One way to share things like this is using WeTransfer. I've had really good luck with this free service myself.

Great! The RoboHelp project though is about 60MB as a .zip file. Could I share this with you another way?

It would be my pleasure. Can you please send the information to contact [at] wvanweelden [dot] eu?

All layouts created for RoboHelp can be imported and exported, so if you have a layout at one time, you can easily reuse it in all your projects.

Kind regards,

Willam

Thanks Willam. If I send you image comps that illustrate the layout I am trying to create (which would ideally be importable as a .slz file), in addition to the RoboHelp project environment I am working on, could you provide me with a quote?

Hi,

To get this clear: do you (a) want to change the existing template and remove the splitter between the sidebar and the content? Or do you (b) want to create a new custom layout completely according to your specifications?

If (a), comment out line 106-120 in the layout.js file. Also, in every .slp, there is a div with the class closeButton. Remove that DIV as well. That should get rid of it.

For (b), that would require you to build a layout from scratch or really dive into the code to make some changes. I can provide consulting on that or I can help build one for you (for a charge, obviously). Creating something from scratch requires a thorough understanding of HTML, CSS, JS and RoboHelp widgets.

Kind regards,

Willam

If I want to create a template for a new multiscreen responsive layout in RoboHelp 11 HTML 5, for example one that does not have a sidebar separating the TOC from the documentation, what basic changes should be made to the project environment? Is it just a matter of making changes to the CSS and JS files? If so, which ones? Pardon my ignorance.
