8 of RoboHelp HTML - layout VERY basic and naming issue.

OK, I'm sure this must be obvious to everyone because I can't seem to find in the places I tried. My personal experience with the help files is not help (Yes, I know, pun intended).

I create a RoboHelp HTML to a PDF file.

When importing the file, I give myself the opportunity to create a new topic based on a style. Great so far. After doing experimental and looked at the exit that I am of the feeling that "something" is "an HTML document that, in theory, covers an area of interest, that's why the subject of the phrase.

Then I opened the help file for IE I see the content as "Find the Pages Web You Want" and «Browsing the Web Offline» None of them can be selected to display information in the right pane, but open both to show what I will call "subtopics", which each opens what appears to be an html document in the right pane.

Adobe Help files are a little easier to deal with, just navigate to the folder for help and there are all of the HTML files.

So, I'm confused, and I have a major mental block which makes it difficult to act without getting a hierarchy/layout. And if this information is available in Robohelp or place help me smack in line, right to the back of the head and point me in the right direction because I'm not.

Internet Explorer help, what should I call the links in the left pane, where I can click to bring up a page in the right pane? What I call the elements that I can stress that, when clicked, display list clickable links? And it is true that if I ask RoboHelp to create a topic out of each of a given style, then I'll have a separate HTML document for each instance of this style?


Thank you

Solon

Hi there and welcome to the wonderful world of wild and wacky to help creation!

The area on the left side is generally called a "Navigation pane". The Navigation pane usually has different points of view. Table of contents (TOC), Index, glossary, and of course, research.

Table of contents contains a metaphor books and Pages. Each book contains Pages inside. Each Page includes links directly to a file HTML (Topic).

Indeed, if you are suck content PDF, RoboHelp is told what the criteria is to divide the long PDF document in individual HTML topic pages.

Hope this helps a bit... Rick

  • RoboHelp HTML won't just run.

    My RoboHelp HTML X5.0.1 won't just run. By clicking on the project file (XPJ), launch of the program in the start-programs menu or go directly to RoboHTML.exe does nothing. The process appears in Task Manager, but nothing happens to her. RoboHelp HTML worked very well about 2 days back. The only new thing I installed was Cleascase 7.0. No idea what I can do?

    RoboHelp for Word, however, works very well.

  • Problems of RoboHelp 7 HTML with whtbar.js and the previous topics of WebHelp

    Hello

    I have posted before with great success on the whtbar.js file. For example, in one of our products, the WebHelp opens within the program, so I had to make sure I always checked in the old whtbar.js under version control file, replacing the last file whtbar.js created during the compilation of RoboHelp. Otherwise, the previous and next topic navigation would not work. So, which was not a problem since then. Now we have two new products that I created WebHelp projects for, but the buttons back and before previous/next topic do not work.

    When I compile projects Robohelp, the sequence through the left and right arrows appear, but do not work. I use just the browser buttons next and previous. So I can only confirm their appearance so that a browse sequence is implemented in my project. Well, a bit over the last few days, I noticed that these previous topic and next arrows do not work in the two news accessed by a link from a web page of finished products.

    Should I use the last updated during the last compilation whtbar.js file and keep it archived in our software source SVN control? Unlike my first project of WebHelp, these are accessible from a URL and not inside a .exe. So, I think that the restriction of the use of the original whtbar.js file may not affect the two new WebHelp projects, whose assistance is accessible from a link on a web page. Does anyone have a suggestion?

    I use RoboHelp HTML 7. The upgrade would eliminate any of these problems? With 7, I have to edit the whver.js file to get help to work properly in Google Chrome, so I usually just check all new files in SVN and then delete a single file and replace it with the file that had the additional Chrome tag. Are there features that anyone finds particularly useful in the new versions?

    Finally, on an unrelated note, when you import topics in a new project (after the import of models), is anyway for the subjects copied keep their models and indexing? Looks like there must be, but I have not understood that yet.

    Thanks for all your help,

    Kevin

    Hi Kevin

    Here's the skinny.

    First of all, I will talk about the basic of a sequence function to browse.

    A browse sequence is nothing more than a set list of topics. Very similar to links in a chain. The intention is that the user will work since the topic first in the sequence of the last in the order of the list. In the skin, if the first topic that is part of a sequence is presented in the topic pane, the previous button is disabled because there is nowhere to go 'Back' to. It is the starting point. The next button is available. Once you click on the next button, the next topic in the sequence is presented, and the two buttons are now enabled. (On condition, of course, that there are at least three subjects in the sequence.) Once the last subject of the sequence is presented, the next button is disabled while it is has no other defined subjects to visit. But the back button is enabled allowing you to work your reverse path in the chain.

    In a release of WebHelp and FlashHelp stripped with no special changes, the buttons are placed in this area if you have defined a sequence through and if you chose to present the sequence go through the recipe for single source layout.

    Now there are several ways to step beyond RoboHelp and monkey with its matching files to bend to our whims. Long ago, I discovered that you can cajole these buttons allow to present, and then modify some of the files so that the buttons using JavaScript for the history of massage. I have therefore thought that maybe by copying the updated file javascript, this had been done and that would explain the behavior entirely.

    What I'm thinking, is that in the previous project where things seem to work, it was in reality a set sequence. But in these projects where things seem broken, no sequence has been defined, so the behavior.

    My RoboWizard site linked above, you can also freely download a file called "The Skinny on Skins", where I detailed how to make buttons Previous and Next behave like browser buttons next and previous.

    See you soon... Rick

  • Office 2007 and RoboHelp HTML 8

    We have been asked to upgrade Office 2003 to Office 2007.  I checked the forums, but all the debates were dealing with older versions of HR. Someone had questions using Robohelp HTML 8 with Office 2007?

    If you never use HR for Word or import or export to Word files, so it's a non-issue. Even if you have one of those things that RH8 was tested using Office 2007. It may be preferable if expose you a few specific cases, in which case you need to integrate RH8 with Office 2007, download the trial version and have a play. It is fair to say that the receiving Office 2007 is lower than Office 2003 and that not all HR users use the interface with Word.

  • Import of Word 2002 RoboHelp HTML 5 problem

    I'm obviously a beginner and it's very basic, but it drives me crazy. Import of Word documents is no longer works. I use Robohelp HTML 5 - project of Webhelp, Windows XP, Office XP (Word 2002). Last month, import a document Word has worked (well after that I cleaned up everything in Word first). NOW when I try to import a Word doc (with headers preserved, auto creation of styles OR nothing checked) I get a dialog box warning stating "Microsoft Word seems to be unresponsive. You want to continue waiting for an answer? "Of course he never does this loop. Word opens with an empty Document1 and "Converting * .doc" present in the taskbar. It is not locked, but it does not end import either.

    I have now reinstalled MS Office twice and Robohelp 4 times (I forgot to disable the antivirus protection once, I did not edit the file RegEdit first and even tried with disabled once ADSL modem). Unfortunately, I did a few things because it did not work properly. I've updated the RAM in my computer and I got DSL high speed internet (Yes!) ... which shouldn't have been a problem. I'm not so sure about the addition of a working group and tent unsuccessfully to set up a network for your laptop's internal wireless. And then... drum roll... it is the thing of Pando. No programs installed, but the music and movies downloaded. I did uninstall Pando because I believe it was working properly eventually, but not positive.

    Sorry to write a book. I've read countless messages but not finding what I need. Hope someone can help because I am alone in my very small business using Robohelp or trying and I don't have anyone to ask. Adobe will support not 2 versions back and what I read on Robohelp 7, I'm afraid to upgrade. I appreciate any help!

    Thank you
    Debbie

    No, it is important that HR is installed last.

    Where is the Normal of Word template installed?

    It is important that Word is run once after installation before trying to work with HR.

    Should not alter a scope but change the security settings for Word for average rather than the default value of the height.

    Corresponds to the Word installation standard installation on your PC, nothing unusual?

    Tell us more about Pando, and why you think that this might be relevant.

  • Editing outside of Robohelp HTML source code

    If I had to change my RoboHelp outside RoboHelp HTML source files, recommend the community? Notepad? WordPad? Word? If you want to know why, my boss won't pay for another license for RoboHelp.

    Notepad or any text editor is very well. No doubt you then copy files to a machine with HR to update the output and research etc. Do not use Wordpad or Word.

    The problem is the removal of the MS Word 2007 style tags. I don't know if Word 2000 labels and tags of 2007 are the same, I think that they are not. So I can't remove the following types of text automatically with TidyHTML:

    I took the liberty to look a little more later in this you. As others here have suggested, save the files from M$ Word like help of pourrait 'filtered' HTML, you spent your problem. I know that you do have access to the original documents M$ Word, but this is probably not a problem - you see, the reason why M$ Word embedds all that junk in the file HTML is because he thinks that you have to re - open the file in Word and not lose information specific to word. If you have access to M$ Word, you can simply open the HTML saved in Word, and then resave it "filtered". Of course, even Micro$ oft "filtered" output still contains more junk than you want and for reasons I knew once, but forgot since then, don't put order does a better job cleaning out unfiltered, than it does the output filtered.

    Looking at the M$ Word output, however, I noticed that most of the Junk had been incorporated in comment tags ( ). Tidy has the ability to remove the comment blocks: "-Yes hide comments» So, I took a simple document to Word 7 page M$ and saved as HTML from Word 2007. Then I added these two lines in my file "tidy.cfg":

    hide comments: y

    Word 2000: y

    After running Tidy on my Word document, it was very, very clean and had been reduced in size to about 2/3. All elements of the 'w:', 'm:' and 'o': namespaces have been removed, as well as any misuse of this word M$ of the attribute "style." My version of Tidy is since December 2008.

    I suggest that you try again Tidy on your original M$ Word .htm files using the configuration options that precede. This can help you over the hump; If not, let me know and I'll see if I can make a few changes to Tidy which will get rid of what still bothers you.

    (If after you import own HTML RoboHelp is still stuck on you, I can't offer any additional help, at this time, it is clearly a problem of RoboHelp, is not a HTML problem).

I have a project, questions at the lower right corner here www.hollisterairshow.com/index2.html , they are very simple and all I need is total indicating the sum of answers, no connection, without reservations, etc. Ideally, I would like to have a submit button that modifies a message of "Thank you", when a user has submitted their response and rest as a "Thank you" if they visit the website again.

  • Start screen 6 RoboHelp HTML

    RoboHelp HTML 6

    Can I create screensavers start using Robohelp HTML 6?  There are instructions in the help, but for some reason when I click on the Navigation control insert, I don't get HTML help controls mentioned.

    Hello

    You can insert is totally dependent on what you have selected as your main layout. My guess is that it is currently set to WebHelp or FlashHelp. Start-up control is specific to Microsoft HTML Help and probably wouldn't translate to WebHelp anyway.

    However, this does not mean that you have to give up a splash screen. I create all the time. My way is to create a topic to serve as start screen, and then insert a meta tag that redirects to another topic, after the expiry of a period of time. Pretty simple to do!

    You don't have to change the HTML code of the page, but it's pretty painless. What you do is insert the code below somewhere in the list of the meta tags in the section. You will have to juggle it to the top or to the bottom of the list so that RoboHelp disconnected. No course somehow passed.

    Change the value 0 the number of seconds that you want to see the splash screen.

    Change the SomeTopic.htm to be the theme that you want to present to the user once the splash disappears.

    Then configure the default theme to be the subject of splash.

    Google Chrome was not at the time of that creation of RoboHelp 7. It is therefore no surprising that WebHelp does not correctly display in Chrome.

    In Internet Explorer, you will see that the yellow information (YIB) bar when you run it locally off the C drive. Most people copy WebHelp to a Web server. When users can access it from a Web server, they are in a different security zone and will not meet the YIB.
