1. Re: When converting RoboHelp HTML 9 files to RoboHelp HTML5 11 files, is it transparent and seamless or are there adjustments that need to be made to the output?
Hi there
Normally the process is pretty straightforward. You just make a backup copy of your original project, then open one of them using RoboHelp 11.
Exactly what may need tweaking will depend on what has happened to the project before upgrading. Unfortunately there is no standard list of "always tweak this" or "always do that". You simply have to upgrade, then test to see what may or may not need tweaking.
Cheers... Rick

Thank you for your quick response, Rick. I understand the necessity of making a backup and opening the project to see what may have happened, then making adjustments accordingly.
I was hoping there were users out there who have gone through a conversion and would have had some practical things to look out for that they ran into when converting their documents. Has anyone had that experience? And what did you find?
Thank you for your insights,
Jane

You may want to pay attention to lists – those might be affected

Thanks, Jeff. So you're saying that 'lists' may be affected. I'll certainly make a note of that. Can you tell me more about how they are affected? Was it a matter of indention? Numbering; size of initial or final bullet; background old code that needed to be removed? I remember several years ago when converting some old MS Word documents into RoboHelp that there were the nasty kadavs that needed to be removed. That was quite time consuming. It wouldn't be anything like that would it?
Thanks for your input. I really appreciate it.

Easiest way to test is to take a non-production machine & load the trial on it, then run a copy of your RH8 project on it – watch what happens

There's information on my site about fixing any List issues.
