Index in .chm file is incorrect

Hi,

I'm using RoboHelp X5 with Windows XP SP3. I have an index that is correct in RoboHelp but not in the .chm file. In RoboHelp, I have General Ledger as a keyword and several sub-keywords. However, in the .chm file, the sub-keywords show up under General Ledger Journal instead of General Ledger. I've attached screen shots of both at the bottom of this post, and I've pasted the applicable section of the project's .hhk file. (The .hhk file is really long, so I didn't want to insert the whole thing.)

While troubleshooting this issue, my coworker changed the keyword from General Ledger to General edger, and that fixed the problem, but obviously we can't keep it that way.

I tried the following:

  • Compared that section of the HHK file to others. I may have missed something, but it looked OK to me.
  • Started the project, deleted the HHK file, and then saved a change to the index so RH regenerated the HHK file.
  • Deleted the .cpd file.
  • Deleted and reentered all of the keywords.

When the issue first started, the General Ledger subkeywords appeared under Future Periods instead of General Ledger Journal - I'm not sure what I did to change that, but I think it was when I deleted and then reentered the Future Periods keyword.

Unfortunately, none of these worked.I saw another thread with a similar issue where the solution was to create a second index and copy the keywords to it, but I don't think X5 allows a second index.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Hmmm, odd.

I'd try associating a topic with the General Ledger keyword. Compile again and see if anything changes.

Cheers... Rick

Hi there

Are you using any Build Tags along with a Build Expression to control the output?

I ask because the screen capture of the CHM seems to intimate that General Ledger is absent from the list. If it was linked to a topic and the topic was removed from the build, it would seem to make sense.

Cheers... Rick

Hi Rick,

Thanks for responding so quickly. That particular keyword, General Ledger, is not linked to a topic.

Thanks Rick! That fixed the problem. Fortunately, we had an overview topic that made sense to associate with that keyword.Hopefully we won't run into it again with a keyword that we don't want to associate with a topic.   If we do, I'll be back.
