Finding all topics where a particular style is used?

[lillibetUK]

Hi All.

In RoboHelp 7, does anyone know how I can find all topics that use a particular style from my CSS? I want to update a style but need to ensure it updates correctly in all topics.

I've failed to find this in the help or by searching the forum. Many thanks.

Hi Lillibet.

You can right click on your CSS file and select Properties to identify which topics are associated with it but I am not aware of a way inside RH where you can identify a specific CSS file style. I think you'll have to do a global find on the topics you identify using the technique I've mentioned to find the relevant style.

Depending on the style, a multi file find and replace search on

<tagname> (such as <h1>

or

class="yourstylename"

will find all the topics using the tag or class. The built in tool also allows you to click View for each of the topics listed after the search.

You're a star Peter. That's worked a treat.

I haven't used the Multi-File Find and Replace for a long time. It didn't cross my mind to use it for finding a style!

Thank you,
