USING ROBOHELP HTML 10 321 Generating output Generate WebHelp output 1 In the Single Source Layouts pod, double-click the WebHelp layout. Note: If you are not working on a new project, you might find that the default WebHelp layout has been renamed or deleted. Double-click any layout to check its type in the title bar of the layout settings dialog box. You can also add a new layout of a required type by using the Create Layout icon in the Single Source Layouts pod. 2 In the General tab of the WebHelp Settings dialog box, set the following options: Title Bar Specify the title you want to display in the title bar. Favicon Specify an icon to associate with the Help system. The icon appears in the browser tab. Output Folder And Start Page Specifies a location and start page for the Help files. To choose a location for the output folder, click the browse button . To select a start page other than the default for the Help project, enter it using the .htm extension. The start page is a frameset for Help content to which file developers link when calling the Help system from an application. Use Lowercase File Names Create filenames that use only lowercase letters. This option is recommended for UNIX users. Note: Don't select this option for merged projects. Links to topics in other projects will convert to lowercase, whereas the topic filenames will remain the same. The mixed cases create broken links on UNIX. 3 In the Content Categories tab, create content categories to publish the output as a package of user-centric Help systems (for example, a package of Help systems for different user roles, geographies, products, or platforms). End users view the output as an integrated package of Help systems and have the flexibility to select the Help system they want to access from a drop-down list. Each Help system has its own TOC, browse sequences, index, and search. • To create a content category, click New and specify a name. • To rename a content category, select the category. Click Rename and specify another name. • To delete a content category, select the category and click Delete. Click Yes to confirm. • To change the order of the content categories in the drop-down list from which users select, use Up or Down keys. • To specify a content category as the default catgory, click Set As Default. 4 In the Content tab, set the following options for each content category: Content Title Specify a title for the content category. The title appears in a drop-down list and helps users to navigate to a content category. Note: If you've not created content categories, skip this field. RoboHelp uses the title you specified in Help Settings in the General tab. Table Of Contents Select the TOC to be displayed in the generated Help. See "TOCs" on page 173. Index Select the index to be displayed in the generated Help. See "Indexes" on page 178. Glossary Select the glossary to be displayed in the generated Help. See "Glossaries" on page 192. Variable Set Select a variable set to override the default variable set in the generated Help. See "User-defined variables" on page 153. Default Topic The topic that appears when Help opens. By default, the first topic in the table of contents is the default topic. Language Specify the output language for the layout if the language is different from the language of the project. RoboHelp uses this language setting for the UI strings and language-related UI elements in the preview and generated output. Last updated 7/13/2012
