Quick way to apply 'see also' or 'in this section' ??

RH8.02 HTML

Hi all,

I'm wanting to add a See Also/Related Topics/In this Section area to my topics and am looking for a way to do it quickly and automatically.

Does RH provide any quick mechanism to add these to topics, say in the bottom on the page.

Basically I want my main/top pages of a section to contain a set of links that points to the other topics in that section. Is there any quick way to do it, or automate it?

I tried to Insert > See Also, and Related Topics but these all created buttons that opened a window, I would prefer the links to sit in the page if possible.

thanks.

Hi Nick

If you create a new project in RoboHelp 8, choose the Project Template type of Knowledge Base.

Once you have created the project shell, examine the "What's New" topic. At the bottom of the topic are some instructions that may help.

Cheers... Rick

I should have mentioned, I'm outputting to WebHelp, some of those features do not work unless its HTML Help (CHM) from what I udnerstan because whenever I try to preview them I get an error. "This operation can only function from HTML Help"

Thanks,

Hi Nick

Indeed it would appear that this is the case. But the message is misleading. The features WILL actually work in WebHelp. The dialog really could stand some re-wording. The WebHelp generation process will convert things for you.

The preview message simply means that you must generate output in order to see it work.

Put it to the test and see!

Cheers... Rick
