• topic is not highlighted in the table of contents

  Hello...

  Here is an example of what I want my CHM to look like. As you can see, when I am in the topic in the critical Section, I see that it is highlighted in the table of contents. This occurs for each topic.

  

  In my CHM file, when I click on a topic, this topic is not highlighted in the table of contents. For example, when I click on a link from a different page in the table of contents, the topic I'm on is not highlighted. How can I fix it?

  Another possibility to get the topic open / selected appears highlighted in chm TOC.

  Open the box to generate (HTML Help Options).

  Click on edit in the additional Options section.

  The TOC Styles tab.

  Check the box to show selection always.

  TOC instructions are confusing, I agree.

  To avoid having a table of contents to fill your cursor when you already have a table of contents, place the text in text tool in the existing table of contents, and then choose layout > Update Table of contents.

• 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.

  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.

• Topics by opening the first occurrence in the table of contents

  Background: I created HTML5 Responsive help using HR 2015 for a web application. I organized the Hep role, then pages with these roles, users can access, and then by the tasks users can perform on this page. In many cases, a subject is listed under multiple roles and reuse and efficiency, I just dragged the same theme in the list of the topic in the table of contents as appropriate.

  I also used the text conditionalized on table of contents by role level. Using the example below, I have conditions for physician, nurse, and Patient, but I don't think that this is part of the issue well. Conditionalized roles were created for filtering purposes.

  Question: I have the overview topics that include hyperlinks to headings in red in the example below for each role. When a user clicks the hyperlink in this topic of presentation, he brings them to the FIRST occurrence of this topic in the table of contents, not the link that is associated with their role. When a user with the role of the Patient is in the topic view of their role and click the hyperlink 'Research for patients', help opens on this subject, but the "Searching for patients" in the topic role of physician in the table of contents on the left is highlighted.  Not a show-stopper, but it is confusing for users.

  Also, we had originally planned to use the filter feature to filter role help topics. When I filter to view only a specific role (nurse) and do the steps above, by clicking on the Preview 'Search for patients' hyperlink opens but there is no highlighting in the table of contents because this first occurrence is hidden in all the subjects physician.

  Note: This problem does not occur when I generate the content as WebHelp.

  What I want to do: When the nurse click on the hyperlink for 'Research for patients' of their overview topic, researching topic of patients is open and the search for patients is highlighted in the table of contents under the nurse, not the first occurrence (doctor).

  Questions: Is this a bug or is it repairable? And is it possible to fix it without creating the specific role of topics such as finding doctors for Patients, nursing research for Patients and so forth? I tried to delete the table of contents and start again, but the problem persists.

  Here is an example:

  Doctor

  Patient portal page

  Overview (contains links to sections below - view patient demograhic data, looking for patients, to renew orders)

  Display of the demographics of the patients

  Looking for patients

  Renewal of prescriptions

  Nurse

  Patient portal page

  Overview (contains links to sections below)

  Display of the demographics of the patients

  Looking for patients

  Display of orders

  Patient

  Patient portal page

  Overview (contains links to sections below)

  Update your demographic data

  Display of your prescrpitions

  My opinion would be that this is the expected behavior. My theory is that there is no information within the syntax of hyperlinks. A hypertext link is encoded such that when you click on it, you are taken to the landing page, as if sending the message "find the page named and post it by the specified parameters. What is happening is that the hyperlink goes to the first instance of the HTML page in your table of contents (.hhc file). There is no intelligence, he doesn't "know" that you are in the doctor or the nurse section - section he knows only that the page specified in the table of contents is listed in the file and thus, it only takes you there. The syntax of hyperlinks don't "know" where you are in the help system.

  I just also wanted to report the fault of strike in the Patient section, look a your orders of your example, assuming that you have copied and pasted into this thread.

• 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.

• WebHelp, view a topic that is not present in the table of contents

  Hello

  I'm working on RH8. I use multiple TOC and created a table of contents with only the first 4 chapters. After having generated the WebHelp by using that FAKE, even if I look for a subject that did not exist in the table of contents, I can see the help.

  Ideally, if the topic is not added to the table of contents, should not be displayed even if someone searches for it.

  Please help me with this.

  Looks like you expect the table of contents to control what is in the construction and it's not the way it works. It is simply the pointer on key issues, which may need to support the topics where you wouldn't wish that the user to start and that might clutter up the table of contents.

  What you see, it's the way it is supposed to work and how a HAT I've seen. The table of contents indicates what you want to highlight, the search finds all that is in the build.

  You can use exclude research in properties, introduced in RH8. In this way the subject is in the build-up but not searchable.

  If you don't want certain topics, use TCC to exclude.

• Cannot open the table of contents in the project manager

  I import updates from my subjects and I use RH7. I was working also on the table of contents. I produced my output and had left the project, but when I came back later I can't open the table of contents now. I double click and nothing happens. I right click and select 'Edit' and nothing happens. Someone at - it advice?

  Thank you

  Mike

  Hello

  Maybe try clicking on File > Load Default environment?

  Then try opening the table of contents.

  Maybe something went wrong with the placement of the table of contents Editor.

• Buttons previous as well as the next topic would work in a complete table of contents or only in a book?

  Hi all

  I have a project of webhelp with several books and browse sequences.  The previous buttons as well as the following topic seem to operate with a single book.  Is that how it is supposed to work?  And if so, is there a way to make it work for OCD together through all the books?  With the help of HR 2011.

  Thanks for any help.

  Diane

  Hello

  What you have to do is to create a large single sequence that runs through all of the topics in the table of contents. Exactly how do you this depends on your version of RoboHelp. For example, if you use the version 10 and earlier versions, choose the auto create option and enter 0 for the number of levels.

  

  If it is version 11 or 2015 Release, there is an interesting option provided.

• 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.

• RH7 topics in the table of contents report?

  I have a project that has 11 different layouts: 2 go to WebHelp, 9 go to Word, with the content variable determined by the two tables of contents and conditional build tags. The customer wants minor changes to a few topics in the Word output. The fastest way is to edit Word documents and source files separately, due to the time it takes to generate a new output in Word and then reformat the content to make it good.
  Is there an easy way to know about a particular topic, which ToC (or presentation) he appears in? variants of 114 subjects x 11 ToC = a lot of lists to cross-check!

  I just discovered a partially useful answer.
  In the list of topics RH7, it shows a column called "name of the table of contents. Drag this column as wide as possible, and you can see all the tables of contents appearing in the heading.
  After changing topics, I click the Date header to sort by date so that the latest changes appear at the top. Then I see what table of contents that they are, in a view. All what I need now is to print it. I guess there is always a 'Print Screen'!

• Use the table of contents theme in several projects

  I spent the time by changing the color of items for my Table of contents and managed to save it as a custom TOC theme. However, this theme does not appear as a selection in other projects. Because I don't see a way to export the theme to the table of contents How do you use it other projects? I used the theme > save as option, but when I import the theme in a new project the theme of the table of contents does not appeal to.

  When you go to the project - Table of contents - skin - default default theme says. Click on the arrow and you should see your custom theme renamed to TOC inside - it is not alpahbetically. I just did this and kind of panic when I don't see my modified Pearls appear, but he was there at the bottom of the list! I hope this helps.

• I do not see the table of contents, Index, search & amp; Glossary when the call for help on a topic

  Does anyone else have this problem? I use webhelp with contextual sensitivity, and I appeal to the table of contents, Index, search, and glossary to display. If I go to the welcome home page, they are exposed. But when we ask for help on a particular page, these areas are not shown, but they can be opened using the view link. I much prefer to see the exposed left pane, rather that ask the user to click on this link. How can I do this?

• How to display a complete tree of the table of contents in the body of a page instead of the sidebar?

  How to display a full (project) TOC tree in the body of the pages of the section instead of the default sidebar (left pane)? Is there a simple way to do this in the application? I have not yet discovered a way to do it, but I can't get to the right place. Any suggestions?

  I don't think you can view the table of contents on a page, and even if you could, the sidebar would always be there for indexing and search. The only possibility I can think of is to create a page where you create links arranged to act as a TOC, then maybe iFrame this page in. Each book might be a drop-down list to view links to topics.

  Maintenance would be horrible and she barely meets your requirement to be simple.

• Conditional User Defined Variable in the table of contents to RH10

  Hello

  I have a unique project created with tags of conditional compilation for a product in several countries. The name of the company was the same in all three countries, but now the name of the company in a country is about to change. I created UDVs with conditional compilation of tags to apply the appropriate name when aid is produced (Yay for RoboHelp 10 for allowing this).

  There are 58 topics in the table of contents that include the name of the company in the title of the topic. My problem is, if I include the UDV to the title of a page in the table of contents, conditional text is ignored.

  I guess that's because the table of contents allowing in conditional constructions apply to the page or the book itself and no text in the name of the page or the book.

  Please can someone confirm that this is the case? If so, I'll make a suggestion to Adobe.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I hope that Willam won't mind my expand a little on the issue.

  I note that you already seemed to be aware that the UDVs are possible in the text of the table of contents. And if I understand correctly, your problem here is that you want to condition the UDV in the table of contents, right?

  Certainly a way to do that would be to have two different TOC entries. And apply tags to each, so that one or the other would be excluded. But to be honest, I always avoided tagging the elements of the table of contents that I saw myself mixed results.

  The thought here for me is that I wonder why you feel the need to apply a condition to a variable? Why not use a different version of the variable? Of course, you create variables and insert them, but you can actually create different sets of variables that have different values, then when you create your output you simply choose the Variable you want to use.
