Does the WinHelp .chm file format not support Bookmarks in
the TOC? I get the error message "This program cannot display the
web page"?
Don't see this mention in the bookmark page in the Robohelp
help.
WinHelp is .HLP format. .CHM files are HTML Help format. I'm
guessing you are using the latter, as you are talking about
bookmarks. Where is your project? If it is on a network, that's
likely the issue here.
Yes, .chm output is the one.
It is not on a network or synched drive, this is why I was
concerned. I thought I had read somewhere deep in the help files a
caveat about using .chm with bookmark.
So, I have a .chm with bookmarks on a local drive.
When the end user clicks on a item in the TOC that was
created using a bookmark, they get the "this program cannot display
the web page" error.
I have gone through and found a few that are working. I
wonder if there is a naming convention I am violating? I don't have
punctuation in the names, spaces seem to be ok.
OK, this is embarrassing but I feel I should document the
answer in case some else has tired old eyes.
There were colons at the end of the non-working bookmarks. I
just could not see them very well when the red spell check
underline was also there.
I have since implemented a "'no colon" policy at the end of
topics, they are redundant anyway.
Which brings up the question, can I change the font size for
Robohelp?
