Table of contents Pod in Robohelp 8

• Topics and new books do not appear in the table of contents after generated in DHTML (RoboHelp v8)

  Until recently, when I tried to add a topic for a book in the Table of contents, I just dragged into the project manager in the Table of contents.  I don't know what is different today, but the new entries appear in the Table of contents pod but not in the generated DHTML.  To make it more confusing, to me anyway, some newly added topics show.

  

  Hello

  I don't think 'huge' search and replace that can affect things. But we need to check a few things first.

  When you look at the SSL recipe, using any type of a conditional build Expression? If so, perhaps you have tagged content and it is not for this reason.

• Can I create a hierarchy of topic on the project manager pod or I must rely on the table of contents?

  Hello

  Can I create a hierarchy of topic on the project manager pod or I must rely on the table of contents? I use RoboHelp 9 (although I doubt that the version of the questions).

  Thank you

  Mary

  Hi Mary

  As you do this is by creating folders in the project manager, then create new topics in the files or move the existing entries in the records.

  If you work exclusively in the project manager, you are only able to move a single topic at a time. If you want to move a swarm of topics, open the pod of the list of topics and you can select as many as you want. Then drag the subjects selected to the folder on the project manager pod. Be a little careful when you drag. Often the mouse will pass over a tab at the bottom of the basket, and this can change their minds about you.

• Table of contents, Index and changes in formatting disappears in RoboHelp...

  Hi guys,.

  Recently, I learned how to link and synchronize with RoboHelp Word documents. However, I am having a few problems when I updated the project RoboHelp change Word document after I right click on the file > update inside the pod project manager.

  The current challenges, I am experiencing the following:

  1. The clue that I have configured with the selected words of subject pages becomes empty after I updated the Word document in Robohelp.
  2. The table of contents becomes white after I updated the Word document in RoboHelp.
  3. I had to remove the excess on some Pages in the topic space because it looked funny when the previewed image. When I updated the Word document in Robohelp, returned the excess space that I removed...
  4. Another weird issue is that, sometimes, the changes I make in RoboHelp overrides any Word document. For example, if I have added text to a particular topic within the Word document and save it, Robohelp will not update the contents of the pages of the section with the Word changes even after I've updated the file inside RoboHelp...

  I'm not entirely sure how to work around these problems or if I'm doing something wrong. I really want to use the capabilities of RoboHelp synchronization, as it is more efficient for single source reasons.

  Advice and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  1. You do not use the project for related Word documents index. You insert a placeholder for a separate index. See the pages on the links on my site.
  2. I guess that now you do not have OCD, other than that of the linked document.
  3. It's probably because the excess space comes from the Word document. You will need to fix here.
  4. To get a change in RoboHelp and a different change in Word, when you update the RoboHelp change sticks and the word it is not applied? Which can only happen if you protect your changes. Again, see my site.

• Table of contents, lack of output Responsive HTML5 (Robohelp 2015)

  Problem : When I generate Responsive HTML5 output using a conditional compilation expression, there is no TOC in the output.

  I know that good content is included in / excluded from the output based on the research I'm doing in the output. The only problems seems to be there is no table of contents.

  This could be the cause of this problem?

  Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

  Dawn

  I will check later but it seems that you are missing a key point that I made in my previous answer (16 in the thread).

  You said that you have removed all the tags with the exception of a few topics. I said to apply a different tag to subjects you don't want not included but you don't have that, you have applied just 911 that you want and the TOC then included everything. It's normal and covered in the page on my site, I have spoken to you. http://www.Grainge.org/pages/authoring/build_expressions/expressions.htm

  Build Expressions

  The last point he subjects unmarked reads:

  Note that any topic that has NO tag should be included in the output.

  So what you declare in your previous post. I am sure that all unwanted subjects with any other tag marking will fix things.

• 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.

• Table of contents are not present in CHM output generated with Robohelp 2015

  Hello. When I generate CHM output HR 2015, the table of contents are missing, but the search and glossary tabs are present. I won't open the file from a server, but from my desk. I copied from the server on my desktop and renamed it. The file has been created, I believe, RH 9, but I generated successfully exit CHM with this file in HR 10. Any ideas? Thank you!

  If I were in your shoes, the next thing I would try is to open the pod output configuration. Define a new CHM window there. So be sure to choose this new window in your presentation of single Source recipe.

• 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.

• Script errors in the table of contents in RoboHelp 9

  Hello, all. I can usually find the solution to my problem by searching for existing threads, but I can't seem to find a solution this time. I recently upgraded to RoboHelp 7 to 9.0.2.271. I published WebHelp locally and checked the files in to a Team Foundation Server to be deployed in a test environment. Locally and on the QA site, the output seems fine for me and the table of contents works as expected. However, other users on Internet Explorer 7 and 8 (I have IE8) are getting script errors when you try to click on the pages of the table of contents.

  I compressed my files the and dropped on a shared and player asked a user to copy on his machine and open the start with his browser page. He always gets the script errors, while another user can open locally without any problem. This makes me think that the problem is not in RoboHelp files themselves, but I'm not sure.

  To further complicate things, in this environment, another server of QA, the table of contents and Index are empty! This is obviously a separate issue, but I'm stumped. This problem occurs in IE 6, 7 and 8. It does NOT occur in Firefox or IE 9.

  Any ideas?

  This problem has been resolved with a response from another discussion:

  Re: RH8 > WebHelp > TOC will not be rendered in IE8 via HTTPS - Fix/workaround solution?

  If the table of contents/Index/Search does not work in IE7/8/9 via HTTPS, try the following steps

  1. Go to https://acrobat.com/#d=WqbdTq-2R79ToU08-zfBEw
  2. Download the IESearchIssue.zip file. Unzip it.
  3. It will create an IESearchIssue folder. It has two subfolders
     1. RH8.0.2
     2. RH9.0
  4. If you use RoboHelp 8.0.2, go to the folder RH8.0.2.
  5. If you use RoboHelp 9.0, navigate to the folder RH9.0
  6. Navigate to the \RoboHTML\WebHelp5Ext\template_stock folder and rename the file whutils.js in whutils.js.bak
  7. Now, paste the new whutils.js already copied into the same folder.
  8. Now again generate webhelp output the required project.
  9. Host it on your server and check if it works.

• RoboHelp glossary, Index and table of contents features

  I looked online training that contained a very nice glossary.  I'm trying to figure if Robohelp is what I need to accomplish something like that, since he claims to have this great glossary, Index and the characteristics of the table of contents.  However, I can't find a demonstration developed in Robohelp showing what those characteristics are capable.  Anyone know of any event that I could check to see if you have what I'm looking for before buy you?

  Hi, Melbert2000

  It is not clear if you use RoboHelp already or who have installed the trial as part of your assessment. Assuming that you have, each version of RoboHelp comes with examples of projects to help explore the features. For example, Adobe RoboHelp 8 comes with a project called Web graphics.

  It would be a quick way to see the table of contents/Index/Glossary in action on my site, called Clownfish school.

  http://www.showmethedemo.com/clownfish_school/

  You will notice that the glossary is visible in two ways. First of all, like a glossary that appear in the Navigation pane. Second is in the form or the hotspots in expansion in the text of the heading. You can see some examples if you go to the 'News of Thailand and the Greece' topic click the brown color words "Anemonefish" and "Clowns" and you will see how hotspots glossary display or hide the by clicking on them.

  As part of your evaluation of the purchase, I recommend you download the Adobe RoboHelp evaluator Guide here to get a better idea of the different characteristics:

  And the graphic Web project can be downloaded here:

• RoboHelp 10 - is possible to change the icon of the TOC so that a 'book' in the table of contents. See the attached screen shot.

  Hello

  Risk can be achieved, but if there is, it will have to be changed to code JavaScript and some "behind the scenes" files You would also be painted in the corner of having to do the same changes every time you generate the output.

  If anyone knows how to get there, it will be Willam. It will perhaps be pop and Advisor.

• Characters Czechs corrupt in the Table of contents

  Hello world.

  I'm working on a project large enough help in Czech. This isn't something that I started from scratch, I took during a colleague who recently left our company, so I don't know much about how it was done.

  The project is made of 3 elements, resulting in 3 CHMS which are then copied into the same folder with other CHM using some sort of algorithm.

  Once all of these files (CHMS 4 in total) are copied to the folder Help software, they are shown as a component only when you click the button in the software - which means that you see a table of contents complete with chapters of each 3 files).

  The problem is when I compile the individual CHMS, I get the message " " "characterparameters HTML help a not supported for the selected language. Do you want to continue? »

  If I continue, the file is compiled and when I open it, the table of contents seems ok. However, when I copy with the other files and open in the software (a program of type CAD) some characters are replaced with something else:

  
  

  I use Robo help 10 and the police in the files is Verdana. I read on another thread than the police could be the problem, but I don't know how to change in all files (except perhaps to Internet Options in the chm directly?)

  My regional settings are also defined in Czech when I compile the file, so it shouldn't be a problem. However, whenever I compile, I get this message and corrupt characters are displayed using the software.

  Can anyone help with this?

  Thanks in advance.

  From my experience, namely character such problems can sometimes more an art than a science. This is what it looks like anyway.

  A few issues involved can be:

  1. Language for non-unicode programs office must match the output of the Control Panel, in the dialog box language and region , on the administration tab, make sure that the language of non-unicode programs is set to the target language.
  2. Language settings in RoboHelp - under file | Project settings, ensure that you have set the language in HR in Czech for all projects. In addition, in the pod of single Source Layouts, right-click on the output and choose Properties in the drop-down list, and language , make sure that it is set in Czech.
  3. Encoding of characters in the file itself - open the file (in this case .hhc) within a text editor like Notepad ++ and in menu coding , check its character encoding. By experience, it must be on encode them in UTF-8 encode in UTF-8 without BOM.
  4. Character encoding in the tag XML - also in Notepad ++, check the coding in the first tag line 1. My hhc file that we translated into Czech, it is set to

• RHCL do not pick up to the table of contents or index

  Hello

  We used RoboHTML 9.0.2 for our documentation. We connecting to our legacy word documents and generate webhelp from those. It works very well.

  We do not seek to the script process. We try to use RHCL from the command line to update the webhelp every night. The problem is that the index and the table of contents is not included in the generated file.

  I created a quick test with all our normal parameters project, and it works very well from the GUI of RoboHTML. When I indicated that I wanted to import the table of contents and the index of the working paper, I was asked to enter a new name for each. So for the Index, I have an empty index generated automatically with the same name as the project ("Demo_Wrapper"), which was initially marked as default. I have another clue, which bears the name I gave ("DW_Ind"). This index is up to date and complete the correct information. I have a setup similar to the table of contents.

  We cannot understand why everything is fine in the script generated webhelp outside these aspects. For example, the skin is correctly copied everywhere.

  Any help is more than welcome.

  Thank you

  Hello Steve,.

  You can follow these steps:

  (1) open RobohelpHTML and double click the release you want to generate RHCL (launch Robohelp HTML 9-> under single Source Layout Pod-> Double click on WebHelp)

  (2) Webhelp settings window, under content, choose your default content categories

  (3) choose your table of contents Index & Drop Down Menu and save changes

  (4) generate WebHelp output of command RHCL, table of contents and the Index should appear this time

• Minor emergency - copy of the table of contents

  Hi guys,.

  What a day for having a panic... hope there are a few other fine individuals out there work and looking for a way to earn their Badge to act good Christmas...

  OK, so I think it's really simple. I am currently a table of contents for a customer who wants only parts of the information contained in our webhelp, but I'd like any first of the generic TOC. I was stupid (very, very possible) or is there no easy way to make a table of contents based on one that already exists? I can drag and drop the files in project in the project manager, but they are not organised brilliantly and it would take much more time to make sure they were all in the right place...

  Does anyone know a quick fix to this?

  Thanks in advance if anyone can help...

  Hello

  If you use RoboHelp HTML 7 or 8, you can easily copy a table of contents in the table of contents Editor.

  First, open the pod of table of contents Editor. Then click on the button create a table of contents in the toolbar of the OCD pod.

  

  From there, click on new and place a check mark in the check box to copy the Table of contents by existing.

  Type a name for the new table of contents and choose the table of contents to copy and you should be good to go.

  Hi Rahul

  There are a few things you need to check here. I will assume from the images, you create the CHM files.

  First, open the project set-up pod and expand the Windows folder. Change the properties of your CHM window, and then make sure that the option to synchronize the table of contents has been activated.

  

  Once you've done that, change the properties of single Source available and click the change... button. This should open another dialog box where you must click on the Styles tab OCD make sure you check the option always show selection .
