Three serious problems occurred when I generated a WebHelp
system (using Robohelp X5.0.2, Build 801 on Windows xp), which had
successfully generated many times before.
1. I have a topic with four links. One link uses the default
link text: the title of the target topic. Three of them use other
text. When I preview the topic in Robohelp (Ctrl-w) all the links
work. However, when I generate the project and view this topic in
the generated webhelp system, only the one whose text is identical
with the target title works. The other three are not even formatted
as links. I checked another topic with non-default link text, and
it worked properly.
2. A number of topic files (not including the one mentioned
above) disappeared from the !SSL! – output folder. These
files appeared in the output, and remained in the top level
directory, but were simply gone from the output directory. (This is
similar to what happened to cde_not, see the General Discussion
post of 8/9/06, but it is clearly not a network problem since I am
working locally.)
3. Numerous links present in Robohelp disappeared from the
generated Table of Contents.
In an attempt to resolve these issues, I
- removed the !SSL! folder from the project directory
- re-opened robohelp with the same xpj file
- regenerated.
Lo and behold, the same problems recurred. What might I be
doing wrong?
