Variables do not work with topic titles

Hello

It seems to be a bug and the limitation of the variables in topic titles. Inserting into the table of contents works very well. The title of the topic in the table of contents is displayed correctly. However, if you do a search, all the subjects that contain a variable in the title appear incorrectly in the results - all text up to and including the variable are cut.

You can not (as far as I can see) insert variable for topic titles using the RoboHelp interface. It is - unlike in the table of contents - you can not select Properties for a subject and insert a variable in the title of the topic (in the table of contents, it means the Page title). The way I put variables in my project (was an I upgraded x 5 to RH7) went through a search and replace operation for all the *.htm files. This included replacing the head HTML < title > < / title > entry. For example:

Before: < title > what is a profile of Bill? < /title >
After: < title > what is < uservariable name = value x Document_type1 x-showvalue = "invoice" > invoice < / uservariable > profile? < /title >

When I search on this topic, the results of research is just profile? This problem applies to all topic titles that contain variables.

It seems that the variables in the headings are not supported by RoboHelp, which is a major limitation of this feature. My project contains many variables in topic titles, which makes useless subject research, as the list of search results is composed mainly of incomprehensible securities and cut.

Someone else has the same problem? Is there a solution?

Thanks for your reply Peter.

Yes, it is indeed a limitation of RoboHelp and the way it uses HTML:

* The title of the topic that appears in the properties of the section and in the search results is stored in the HTML headelement.<br>* The HTML 4.01 standard allows no other items inside<title>(see <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/global.html#h-7.4.2" rel="external nofollow noreferrer">http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/global.html#h-7.4.2</a>).<br>* Therefore, the variables (which work via the <uservariable>tag) do not work in topic titles. Attempt to do so will result in all topic titles or cuts at the time where the <uservariable>tag ends and will crash RoboHelp also (at least in my case) when you try to open the topic.<p class="reply"> <p class="reply">A work around:</p> <p class="reply">1. create a backup of your project.<br>2 use some find/replace tool or script to change topic titles. In my case, I used a series of commands in Perl to do a find and replace. For example:<br>Perl-pi-e /------<title\>How to change a<\ itle\="">variable\ /------<title\>How to change a<\ itle\="">tyre\ /' How_to.htm<p class="reply"> <p class="reply">I hope Adobe finds a way to solve this problem. It is a serious limitation.</p></\></title\></\></title\></uservariable></uservariable>

    You can also try something. To do this, you must go to the EXE VBAI here:

    Right-click on "Vision Builder.exe", and then select Properties.  Make sure "run this program as an administrator" is checked.

    Click OK, and then try to rerun VBAI. You may need to redeploy the variables in the variable Manager until they work properly.

  • Norton Toolbar does not work with Firefox 17, provided Comcast Norton Security Suite, Win 7.

    I have Norton Security Suite provided by Comcast. Norton Toolbar does not work with Firefox 17.0.1 on my Win 7 machine. I lived all the questions on this topic and did all the steps and when I click on "Add-ons", he always says that the toolbar is not compatible. It works with IE, but I prefer to use Firefox.

    I had the same problem in the past. If you call customer Norton service toll-free they have always helped me start (without charges) when I have updated to a new version of Firefox - seems to happen every time even if I run the updates regularly. Hope that this phone help-Norton support is always very friendly and helpful-just Google their 800 number.

    The magnetic site says the requirements are for Windows XP or higher. However, it is not on the Windows Vista or the Windows 7 Compatibility Center.

    You can try the following to see if it will help with compatibility. If the program is not compatible, then you try to install and run the program in compatibility mode.
    Use the following steps:
    (1) right click on the program
    2) click Properties
    3) click on the Compatibility tab
    (4) select run this program in compatibility mode and select Windows Vista or other operating system, the program has been run successfully.

  • eGames Solitaire Master does not work with Windows 7

    Original title; Programs Application Applications Apps game games Legacy Crash crashes Hang Application Compatibility hangs

    Tried master eGames Solitaire, this does not work with windows 7. When will Microsoft a compatabillaty mode that actually works. If this is not the case, stop advertising as such. Its time Microsoft was made responsible for the costs involved in the duty of the latest edition of the software because of their own mess.

    Then you may need to try the modes of virtualization I listed above depending on the version of Windows 7, you have installed. However, XP Mode was created mainly for commercial applications and not for games so graphics intense games may not work correctly even in XP Mode.

    You can check with the manufacturer to see if they have an update or a fix that will allow the game to be run on Windows 7. Since the site egames solitaire Master 3 or 4 Master Solitär does not show to be compatible with Windows 7. However, they show to be compatible with Windows Vista.

    It is the manufacturer of games to make their games compatible with the operating system back.

    other info: the next button does not work with firefox. buttons next and previous works with IE, tor and chrome. the keyboard shortcut for back in firefox (alt + left arrow) does not work.

    I've tried clearing cache and cookies and start firefox in safe mode.

    advice?

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand you have questions only by using the back button in the Firefox browser.

    But I would like more information on this topic in order to help you.

    (1) the back button worked before with Firefox?

    (2) don't you make changes before this problem?

    According to your description, there is no problem with the material since it works with Internet Explorer and Google Chrome. Previous key does not only work with Firefox. Therefore, I would advice you to check with Firefox and see if that helps, because they have more expertise on products here to help you better.

    Hello Jimmie Jr.,

    The problem is that the software or programs that have been created for the previous operating systems such as Windows 95/98/XP have no way to correctly work with an operating system like Windows 7 that did not exist when the programs were written. Windows Vista and Windows 7 have been written on a different kernel of Windows 95 and Windows XP. However, you can try compatibility mode and if this does not work you can try using a virtual machine to run the software. Much of the time the software publisher will publish updates to make old software work with newer operating systems.

    If the program is not compatible, then you try to install and run the program in compatibility mode.

    Use the following steps:

    (1) right click on the program

    2) click Properties

    3) click on the Compatibility tab

    (4) select run this program in compatibility mode and select Windows XP or other system that the program has been run successfully operating.

    Check out the link here: make sure to run older programs in this version of Windows

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows

    If compatibility is not successful, then try and self-test program compatibility issues:

    1. open the program compatibility problems theStart button.

    Then click on Control Panel. In the search box, typetroubleshooter, then clickTroubleshooting. Under programs, clickRun done for previous versions of Windows.

    2. follow the instructions in the troubleshooting.

    If you are unable to install a program, insert the installation disc for the program and, using the Troubleshoot utility, navigate to the program setup file, usually called Setup.exe, Install.exe, or something similar. This utility is not designed to work on programs that have an .msi file name extension.

    If you are running Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate version, install Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP mode (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/default.aspx) and run your software in Windows XP.

    If you run Windows 7 Home Premium, try VirtualBox (www.virtualbox.org) or VMware Player (www.vmware.com), or any other software virtualization part 3rd and install a separate copy of Windows XP (family or professional edition) for this purpose. You can find the virtualization software free that will run on Windows 7 Home Premium.

    Hope this helps you understand better.
