I recently had a lot of broken links in my project - many of
which I was able to fix. The broken links I was unable to fix, or
remove from the list, are bookmarks in the project (95 of them to
be exact.) I test the link, and it is fine - it's not broken. Why
is it showing up in the broken link list? If I try to restore the
link, I'll get an error stating that the "#" character cannot be
used in the path. The "#" character signifies that it's a bookmark,
created by RoboHelp, so I don't know why this is happening. Can
anyone assist?
I also wanted to mention that I recently started recieving
the Parameter is Incorrect error message. I have admin rights, so I
don't know why I am receiving the message. When I try to open the
topic properties, I get the message and can still view the
properties, but I cannot delete topics. Would re-installing
RoboHelp help? Any other things I can do besides this?
Are they popup links? If so, RH erroneously adds them to the
Broken Links section (just as it adds topics and images to the
Unused Files report if they are not linked with a plain-vanilla A
tag).
No, the links are linked to bookmark links (a TOC is at the
top of these pages, and when the appropriate link is clicked, it
takes the user to the specified section in the topic.) A new window
or pop up doesn't open; the user stays on the same page.
If you are linking from the top of the topic to a bookmark in
the same topic, you don't need the filename in the link, but
correct form is with quote marks..
If the bookmark is called bookmark, the link would be
< a href="#bookmark" >Go to the bookmark</a>
