead of a pre element.
