Need help to migrate Robohelp 10 to Mediawiki

[Aaron_Fraser]

Hi.

I use Adobe Robohelp version 10. I am planning to migrate Robohelp to MediaWiki and on web i can see the below link

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:RoboHelp2Wiki

This link has process to convert  RoboHelp X5.0.2 through Adobe RoboHelp 8 to MediaWiki but I have Adobe RoboHelp 10. Can anyone let me know if the same procedure can be used for Adobe RoboHelp 10 to Mediawiki conversions?

Will this still be the requirement?

Requirements[edit | edit source]

• RoboHelp X5.0.2 through Adobe RoboHelp 8
• Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 or later
• Login to a MediaWiki Wiki 1.7 through 1.11 (1.15.1 if source code is updated as per discussion)

The export described is the same in RH10 as it is in RH8. So I would

guess you would be fine.

If you tried it, please let us know whether it worked for you.

Kind regards,

Willam

Hi William,

I am not able to do this step as i cant find option Export Project to XHMTL on RH10. Can you please help.

Step 1 RoboHelp[edit | edit source]

• From within RoboHelp, move all image files in RoboHelp to a root directory called images
• Generate a XML Output file from the Single Source Layouts. To do that, you have to choose the option Export Project to XHMTL
• Note the name of the XML Project.

Hi there

Look in the Single Source Layouts pod. You may need to right-click the pod and choose to create a new layout. From there, you would then see XML among the choices.

Cheers... Rick

It worked ! Thank you 🙂

[Willam_van_Weelden]

Ok. Go to the Single Source Layouts pod. Click the New Layout button

(the document with the star). In the field Output Type select the XML

Output option.

You generate this output just as you would a another output.

Kind regards,

Willam

Hi,

  I am facing issue in Migrating Robohelp to Wiki. The MediaWiki I am using is 1.15.1 and the RoboHelp2Wiki V0.9 conversion tool I have received from JK Group supports MediaWiki 1.7 and above.

I have learnt that by making some modification to the source code of RoboHelp2WIki and recomplile the java file, things would work fine, I am not able to find the source code for RoboHelp2Wiki online or even after  requesting JK Group.

Can anyone please let me know how to proceed with this.

Since this tool is released under GNU license, I would expect the JK

Group to publish the source code. I'm not a legal expert, but I think

that the license requires them to give you the source code if you

receive their application:

For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether

gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same

freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive

or can get the source code.

I would urge you to contact them again.

If you get the source code and update the application, you must also

release it under GNU. I'd be happy to host your version of the software

and the source code for posterity.

Kind regards,

Willam
