Hi Simon
Topic Templates are easy to create. But they won't help you
with the metadata for existing topics. They are used two different
ways.
* To apply headers and footers across a swarm of existing
topics
* To provide a foundation to build topics as you go
Even if you use them to build the foundation, it's possible
that RoboHelp would strip out the added metadata. (It likes to do
that frequently. Ever so helpfully undoing what we wanted in there!
Sorta like a five year old helping put a swing set together - where
did that g... hey! Bring that back here!)
So even if you used topic templates you might still find
yourself having to post process to obtain the desired result.
Cheers... Rick
