Context-sensitive help files for mobile/desktop

[Guest]

I will be making two sets of help files in RH10: one set for mobile users and another for desktop users. I need to link them to the product based on context, for example, when a mobile user clicks the link for the user guide/help documentation, he/she will be directed to the set of files for the mobile version. I'm sure I'm making this more complicated than it needs to be. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Also, I need to be able to link within the files. I'm not sure if this becomes more complex due to the layout or if it all functions the same.

Very new to all of this so I apologize if I'm not explaining something correctly or using the correct terminology.

Hi, SeanM303

You'll find all the Context Sensitive Help "APIs" that can be used by application developers here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe RoboHelp 10\CSH API (or whereever it may be installed on your OS)

Here are all the supported languages

Documentation which your developers will want can be found here in the online help:
