Robohelp 9 numbered HTML lists problem
I'm having problems with HTML lists in Robohelp 9 that are converted from linked Framemaker 10 xml files. The list numbering restarts from zero after the 9th item and I can't find anywhere that could be configured!
The configuration for the conversion in the Robohelp 'Conversion settings' for the relevant numbered list paragraph in Framemaker is 'Convert autonumber to HTML list'.
Many thanks in advance for any pointers.
Regards,
Nick
Are you sure it actually restarts from zero? Have you checked the HTML code? My initial thought after reading this was that you might have some issues with CSS margins and alignments hiding the number in front of your zero. Numbers that should be 10, 11 etc. but shows up as 0,1, 2,3 etc.. Anyways, I would post an image that visualizes your output from RH.
Edit: Have you tested a larger list (20+) to see if things are repeated?

Position of Numbers in List (RoboHelp 8 HTML)
Apologies if this question has been answered before; I looked through a lot of threads about numbering and lists.
My question is whether you can change the numbers in an ordered list to appear left justified. Currently, when a numbered listed goes into double digits, it looks like this:
9. Step 9
10. Step 10
Would it be possible to make it look like this, with the 1 in 10 directly under the 9 instead of to the left:
9. Step 9
10. Step 10
I have tried changing different settings but am not sure how to go about it.
If this is not possible, is there a setting to allow numbers/characters to appear in the margin area of a topic? In my project, we don't indent any of our lists - they need to line up with the paragraph above (which is not indented and start at 0 pt). This seemed to work in RoboHelp 5, but we have upgraded to 8 and now the 1st digit is cut off when you get to step 10. For example:
Appearance in RH5:
Paragraph text.
1. Step 1, etc
9. Step 9
10. Step 10
11. Step 11
You can see both digits in the number 10 in design view as well as in the published webhelp. The first digit is to the left of everything (even to the left of the "Normal" paragraph style which is 0pt), but you can still see it. However, in RH8, you can see both digits in design view, but not in preview or in webhelp. In preview/webhelp, it looks like this, with the first digit being cut off:
Paragraph text.
1. Step 1, etc.
9. Step 9
0. Step 10
1. Step 11
Is there any way to change this so the first digit appears in the preview/webhelp?
Thanks very much and please let me know if I haven't been clear.
ChrisHi Chris.
I know you are looking for a solution to this numbering problem, and frankly, I don't have one. But since this isn't the first numbering / outline position issue I have seen with RH, especially RH8, I had to interject a question.
Why are you even numbering instructions? Have you considered not doing so?
I know you are probably thinking I am an idiot - but here's the thing. In the past 15+ years I have been in the wonderful world of help authoring, I have NEVER numbered a set of instructions, unless ordered to do so - and I usually could convince my opponent that it wasn't necessary. And guess what? No end user has EVER complained that the process they were following didn't work because they did the last thing first, or the third thing eighth, or whatever.
I have always used bullets. Sometimes, I will use checkboxes as the bullets - but that's as fancy as I get. I do indent my Procedure style a little too. But that's it. Although end-users can be hysterically silly sometimes, I think that they do now have the presence of mind to follow a set of instructions in the order that they are given.
OK, that's my two cents. Off my soapbox. But seriously. Consider how much effort you are taking to force instructions into a format that probably isn't necessary.
Good luck, if you decide to press on. -
Populate HTML LIST ITEM with a query
Hello,
I've a problem,
I'm building a portlet based on an html form.
In this forms there are several list items,
How can I populate an html list item with a dynamic query based on a db table?I hope you are looking for something like this
declare
v_ret_string varchar2(32767);
begin
v_ret_string := ' <TABLE BORDER="1" bordercolor="#0000FF" bgcolor="#FFFFF0">
<TR><TD><TABLE BORDER="0" CELLSPACING="3" CELLPADDING="0">
<BR>
<TR><TD ALIGN=middle><SELECT SIZE="1" NAME="emp_list">
<OPTION VALUE="">';
For get_emp_list In (Select ENAME,EMPNO
From SCOTT.EMP
Order by ENAME) Loop
v_ret_string := v_ret_string || '<OPTION VALUE="'||get_emp_list.EMPNO||'">'||get_emp_list.ENAME;
End Loop;
v_ret_string := '</SELECT></TD></TR><TABLE></TABLE>';
End;
which uses PL/SQL code to generate the html page.
Thanks

Adobe RoboHelp 8 has encountered a problem and needs to close.
I am trying to generate a project as WebHelp and after about 10 minutes of generating, the following error message appears: "Adobe RoboHelp 8 has encountered a problem and needs to close."
I am able to generate all other projects, just not this project.
This project is not on the network. It used to be on the network, but I moved it to my local directory awhile ago.
I tried restarting the computer. I tried generating from another computer and that did not work either.
I tried repairing the CPD through Microsoft Access. (I am not able to rename the CPD, because when I do that, almost all of my topics appear as broken links, so I use Microsoft Access to repair the CPD instead).
Is there anything else I can check or try?
Thanks,
DebbieThanks. I didn't see anything in the .HHP.
However, I think I'm getting closer to finding the solution (at least I
think I've found the problem).
I have various conditional tags. One is called "uni2" and one is called
"Remove_in_uni2".
When I generate with "uni2" excluded and "Remove_in_uni2" included, the
WebHelp generates.
When I switch them ("Remove_in_uni2" excluded and "uni2" included), then I
get the error.
I tried removing the underscores - didn't work.
I tried renaming it to RemoveIn18 - didn't work.
Any suggestions, anyone?
Thanks,
Debbie

Subject: Adobe RoboHelp 8 has encountered a problem and needs to close.
The CPD is created from RoboHelp's internal files so a repair will not
necessarily fix the issue as Access will not know what to look for. A
rebuild is what is needed and it should not result in the broken links you
are seeing. However, that can happen and I have seen it. After repairing
the links, I had no further problems. Try generating a CHM first as if that
will create, it may make changes to the HHP that prevent the broken links.
Also take a look in the HHP for any obvious path errors.
Do you have many folders in the project? If not, creating a new project
should not be too painful as you can import all the topics in a folder in
one hit.

Getting "Adobe RoboHelp 8 has encountered a problem..." error. Cannot open project
Windows XP / RH8 / RoboSource Control 3.1
Tried to open a project that I have not accessed for while. After clicking Yes or No to the "Get latest..." queston I get the error "Adobe RoboHelp 8 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
I have tried repeatedly with the same results. Forum search finds several results but see nothing that matches this.
I'm thinking there may be a project file to delete that may allow me to get the project open but thought I should ask first.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

How to fix "Adobe RoboHelp 7 has encountered a problem" error?
I am using Adobe RoboHelp 7 to create WebHelp, with Windows XP. I haven't worked on my help project for about 10 days, and suddenly when I try to open the project I get this message: "Adobe RoboHelp 7 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." Other help projects DO open, so it's something about this one. I went to the TechNote called "Troubleshoot system errors and freezes in RoboHelp 7 (Windows XP)" and followed its first steps: downloaded all the updates for RoboHelp 7, installed current Windows service packs (except for IE 8, which gave me a problem last time I tried to install it), and deleted temporary files. None of these solved the problem. Now I am defragmenting my disk, but I don't have much hope for that.
Can anyone help? I'm near the end of my project and am under time pressure to make some changes!
Thank you!It is very rare for a project not to open after renaming the CPD and when it does, the HHP is the fallback. I cannot recall a project failing to open from the HHP, albeit with some damage.
As Willam says, I think you are going to have to look at the article on my site.
Many files have names based on the project name. Are they all correctly named? What I am getting at is whether a filename has got out of sync.

Because I have taken over 9,999 images, my phone is now duplicating image numbers. The problem is that Image Capture now imports BOTH images when I select the new ones that share numbers with old ones. The images were completely mixed when they showed up in Image Capture - Old image 0001, new image 0001, old image 0002, new image 0002 and so forth. I clicked on "date," which then rearraged the images, and I selected only the new ones, but when they actually import to my computer BOTH old and new images are importing. Has anyone figured out how to solve this problem?
Well, obviously all I needed to do to solve the problem was to post about it. It has stopped, so all is well!

Posterous blog HTML Snippet problem - not all of blog is showing up...
Good morning all! So I was looking for a solution for our newly formed website (I'm a novice) where I could have multiple users update our blog page without having to use iWeb to do it. I read up on Posterous and it appears this would be an ideal solution. So I found some code from another Apple Discussions poster, Alancito, that would pull my Posterous blog directly into the iWeb page I created. Well it has done that, sort of...
I see the header from the blog, but the content isn't visable. Well, actually if you highlight the header or "blog differently" and then hold down like you're scrolling down the page, the info is there. But the HTML snippet always cuts it off. Even if I expand the size of the snippet in iWeb, it ALWAYS reverts back to this same size.
I'm in a bind here and could really use some help.
Here's the blog page address: http://www.sporkfoodwagon.com/SporkFoodWagon/Blog.html
And here's the code I was provided.
<iframe height="100%" allow transparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="width:100%;border=none" src="http://sporkfoodwagon.posterous.com/"></iframe>
Message was edited by: andrewrichardsonAndrew ~ Perhaps someone will suggest a solution to the HTML Snippet problem, but meanwhile, with this recent improvement to Posterous:
http://blog.posterous.com/posterous-unveils-pages
...perhaps you don't need an iWeb site at all. If you must have one, consider linking to your Posterous blog directly from iWeb's navigation bar:
Create a blank internal page titled "Blog" (actually you can name the page whatever you want.) Then in that Blog page add an HTML Snippet with the following code:
<script type="text/javascript">
parent.window.location = "http://www.yourblogname.com"; // change this to your own URL
</script>
...Once published, clicking on "Blog" in the navbar will immediately redirect to your external Blog page. (Thanks to Cyclosaurus for the code).
And to return from Posterous back to your iWeb site:

Numbered bullet list-default values
I have been using Text Expander to insert templates into Pages documents. One of these templates creates a simple numbered bullet list, with only the number one, followed by a period.
When I add text to this bullet list and press enter or return, I get each new number in sequence. However, there is a preset “Text Indent” under the “List” tab, and a preset “Left Tab” under the “Tabs” tab.
The Text Expander macro is saving the text in rich text format.
Is there a way to set default values for the “Number” bullet list in the tab value, such that I do not have these indents and tabs whenever I start a new bullet list?
Thanks@Jerry-
Thanks much. I've been reading on styles, and it does exactly what I need.

Robohelp X5 For HTML Support Question
We are currently using Robohelp X5 for HTML and are
contemplating an upgrade to version 7 probably later this year. In
the meantime, has there been any discussion about ending support
for X5?
Please let us know - thanks.Hi Wayne
There will be wars and there will be rumors of wars...
X5 was introduced in January 2004. I'm not sure what you mean
by "ending support". If that question is intended to ask if Adobe
will "officially" stop supporting that version, I'm personally not
sure they ever have!
This isn't intended to slam Adobe Support in any way, but
probably your best form of support is right here in these forums.
As for upgrading to version 7, why upgrade to that when 8 is
available and offers a richer experience?

Contact List Problem. I have duplicates on my iPhone. I turned off my Contact and selected "Delete Contacts" Most of the contacts were deleted but about 120 were left on my phone. I've tried selecting individual contacts and deleting them, No Go.
Can anyone help? How do I get rid of these contacts so I can re-synch my iPhone.I have exactly the same problem on my ipad. It is happening on only some contacts but, as with you, when I delete one of the contacts on the ipad, the second ipad contact and the contact on the imac are also deleted.
