TOC in French version of webhelp does not expand correctly

I have a RoboHelp project (RH 8.0.2.208) created by importing an HTML Help project that I use to generate WebHelp. The HTML files, the .hhc, .hhk, .hhp files have been translated to French (from English). I have changed the language in the project settings to French (France) and I generate the WebHelp output. All appears to process correctly except the TOC does not expand and collapse correctly. Some first level entries expand with one click (as expceted), some entries only expand after other entries have been expanded, and some entries will not expand at all, and once expanded, some entries will not collapse.
I have used the same process to generate other language versions and have not had the same issue. I have been searching the forum to see if similiar issues have been reported but cannot find anthing similar.

I had something a bit similar with RH 7, except it wasn't limited to one language but Firefox browsers. That problem was solved by installing the latest RH patches. You have a later version of RH and the problem is only in French, so the problem is most likely in the French help project.
What I'd do to troubleshoot it: Make spare copies of the help projects, just in case you make it worse and not better.
use a comparison tool like Beyond Compare, to compare the .hhp, .hhc and .js files between the French and English projects: any unexpected differences that are not language related? If there are unexpected differences in tags or other functional items, copy those items from the good project. Rebuild the project by opening the .hhp file.
or
Assuming your projects use the same file names for everything, copy the French .htm, .hhc and .hhk files into a spare copy of the English project. Open the project normally and change the language setting and help title (the .hhp should not have any other translated texts than the help title).
It can happen that a translation agency does something to the translated files, that does not work in your system. It can be very obvious in a side-by-side comparison, in a comparison tool or just Notepad, or it might be a bit more hidden like wrong character encoding.

  • __VA_ARGS__ does not expand correctly when no argument is given

    It seems that there is a bug in expansion of __VA_ARGS__ for variable argument macros.
    test1.c
    #define debug(arg1, ... ) myfunc(arg1, __VA_ARGS__)
    main() {
    int i;
    debug(i)
    debug(i,i);
    preprocessed output
    bash-3.00$ cc -E testvar1.c
    # 1 "testvar1.c"
    # 3
    main() {
    int i;
    "testvar1.c", line 7: warning: argument mismatch
    myfunc ( i , )
    ^^^
    myfunc ( i , i );
    #ident "acomp: Sun C 5.8 Patch 121015-02 2006/03/29"
    Notice the extra comma after the first argument in the first invocation.
    Is this a bug or am I using it wrong?

    Variable-argument macros are not officially part of C++. Sun C++ uses the C99 definition of variable-argument macros, which is likely to be adopted into the next C++ standard.
    The C99 Standard says in the "Constraints" part of section 6.10.3, "there shall be more arguments in the invocation than there are parameters in the macro definition (excluding the ...)."
    You can have a fixed argument in the macro definition
    #define debug(arg1, ...) <something>
    but you must have at least 2 arguments in each invocation.
    if you want to be able to invoke the macro with one argument, the macro definition cannot have any fixed arguments.
    The rule is different than for variable-argument functions. For variable-argument functions to work, the called function must have a first parameter of known type so that it can find the remainder of its arguments. There is no such problem for macros. Macro arguments do not have types, and the macro is completely expanded at compile time.

  • Last TOC book does not expand

    I have a WebHelp project in which the last book in the TOC
    does not expand. The icon switches from closed to open, but the
    contained books and topics do not appear. I see the same behavior
    in IE and Firefox on Windows, and Mozilla on Linux.
    The contents of the TOC up to that point are defined in
    whxdata/whtdata0.xml in the generated output. In that file, the tag
    for the last book (whose title is "Reference") contains a reference
    to the "next" XML:
    <book name="Reference" >
    <chunk name="Reference" ref="whtdata1.xml" />
    </book>
    The file whtdata1.xml exists and contains the data for what
    should be the contents of the "Reference" book.
    Any clues for why the referenced data is not being displayed?

    Janet,
    When I have a problem like this, sometimes I find a very tiny
    error in syntax. So if you haven't already gone back there, I would
    suggest you do so.
    I have this situation:
    Opening in an XML editor such as FAR, in "whtdata0.xml" I see
    this reference:
    - <book name="Database tables">
    <chunk name="Database tables" ref="whtdata1.xml" />
    </book>
    . . . . etc.
    File "whtdata1.xml" starts like this:
    <?xml version='1.0' encoding='windows-1252' ?>
    - <tocdata>
    <item name="Introduction" url="introduction.htm" />
    - <book name="aaaa tables">
    <item name="APP_ROLE" url="aaaa/APP_ROLE.htm" />
    <item name="APP_USER" url="aaaa/APP_USER.htm" />
    <item name="APPLICATION" url="aaaa/APPLICATION" />
    <item name="DOMAIN" url="aaaa/DOMAIN.htm" />
    . . . etc
    The hyphens don't show up in Notepad or TextPad. Is it
    missing in your file?

  • I like Firefox browser when I use my Yahoo mail reverts to "oreiginal/old " version from latest version and this does not bhappen with Exploer or Chrome

    Using Firefox browser I can convert to the newest version of Yahoo mail and for this conversion it works satisfactorily. If I close Yahoo mail , either going to another site or closing the Browser, next time I open Yahoo mail it has reverted to old version (occasionally this does not happen but 80% of time it reverts). This does not happen with Explorer or Chrome. I have ensured updated Firefox. Tried Yahoo Ask for answer but no luck.I like Firefox Browser.

  • The latest version of iTunes does not allow me to open a playlist in a separate window.  I need this feature.  Is there another way?  You used to be able to double click a playlist and have it appear in a new window.

    Others have commented on this too.  It seems to be one of the 'improvements' of the newer version you are supposed to embrace with joy as an exciting new development.  You can send feedback to Apple but realize you may be perceived as standing in the path of  progress.

  • The latest version of Pages does not allow a Pages document to become a 'stationery pad'!  Is there a way to do this this other than through the 'Get Info' window?

    The latest version of Mavericks does not allow a Pages document to become a 'stationery pad'!  Is there a way to do this this other than through the 'Get Info' window?  As Pages templates cannot be ordered in folders, my many templates are effectively unusable now and I need to find another way to order and access them.

    Are you aware of that you can still use Pages 09 on Mavericks? You don't have to go thru the grieves of using the crippled Pages 5. Pages 09 should bi in Applications/iWork 09 folder.

    i get a pop-up window saying the current version of Safari does not support the community toolbar.  How do I get rid of this?

    You need to uninstall the Community / Conduit toolbar add-on.
    Locate the files in bold print and move them to the Trash. The first five are in your root   /Library
    /Library/Application Support/Conduit
    /Library/InputManagers/CTLoader
    /Library/ScriptingAddtions (anything CTLoader realted)
    /Library/Receipts/<Toolbar name>.pkg
    /Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/CT2285220.bundle
    The next one is in your Home folder.
    ~/Library/Application Support/Conduit
    When you're done, try Safari.

    I have an Ada executable that's creating a buffer of data that's being fed to a Labview executable that's displaying the data in a GUI.  We're re-architecting some legacy system hardware and I'm just trying to figure out if this configuration is even possible.
    Thanks

    Hi,

  • New version of itunes does not install

    The new version of Itunes does not install on my computer. I have run all of the service steps from the knowledge base and there has been no change. I am running win 7 64 bit on an alienware m17x. can I get some help? I have my dxdiag if it will help.
    The last version of itunes (what I believe to be the first 64 bit one) , the textures were not always correct but it still functioned. This new one doesn't even install and as a troubleshooting thing I unistalled itunes and quickime as well as clearing the temp files and running the instaler with no 3rd party programs on startup, so now I have no itunes. Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated.

    Hmm, no response, I guess this must be too hard a problem to solve
    Is this because XP is not officially supported any more??
    People who have problems installing on Vista seem to get a response!!
    I think that I will just keep the version of itunes that I currently have installed as, judging by the people on this forum who have problems with the new version, I am probably better off not upgrading anyway.

    While looking to upgrade to a newer MBP, found out latest version of iTunes does not support wired syncing of iCal and contacts. Syncing of these must be done through iCloud. This is a deal breaker for me for several reasons. Are there any workarounds or do I have to go back to a PC with my tail tucked between my legs?

    When you say wired syncing, are you meaning between an iphone and your mac?

  • Latest version of itunes does not support Quicktime can not play movie from library

    Latest version of Itunes does not support Quicktime.  I can not play movies out of my itunes.  Please fix

    I don't usually download video from the iTunes store. I had a couple of long plane rides coming up and thought I might have time to watch the Stanford IOS7 programming class. On the plane I discovered this issue which has gone unaddressed since 2011 and has been worsened in Mavericks. in 2011 the advice was to open iTunes' get info pane and click run in 32 bit. That worked at least for some people. In Mavericks, iTunes will not launch in 32 bit.
    For the files you can locate in the finder ( mine are at
    /Users/raine001/Music/iTunes/iTunes\ Media/iTunes\ U/Developing\ iOS\ 7\ Apps\ for\ iPhone\ and\ iPad/1.\ Class\ Logistics\,\ Overview\ of\ iOS\,\ MVC\,\ Objective-C.mp4
    ) you can click on the file in the finder and it will launch in QuickTime. For some reason on the plane I could see the first lecture in the iTunes view but, although I could see all the other lectures in the finder, I could not see the first one.
    Ah well, maybe some other year I'll think about getting up to speed on ios7. Heck, maybe by then they will design a decent user experience.
