RoboHelp and editing of HTML (.htm) files

I need to create a software documentation project where the deliverable will consist of a loose collection of files HTML (.htm) (not a website with index.htm).

I don't see an option in Robohelp 9 that allows me to publish my project (topics ToC) to files HTML (converting a theme to the html file). I know that each subject in a project is stored as an .htm file, however, I also read somewhere (in this forum I believe) they are not exactly web and Robohelp project files ready - for example, external link in a topic railways use slash reverse instead of a slash.

It seems strange that I will need to find a html editor tool because robohelp is a html editor that does not publish to HTML.  (I just heard a salesman say, hey, that's how we cross sell products like dreamweaver).

Bottom line, is robohelp not the right tool for editing html files?

Hello

To clear up a misunderstanding: RoboHelp publishes to HTML and RoboHelp is not a dedicated HTML editor. Indeed, the source of RoboHelp files are not ready for a Web site. You can generate HTML files free of RoboHelp which may suit your need. The table of contents, index and glossary is then generated in the form of simple XML files. (Use a SSL XML output to generate XHTML.)

If RoboHelp is the right tool for you, is something only you can decide. RoboHelp does not aim to be an HTML editor. It is a HAT tool with many options focused on the creation of help, such as variables, snippets, review work flow, a simple table of content creation, etc. Of course, you can manually edit the HTML code of the subjects, but RoboHelp is designed so that you don't have to if you don't want that.

If you do not want one of these features, a free product like Notepad ++ may be your best choice. Hope this clarifies. Feel free to post back with any questions.

Take a bow

  • Download (not htm) file on server

    Usually I just use 'put' to put/upload local files to a remote server. By selecting 'Yes' to transfer all dependent files, works for html/htm files, but does not work for non-html/htm files. So, how can I transfer a single file which will not "open" in DW (such as a zip or pdf or gif file) to my remote server?

    If it is not already in this folder of the site "local site" put it there.
    go to the dw files Panel.
    Find the file, click on it to select it.
    Click the icon to the top of the files Panel.

  • I need help to get Dreamweaver to recognize html and php files and htm files.

    I have a site legicy and it is prohibitive to chane the names of .php file. So I try to get Dreamweaver cs5.5 to interpret the htm and html files that are including php.

    I'm under XAMPP as my test server.

    I have the index.htm file and it displays all of the links as broken and will not work in live mode view with php includes. However if I rename .php file the file analysis correctly in dreamweaver.

    Is there a work around that?

    I was able to get the host to work Web site by editing the .htaccess file to use this code, but it does not work in Dreamweaver.

    AddHandler x-httpd-php5-cgi .php5

    AddHandler x-httpd-php-cgi .php4

    Options + ExecCGI

    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .htm .html

    AddDefaultCharset UTF-8

    AddType text/html .htm .html .php

    AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .html .php .htm

    I think you need to change your recording PHP file in XAMPP.

    How to open and edit a .slz file?

    Laughing out loud. RoboHelp is a publisher of fishy?

    SLZ's just with a different extension zip files. You can extract it as all the archives. I regularly just threw in pictures updated or .slp usins 7-zip files.

    If you want to change beyond the capabilities of the built-in Editor, does not open the .slp files in RoboHelp. That will mess up the layout. Use Dreamweaver / Notepad ++ / something else instead.

    You change the name in the first field in the first page of the wizard and the file to generate. It must be a folder on your hard drive.

    You change the publication record in the last page of the wizard. Wherever you want to.

  • Edition of the external files and their links in any project is released in CD

    I am limited to the publication of my project on CD. The project is divided into lessons (individual projects), I have a link to each lesson by creating a button for linking to a file/URL, link to the html file. I have currently selected, the file SWF, PDF that I have a link to a new window and not continue to play the project.

    How can I configure an entire project to link to consecutive course as well as funds sovereigns and PDF that all must be found on the CD?

    I am at a loss, because my links will eventually be broken when I publish a CD...

    Hello again

    In a perfect world, we would see that there is no problem with the link. Unfortunately, we do not live in a perfect world.

    Captivate 3, you can create a link to a good such as a Microsoft Word document, Adobe PDF document, Microsoft Excel worksheet, or other. Once you have done this, you just made sure assets were in the same folder of Captivate output to link to it. Most of the things just worked time. But sometimes, we saw that, instead of open the active, the browser open and could not find. The odd part of all this is the address shown in the browser's address bar was in fact correct. And if you just clicked here and pressed enter, here! Busted open assets.

    Captivate 3, you had a companion application called MenuBuilder. This request was intended to be used for posting a link to matching files. It was like a Captivate that was very limited in scope. He created what I call 'one wonders slide ". I discovered that this app could help when you need create a link that might work.

    You have 3 handy Captivate? If so, you can use the MenuBuilder application companion to overcome some limitations.

    If you don't practice it, shoot me an e-mail at rstone75 (at) kc (dot) rr (dot) com and tell me the exact name of the file you should link to. I'll be happy to create a few small SWF files and send back them to help with binding.

    I hope this was helpful... Rick

  • Is there a way to allow more than one person accessing and editing a file

    Original title: records of public folders

    Hi, when there is a file on a public folder cannot be access by one person at a time or you get the message 'open read-only '. Is there a way to allow more than one person accessing and editing a file at the same time on a shared drive?

    It's true, but there are a few special cases.  For example, spreadsheet Microsoft Excel is adjustable mode "shared" so that more than one person can make changes at the same time.  If two people edit the same section of the file, they get a prompt asking you which changes are preserved.

    That said-I was never able to use it effectively.

    Thank you!

    Marcelo

    Marcelo,

    to make it quite clear, Lightroom can't sync between two desktop computers. It can synchronize between only one computer and one or more mobile devices. Synchronization between computers has been a very requested feature, but Adobe has not given us yet. You will need to designate one of your computers as your main machine mounting and synchronization here. There are tricks to get all changes from one computer to another in phase, but these are not negligible and may corrupt catalog if you're not careful.
