RoboHelp 8 HTML/TOC Levels/Topic Names

[JGaf]

Hi,

I'm a new user to Robohelp HTML 8.

I have several HTML files (created in Homesite 5.5) that I have imported into Robohelp.  Headings are defined as <h1> <h2> and <h3>.

I have two issues (so far) relating to TOCs that I have been unable to solve.

1.  The name that displays in the TOC listing is the name of the link and not the name of the topic. For example, in <h1><a name="ovr">Overview</a></h1>, the TOC displays "ovr" when I want it to display "Overview".

2.  Robohelp doesn't seem to recognize the differences between <h1>, <h2> and <h3>.  All headings are at the same level.  I have been unable to locate a screen or setting I can use to configure the TOC. Is there one?

I realize that the files I am importing need a lot of tweaking for RoboHelp.  They were used differently, and right now, I'm just  trying to determine the scope of my nightmare 🙂

Thanks for your help!

The code looks like the remnants of a hyperlink, just the name part with no link.

Unless you know something about it, the code does nothing so remove it. You can remove those topics from the TOC and add them back in or just rename them in the TOC editor.

Thank you

Hi,

A link with only a name attribute is a bookmark anchor. You can jump to such a bookmark using a hyperlink. Removing it may break some hyperlinks... The correct syntax however is: <h1><a name="ovr"></a>Overview</h1>. If you correct this, does this solve the wrong label problem?

As for the Headings, do they correctly come through in your topics, or does RoboHelp turn them all into H1?

Greet,

Willam

Doh. Thanks for picking up my dumb error.
