Change minitoc show/hide prompt in RH9

[Guest]

This has been asked regarding earlier versions and I am hoping a solution has been introduced since then. I want to change the default minitoc prompt that reads, in unnecessarily exotic English, "In this Topic Hide" and "In this Topic Show". I would like it to read, plainly and simply, "Show content list" and Hide content list".

Has anyone found a way to do this?

You can change what precedes Show / Hide by right clicking in the mini toc in selecting Format PlaceHolder. I tried changing things in the LNG file but that has no effect so it looks like that is the limit of what you can do.

For what it is worth, you could change Show / Hide in RoboHelp 8. The LNG file contains a Master Page section and changing that in 8 worked. Broken in 9.

Thanks Peter, I had noticed that changing it in the LNG file had no effect in output.

Excellent! Works fine. Just wish it could be a project default rather than a manual task.

My minitoc now appears as:

Contents -- Hide

· Topic 1

· Topic 2

· Topic 3

Which will be clearer to my readers than:

In this Topic Hide
