Paragraph After a Snippet

Report · Jul 24, 2008

I have snippet in RH7 which when inserted in the topic looks fine I close the topic and re open it a a blank paragraph has been inserted after the snipet.

Code for snipper below:

<!doctype HTML public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Frameset//EN">
<html><head>
<meta http-equiv=content-type content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<meta name=generator content="Adobe RoboHelp - www.adobe.com">
<meta name=generator-major-version content=0.1>
<meta name=generator-minor-version content=1>
<meta name=filetype content=RoboHelp>
<meta name=filetype-version content=1>
<meta name=page-count content=1>
<meta name=layout-height content=922>
<meta name=layout-width content=1271>
<title>Run SET</title>

</head>
<body>
<a href="Run_SET.htm">Run SET</a>

Snippets have to be paragraphs. See David Locke's article on Adobe's site.

Hi thanks for your comment. I thought my snippet was a paragraph it is enclosed in a tag. What confuses me is that when I first insert the snippet it looks fine in both the editor and preview see below.

After I save, close, and reload the topice it looks like this;

Hi all

If you are displaying paragraph markers you will notice that inserting a snippet does indeed add an additional paragraph between the snippet and the following text. To my knowledge, it's only a frustrating thing and you may simply delete the offending or unwanted paragraph marker following the snippet. Personally, these aren't zombified on my PC. By that, I mean that they don't seem to spontaneously come back from the dead zone after closing and re-opening the topic.

Cheers... Rick

Hi

Unfortuantely the paragraph reappears after saving and re-opening the opic. I have other snipets in the same project that work fine.

Have you tried deleting the snippet using the option not to delete references to it and then creating a new version. Backup the project first.

Hi

I have created a new project using the default style sheet. And created a similar snippet. the problem occurs every time.

When I place th snippet it puts 2 paragraph s after it I deleted them all looks fine. save and reopen the topic and one has returned. TEh snipper is being insert in a <ol>tag.

When it is displayed OK the HTML looks like this

<ol><li class=p>This is the first topic in your project. Delete this
text and replace it with your own. To add a new topic, click the New
Topic button on the tool bar.</li>
<li class=p><placeholder id="snippet_test"></li>
<li class=p>This is the first topic in your project. Delete this
text and replace it with your own. To add a new topic, click the New
Topic button on the tool bar.</li>

After saving and reopening it looks like this:

<ol><li class=p>This is the first topic in your project. Delete this
text and replace it with your own. To add a new topic, click the New
Topic button on the tool bar.</li>
<li class=p>
<placeholder id="snippet_test">
</li>
<li class=p>This is the first topic in your project. Delete this
text and replace it with your own. To add a new topic, click the New
Topic button on the tool bar.</li>

I just noticed it also does this as I swap between Design view and HTML view
