TOC treeing in sync with hyperlink navigation

Report · Apr 17, 2012

A requirment for the project I'm working on is to create a process map (check) that links to procedure documents (check, using hyperlink mapping). All good, but the TOC in the left pane needs to open/tree out to the document that has been jumped to through the hyperlink. Is there a way in RoboHelp 9 (upgrading tomorrow) to make the TOC sync to the open document?

Thank you,

Rob

I thought that was controlled by the SSL layout recipe when you generate the help. Something about auto-synching?

@Jeff - Maybe... Maybe not. Depends on the output type.

HTML is the output for the company intranet.

Thanks,

Hi Rob

Saying "HTML" is the output is like asking what brand of automobile you drive and you tell us it's a Car.

However, you did also say that "it's the output for the company intranet" so that does hopefully narrow the choices somewhat. So my guess here is that it's either WebHelp, FlashHelp or Web Based AIR Help.

I'll choose WebHelp here. If it's something different, you can come back and tell us or possibly you will see what I'm showing here in the dialog and that may help with another output type.

Look at the Navigation section of the Single Source Layout recipe.

Cheers... Rick

Thank you, and my apologies. I'm teaching myself as I go and terminology is the last thing to learn, I guess. That's what I needed. My car and I thank you.

Hi there

What is the output type you are producing? Depending on the answer to that will depend on where you make the adjustment that governs TOC synchronization.
