• 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.

• RoboHelp Word closes generation HTML Help after 2 MB of images

  Hi, I'm evaluating RoboHelp for Word 8 for my business. I use the trial version of RoboHelp for Word 8. Building the content of files hep in the Word document I insert images by using the Insert-> picture-> Word file menu. After that I inserted about 2 MB of images RoboHelp crashes when I run the RoboHelps file-> generate main Layout for MS HtmlHelp, in the menu. The compiler output crashes just essentially by the following:

  From compilation...

  Compensation output folder...

  From compilation...

  I found the image on the border of the size limit and delete it and am able to generate the output. I can also replace it with a much smaller image and can generate the output.

  This seems very strange to me, 2 MB is nothing. We mainly use a JPG image and two small GIFs. This could be just a problem with the trial version of RoboHelp 8 or maybe RoboHelp wants images inserted in Word in a different way?

  Thank you, I appreciate any information you can provide me.

  You missed my point. With RoboHelp HTML you do not have to import, you link and then create the CHM. The Word document can reside on the network and SMEs can change. When you build, RoboHelp prompts you to update the topics in the current version of the document.

  Thus, you always have your Word documents available for others to update and you still have your CHMS.

  Which version of Word you are using. In 2007, things RoboHelp seems to be in the Add-In Ribbon.

• Best practices to generate an output HTML to send by mail

  Hello

  In our 11g application we are generating a mail plaintext database plsql, with little data retrieved by a query.

  Now, mail is growing complex, so we´d like to put a little more shaped (an html table, I guess).

  I see a few solutions:

  1 crap: create html with concat string and a good ol' ' cursor for loop.

  2. get the result of the query in xml format and apply an xsl stylesheet to generate the html string. Cleaner, but it's worth? How can you get the HTML?

  Can you suggest me a good practice to achieve this? Any oracle package?

  We currently use the #2 option in one of our applications, and yes it is worth.

  This approach separates data layout and allows different formats to come from the same source, for example html, text, csv, and formats the same oox (.xlsx).

  Any oracle package?

• Generate reports of problem: Long time and no data

  Hi all

  Please, I have a problem when generating a report. My report has 22 views and dashboards. Before I could generate without waiting too. Now it takes so long, and the content of all of the dashboards that isn't shawing (no data).

  You have an idea why is it like that? For more information, all the values in the vROPs VM are genrally good. Just the IOPS virtual disk are up to 362,63 IOPS / s.

  What I have to restart the virtual machine?

  Thank you in advance.

  Only slowness is the generation of reports. I tried everything, as to uncheck CSV format, excluding the dashboard... it takes too long until I restarted the master node and data nodes, while everything was ok.

• Numbered RoboHelp 9 problem of HTML lists

  I have problems with HTML lists in Robohelp 9 which are converted from Framemaker 10 xml files related. The list numbering starts again after that article 9 and I can't find anywhere that could be configured!

  The configuration for the conversion in the "Conversion Settings" for the relevant paragraph of numbered list in Framemaker to Robohelp is "Convert AutoNumber to HTML list".

  Thank you very much in advance for the pointers.

  Kind regards

  Nick

  Are you sure you actually, it restarts from scratch? Have you checked the HTML code? My first thought after reading this was that you might have some problems with alignments and margins CSS to hide the number in front of your zero. Numbers that should be 10, 11 etc, but presents itself as 0,1, 2, 3 etc... in any case, I post an image which visualizes your output of HR.

  Edit: Have you tested a larger list (20 +) to see if things are repeated?

• How to remove HTML title tag information and file generated directly from HTML PDF files?

  I just become a member CC, exclusively to work with Dreamweaver and be able to convert the DW HTML files to PDF. I see that it's possible - fortunately - by opening the HTML source file starting from Acrobat Pro. But I don't want the title HTML tag to the top of the file, or the name of the file and timestamp downstairs.

  Does anyone know how I get rid of these unsightly and unnecessary information? I looked in preferences, but I see not what item or items refer to these two lines. This shouldn't be so hard to find, and it absolutely must be there. Now I'm worried that for some inexplicable reason, is not.
  Unless I'm really be dense and just cannot see it.
  And I realize that, Yes, I can delete this information page by page, on each file by hand. But I would really do not have to go this route.
  Hoping someone here can help.
  Thank you.

  I looked in preferences and can't find anything that seems to address these added in the headers and footers.

  AHA! There is no create from the Web menu in Acrobat. But there is a menu to create, point to create a PDF file of the Web Page, which opens a small dialog of deceptively simple. It has a URL field and a few buttons, which is settings. Settings opens a dialog with two legs. On the general page, there is a "named Place headers and footers new PDF settings". He was selected. I deselected it, and that did the trick.

  I would have thought to find a frame like this instead on the Page layout. And, either, it's a deeply buried framework. It should have been in the preferences.

  Thank you!

• Link to FrameMaker 8 Robohelp generates umlaut in the names of files - how to remove?

  I'm linking German Framemaker files translated into Robohelp.

  The title 1 and title 2 areas in my source Framemaker files often contain accents in words/phrases.

  Unfortunately, when you bind to Robohelp 8, umlauts appear in the file namessection.

  And umlauts are not allowed characters in file names.

  How can I remove the umlauts and yet keep a building unique source for my Framemaker-Robohelp project?

  (To remove the source files would of course be tedious and return the incorrect words.)

  (To somehow deprive him of the file names would create many broken links).

  Our books are translated into several languages. I really need the appearance of the single source of Robohelp 8 chassis to work properly.

  Any process or procedure would be very appreciated!

  This error is quite another. Please verify that all of the subfolders in the path of the output in SSL dialog box folder do not have a space at the beginning of the folder name. It seems that the project was created within a folder with spaces at the beginning of the folder name. Please correct the path by moving the project to a folder with no space in the beginning of the name of the folder in the parent hierarchy of the folder root of the project.

  

  This should solve the problem. In this case, it does not work, please provide the name of folder path and full ouput file.

• RoboHelp HTML 9 crashes often

  Hello

  I use the latest version of RoboHelp 9. All by the most rudimentary tasks in my project, as the formatting of the text using the design window and edit HTML, RoboHelp hang or crash unexpectedly. What is happening at least five times a day recently. Many pages also contain Word HTML tags and other undesirable code of the word that I delete manually - don't know if that has to do with the crash. I can't understand what is happening.

  Plug my computer is the following:

  CPU: Pentium Dual-Core 2.5 GHz

  Installed 4 GB memory

  Windows 7 Ultimate 64 - bit OS

  Any comments would be much appreciated.

  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).

• New procedures to import re - generate image files is not allowing us to rename the files.

  Hey guys suggestions to solve the following problem?

  A recurring problem with RoboHelp since always our names project being too long to migrate. We can manually reduce the size of the folder names and the names of theme files, however, with the new import procedures, RoboHelp generates separate image files in the theme files and we cannot rename these files. This cancels the efforts to reduce the filenames of the subjects. When attempting to rename files, RoboHelp recreates the original folder and the image no longer appears in the project manager pod or in the published HTML files.

  Any kind of help is greatly appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Hello again

  OK, so I just wanted to make you understand that what you see inside RoboHelp's nothing RoboHelp done to change anything. Now let's talk about this document. One thing I would say (and my good friend Peter suggested) are that you rename this document before importing in RoboHelp. Short filenames will lead to short paths (and fewer questions possible) once we enter the world of RoboHelp.

  When you work with something like RoboHelp, you have all kinds of different files involved that help track your project. I noticed that your Word document using a comma in the name of the file. I strongly suggest to avoid any character other than 0-9, a - z, A - Z, underscore (_) line. Any character other than those who must be considered to be 'special' and will only cause you pain at some point.

  So as you have seen, when Word creates HTML, it also creates for these files. RoboHelp strives to have your back and prevent you from shoot you yourself in the foot. I noticed that when I tested it by saving as HTML, that more than simple images were placed in the Word folder created. RoboHelp probably prevents you from changing the name of the folder because of other files inside. In General, RoboHelp allows you to name your images as you wish and store anywhere you like. But this content is a bit special, because it comes from the word.

  One way to work beyond this would be to save your images separately from the word, appointing appropriately, and then import a Word document without the image. Then add the images later. In this way you should not end up with unwanted files and images may be stored where you want.

• Google Chrome Frame plugin breaks RoboHelp 8 documents

  We have a large ERP application with a heavy client of AJAX (Dojo based).  The application is an internal application and the supported browser is IE8.  We would like to install Google Chrome Frame (GCF) on the desktops of our users in order to improve the overall performance of the application.

  One problem, we discovered in the tests is that RoboHelp 8 will not work if the GCF plugin is installed.  We use RoboHelp to generate a large amount of our workers policy manuals.  When the GCF plugin is installed a user can click on the first link on navigation but then is unable to navigate further.

  
  

  The problem occurs as long as GCF is installed (regardless of the fact that his licence or not).  If you uninstall GFC, the generated RoboHelp documents start to work again.

  RoboHelp generates a presentation of the HTML frame with navigation on the left and readable documents links on the right.  Interestingly, RoboHelp 6 documents work well with the GCF plugin.

  We see that the problem with RoboHelp 8.  I don't know if the same problem occurs with the 9 in RoboHelp.  I was not able to find much information on this problem.  If someone else found similar problems with RoboHelp and effective work around we would be delighted to hear it.  

  It is currently preventing us to ride on the GCF plugin to our community.

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Welcome to the forum.

  There was a post possibly a year back where a plug-in has had the same effect. I remember with certainty that the plug-in's, but something tells me this is it and I don't think that there is no resolution.

  Chrome itself was not supported by RoboHelp, until what RoboHelp 9 for the version you may be using the problem.

  You can install the trial version of RoboHelp 9 on another machine to test?

• RoboHelp 2015 (12.0.2.384): The search returns topics do not are included in the table of contents

  ENVIRONMENT: Windows 7 Enterprise SP1, 8.00 GB of RAM, 64 - bit OS, Office 2010, Adobe Acrobat X Pro, Acrobat Reader DC 2015.017.20050

  DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT:

  • A single RoboHelp HTML project with three exits. One of the outputs is a 'validation' reference that has its own Table of contents.
  • Validation reference Table of contents contains a subset of the subjects in the main help system. For example, the help system main table of contents contains a folder named 'Administration '. This folder is not in the table of contents of reference for Validation.
  • The reference of Validation is displayed on a public web site. Therefore, we applied the tag "Non_public_info" contained in the topics shared that we do not want to appear on the public website.
  • WebHelp parameters are:
    • Validation reference TOC
    • No map file, no sequence to browse
    • Conditional compilation expression: NOT_Non_public_info_AND_NOT_StyleGuidelines_AND_NOT_TRP (we keep our Style rules in the project to facilitate access during development. TRP content must be rejected because it was not released.)
    • Exclude non referenced topics of output is selected.
    • Search options. Only 'Show Total number of search results' and 'View AND search Option in outputs' are selected.
  • After generating the WebHelp, we remove the files that we don't want (RoboHelp generates empty folders, even if the files are not in the table of contents.)

  PROBLEM: A search in the help of Validation reference reveals the topics that we think should not be included because the subjects themselves are not in the table of contents of Validation reference. For example, the section "Data quality analysis" is in the main table of contents help, but not in the table of contents of reference for Validation. Therefore, we do not expect the topic appears in the search results pane at all. But he does. When the user clicks on the subject, the "Resource not found" message appears.

  Nothing shows the topic Style_Guidelines because the StyleGuidelines label conditional construction applies to the entire folder and the "Style guidelines" book in the main table of contents. (Same thing for the TRP folder).

  QUESTION: Why are topics which are not in the table of contents and whose records are not in the project at all appearing in the WebHelp during a search? We need to rewrite the expression of conditional compilation or establish conditions differently. We assume not have topics in the table of contents, not including the topics not referenced in the output, and remove empty folders would be the way to go. Any help is welcome!

  Thank you very much.

  Carol Levie

  The table of contents does not control what ends up in the output for output online. All content tagged and tagged content which is not excluded by the expression of construction will be included. The parameter 'Exclude topics not referenced output' more exclude all subjects which are not in the table of contents AND are not related to any topic which is included in the output.

  On the other hand, for the print output the table of contents control which is found in the output. I think that it will fire a lot of people.

  If you generate the help and that you do not remove the unwanted files, do you still have the error? If this isn't the case, you know that the topic is referenced somewhere in the content of the reference of the Validation.

  Here is the help of RH11. I can't imagine it would have changed, but you could do a search to verify a second time for RH2015.

  Exclude output not referenced topics

  Select this option to exclude any topic that exists in the project, but is not the default theme in page layout or is not referenced table of selected contents, index or sequence to browse, or any referenced subject.

  Note: RoboHelp shows the topics not referenced that are excluded from the output in the output view module.

• Are there patches IE11 and Chrome for RoboHelp for Word 10? Table of contents, Index, and search do not work as expected in WebHelp...

  Question:

  Fixes IE11 and Chrome on the Adobe web site ask you to put their new files in RoboHTML templates_stock folder. However, I need these fixes for RoboHelp for Word. Is there a such difficulty?

  Background:

  
  

  I use 10 RoboHelp for Word, generating WebHelp.

  I try to solve the problems about the table of contents, Index, and search appears not not or not being not completely functional IE11 or Chrome, not including many of our customers use. I found a couple of workarounds that my boss doesn't like.

  • In IE11, if the end user adds the web site to the compatibility view list, they all appear and function correctly, but my boss is adamant about not wanting the end user having to do anything to solve the problem.
  • In Chrome, I can get a table of contents and a non-functional search to appear if the user turns off JavaScript for the site, but this solution also violates the lists see also in help. Again, made my boss wants to not that the end user to have to do.

  His solution is just to generate using pure HTML, but then the search won't work in IE11 or Chrome (I'm not sure about Firefox). I are based largely on the research, when I'm working on the product, so I really don't want to lose the search function.

  Help, please.

  Kind regards

  Jenn

  As I said in my reply to your message in the RoboHelp for Word forum, there is no patch for this.

  I can understand your not wanting to Manager end users will do anything and agree with him. However, the fixes for these issues in HTML HR are simply not available in RoboHelp for Word.

• Audio files play automatically when generation HTML/CHM Help in RH10

  Is it possible that I can have the audio clip and player appear when I generate help as when I use the game icon and auto not show items selected with no option of drive?

  Thanks for your help!

  A few months back I have facilitated a Webinar by Adobe on the use of multimedia in RoboHelp. Indeed, it is one of the pain points and where I REALLY wish that people would create a lifting of shields and the demand for better multimedia support.

  The best bet on an empty stomach and the safer for audio clips is to create a small SWF Captivate you can then incorporate into a topic. Second best is to host the audio clip on something like SoundCloud and use their embed code.
