I have 26 .HLP files that we converted from .HLP into RoboHelp HTML.
At first glance everything seemed fine. Then we noticed the stylesheets got a little messed up and colours were changed but those were easy enough to fix. Then we noticed that some topics were missing large chunks of data.
I opened a newly created .htm file for a corrupted topic and then opened the old .HLP file and looked at the same topic.
Sometimes indents were converted to numbers such as the following example.
.HLP topic
Line One
First Line
Line Two
Second Line
Line Three
Third Line
Line Four
Fourth line
.HTM topic file created by RoboHelp by conversion:
Line One
1.
Line Two
1.
Line Three
1.
Line Four
1.
Here's another example which seemed to vomit when it encountered numbered lists:
My List
I First
II Second
III Third
IV Fourth
V Fifth
VI Sixth
.HTM topic file
My List
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
So far in one of the projects, I've noticed 50% of the newly created .htm files are missing content.
Has anyone else encountered this? Is there a setting that we missed (hopefully) when we converted from .HLP?
