Problems having upgraded from RoboHelp7 to 9

Report · Nov 16, 2011

In Robohelp 7 i had a Template.htt which contained the following default HTML

<!doctype HTML public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Frameset//EN">

I have upgraded to Robohelp 9 which has replaced Templates with Master Pages, the mast page now contains the following default HTML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<head>

Is there a way to change the default HTML? we generate web Help and HTML Help and then use them inside an application. but due to the change in the default HTML problems are occuring. I tried to copy the old HTML over the new HTML but when i saved it just reverted back to what it was before.

Any help with this would be great thanks

Between 7 and 8 RoboHelp changed from generating HTML to generating XHTML.

There is an option to generate RoboHelp edited topics as HTML in Tools > Options. See if that helps. (It only changes the webhelp, CHMs are automatically generated as HTML)

If not, try just adding whichever meta tag is giving you grief but leaving the stuff above the <head> tag unchanged.
