What's new in RoboHelp 10 Authoring enhancements Enhanced Find and Replace RoboHelp 10 comes with a significantly enhanced tool for finding and replacing text across files. The Find and Replace tool works unobtrusively and supports both wild cards and regular expressions. See "Find and replace text in files" on page 134. New External Content Search pod The workflow for setting up search to include external content-a feature introduced in RoboHelp 9-has been streamlined in RoboHelp to provide ease of use. Access the External Content Search pod from the View menu and specify URLs for content available outside the Help system (for example, in blogs) and map them to terms that users are likely to search for. By curating relevant content in this way, you can optimize the search experience for users and provide easy access to user-generated content. See "External content search" on page 216. Support for applying CBTs to external content search definition You can now apply a CBT to each external content search definition. For example, you can add a CBT to make sure that a high-quality video mapped to a search keyword is played only if the output is accessed from a mobile device. For information about the procedure, see "External content search" on page 216. Window creation delinked from primary layout selection In RoboHelp 9, any new window you create is of the same type as the primary layout in the SSL pod. In RoboHelp 10, you can select a window type when creating a window. This feature allows you to delink the creation of a window from the primary layout selection in the Single Source Layouts pod. See "Windows" on page 371. Editing projects over the network Opening and editing RoboHelp projects over the network is a tedious experience in previous versions of RoboHelp. In RoboHelp 10, architectural changes have been made to enable you to access projects over the network. Note: The overall experience depends on your network speed and the size of the project you are accessing. Support for User Defined Variables in topic titles In RoboHelp 10, you can use UDVs not just in topic contents, TOCs, or index terms but also in topic titles. With this enhancement, you can use UDVs instead of actual product names and or feature names in topic titles and avoid rework if these names undergo frequent or last-minute changes. For step-bystep information, see "User-defined variables" on page 153. Support for CSS styling of snippets In RoboHelp 10, you can create different styles for different snippets and attach the style sheets with the snippets. RoboHelp displays the snippet contents with the look-and-feel defined in the style sheet. You can specify a CSS before inserting the table and list style in the snippet, and RoboHelp will copy these styles to the CSS on the first use. For step-by-step information, see "Create and manage snippets" on page 156. Last updated 7/13/2012
