Large spaces in robohelp output

Hi
I've created a Framemaker doc using the DITA Open Toolkit and linked it to Robohelp to produce Webhelp. I use Adobe Tech Comms Suite v2 by the way.
When publishing in Robohelp though the spacing between words is really wide, about double or triple the norm. I've looked at the paragragh designer in Frame and cant see anything obviously wrong and the stylesheets in Robohelp arent showing anything odd either. Anyone got any ideas where I should be looking?
Help apprecicated - I've been looking into this on and off for a couple of weeks now.
Nick

I had this as well; I changed the word spacing in the CSS to 0 em for all
styles; for some reason RH added spacing.

Batch Script using System Varriable for Hostname and FQDN results in large space between

I have a batch script running on Windows 7 that I've created to help a physical computer, connect to his virtual cousin. Problem is when I try to make
it use the FQDN (required by the View Client) it puts a large space between the hostname and the domain.
Result
ECHO Connecting View Client to PREFIX-SERIAL .domain.comOR"C:\Program Files\VmWare\View.exe" -Args -serverURL PREFIX-SERIAL .domain.com
Our computers are named a combination of a prefix and the serial number. Our virtual computer names are the same, but with a different prefix. So my attempt was to make a connection
script, using the computer serial number. My Process:
Setting %serial% variable.
for /F "skip=1 tokens=*" %%b in ('wmic bios get serialnumber') do if not defined serial set serial=%%b
Set %hostname% variable.
set hostname=PREFIX-%serial%
Installation command line
"C:\Program Files\VmWare\View.exe" -Args -serverURL %hostname%.domain.com
That results in the output at the beginning of my post.
I've also tried
%hostname%.%userdomain%.com
PREFIX-%serial%.%userdomain%.com
PREFIX-%serial%.domain.com
SET FQDN=.domain.com
PREFIX-%serial%%FQDN%
%hostname%%FQDN%
I also tried carets and quotes on set commands without any improvement.
I'm sure I'm missing something simple here. Any advise?
There's no place like 127.0.0.1

Will something like this get you what you are looking for?
(gwmi win32_bios).SerialNumber+(gwmi WIN32_ComputerSystem).Domain
Or
$hostname=(gwmi win32_bios).SerialNumber+"."+(gwmi WIN32_ComputerSystem).Domain
Sorry just realized your looking to do this in a Batch file...so maybe something like this
@echo off
for /F "skip=1 delims=" %%j in ('powershell "[System.Net.Dns]::GetHostByName((hostname)).HostName"') do (
set Host=%%j
goto :DONE
:DONE
echo %HOST%

Extra white spaces in JSP output

Hi,
          My JSPs contain a large use of JSTL and other custom Tags.
          The problem is that the output contains too many new lines and spaces.
          I found out that APACHE Tomcat has a servlet parameter (trimSpaces=true) that solved this problem.
          Does Weblogic (9.1) have something similar ?
          Does JSPC / APPC have a special options that can solve this ?
          please advise,
          Avivi.

Before diving into this, one thing I would ask you: Why does it matter if there are extra spaces? Did you determine that your primary users are using a slow connection? Before trying to optimize this, make sure that you really have a problem to solve. You might try saving off the currently generated HTML into a test page, and compare it to a similar one with all ignorable spaces removed. If you see no difference in performance, then don't bother doing this.
          Nevertheless, one strategy for reducing empty space in JSP output is to put the ends of the JSP directives and actions on the next line, with no newlines after them.
          For instance, a pair of lines like this:
          <%@page import="foo.bar" %>
          <%@page import="bar.foo" %>
          Would be instead:
          <%@page import="foo.bar"
          %><%@page import="bar.foo"
          %>

How to remove the extra space in the output pdf file?

Hi All
In our RTF layout template we have both static content and dynamic content.
In RTF template we have used many if-else,choose,For each loops.
On the account of that,In the output pdf file, we are getting lot of empty space in the place of that coding(if-else,choose,For each loops).
Is there anyway to reduce the space in the output pdf file?
Please suggest some ideas.
Thanks in Advance.

White space is NOT your friend!
Make sure you don't have any unwanted whitespace between commands and especially tagged on the end of lines. Chain your commands together with no whitespace and let them wrap, do not enter carriage returns.
Cheers,
Dave

In BC, how can I remove the large space above the product images?

Hi, I'm having a problem with the product pages in Business Catalyst. There is a large space that appears between the breadcrumb trail and the first row of product images (small product page) and between the breadcrumb trail and the information on the large product page.
I have run through the stylesheets (base.css, layout.css, and ModuleStyleSheets.css) and changed numbers for anything that looked like it might control that space. I adjusted the css in my files too. Absolutely nothing made any difference.
And even worse, a scroll bar apears on the right side of the div. The div is set to auto height and grows to accept anything put in it. If I remove all the images, the scroll bar goes away, but if I only remove the breadcrumb, the scroll bar stays. Because of this, I suspect there is a margin setting on the div that holds the images that is forcing the page length beyond what the div sees. But can I find it? No.
I find nothing in the Overall Layout Shop Module Template:
<blockquote style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 20px; border: none; padding: 0px;">
<div class="shop-main clear">
<div class="body clear"><span style="font-size: 14px; font-family: verdana;"><strong>You are viewing the</strong></span> {tag_cataloguebreadcrumbs}</div>
</div>
</blockquote>
<div class="shop-main clear">
<div class="header clear">
</div>
<div class="body clear">{tag_cataloguelist,3,,,,true} {tag_productlist,3}<br />
<div class="footer clear">{tag_previouspage,<img alt="" src="/CatalystImages/module_previous.png" />} {tag_nextpage,<img alt="" src="/CatalystImages/module_next.png" />}</div>
</div>
</div>
(I could find no class for shop-main in any stylesheet. Changing any header class had no effect.)
Nothing on the page template would account for this:
<div id="right">
        <div id="store-banner-rings"><img src="../jpegs/store-background-rings.png" width="730" height="55" alt="<empty>" /></div>
        
        <div id="store-background">
        {tag_pagecontent}
        </div>
</div>
The page template with no page content looks like this:
No big space! No scrollbar.
It's that product table, gotta be. Can anyone tell me which css style to change to get rid of the large top margin and that hideous scroll bar? Or should I write a new one? To which section do I apply it?
I appreciate any help and thank you very much for your time in advance.
Sincerely, Ahurani

Just Johnny,
Thank you so much for answering. This big space is the last problem and I can't seem to find the code to fix it.
The link is for whimsicalley02.businesscatalyst.com.
Right now, the Harry Potter store is the best one to view. I haven't hooked up the others.
If you can find the problem, I'd be very happy. I have commented a lot of the ModuleStyle css because I kept reinserting changes to the same code and that's how I stopped myself. I've taken out some of the comments, but the code is still festooned with them.
Thank you for your help,
Ahurani

Thanks, Nilesh.
Sorry for the delayed response. I have modified the ITAB with that logic and I see the indentation now (in Debug Mode of T_PLAN).
However, when I display the ALV output though, it disappears.
I am using the following method.

      plan_container type ref to cl_gui_custom_container,
      plan_grid      type ref to cl_gui_alv_grid,

      plan_layout    type lvc_s_layo.
if plan_container is initial.
    perform plan_fieldcat_init using plan_fieldcat[].
    create object plan_container
      exporting
        container_name = plan_control.
    create object plan_grid
      exporting
        i_parent = plan_container.
    plan_layout-cwidth_opt = 'X'.
    plan_layout-zebra       = 'X'.
    call method plan_grid->set_table_for_first_display
      exporting
        is_layout                     = plan_layout
      changing
        it_outtab                     = T_PLAN[]
        it_fieldcatalog               = plan_fieldcat
      exceptions
        invalid_parameter_combination = 1
        program_error                 = 2
        too_many_lines                = 3
        others                        = 4.
endif.
Can anybody please let me know if I am missing anything?
Thanks again.

Resume large space beginning on second page

I used the Modern Pages Template to format a Resume and it has a graphic and a large space before beginning the text. That part is fine. Now, for some reason, I have large space appearing on subsequent pages (at the top of the page), under the header, which I can't seem to get rid of. Basically, I'd like the text on subequent pages to begin near the top. Any help would be much appreciated.

In the View menu choose Show layout. Now you'll see text layer area and header and footer areas.
In the same menu choose Show ruler.
Look at the image. The arrow is pointing to the withfour small dot. Click on them and drag (in your doc ). Drag upwards and the white area will get smaller.

Securing RoboHelp output files

We have a client that is interested in making their RoboHelp
output files available via their web site. However, they want to
secure the files so that only their customers can gain access. We
are their web site developers.
We reviewed the .Net API, however that is for integrating
context sensitive help, which is not what we are trying to do.
Do you have any clients that are doing this and if so what is
the recommended method?
Please advise.

Unfortunatly, it's not that easy. Since the files are raw
HTML, they don't go through the same processing as the standard
.net pages and thus buy pass any application security that is built
into .NET applications. If the RoboHelp files could be exported to
.NET pages (such as .aspx) the problem would be solved and we could
secure the pages without a problem, but it is my understanding that
isn't an option.
We could make the files only accessible via FTP that requires
a username/password, but that isn't what our client wants. They
want them to be able to use the help files online.
Any other thoughts?

Ilustrations being modified in FrameMaker to Robohelp output

Hello all,
I noticed a problem in the FrameMaker to Robohelp conversion output. I am using TCS, Framemaker project linked to Robohelp. Outputs are EPUB and Webhelp. My issue exists in both EPUB and Webhelp output.
Some of my source images are in EPS and in AI format, as these formats print nicely in PDF. Some of the illustrations include dashed lines. When I convert the projects, in the Robohelp output, the dashed lines are replaced by solid lines. I contacted support and their response is: Ai, SVG and EPS file format is not supported with Robohelp
This puts a damper on the concept of "single-sourcing" since I'm finding I have to make more and more manual tweaks to my source...
Has anyone run into this? Did you find a solution? I'm not an expert in Illustrations, so kind of stuck here.
I can convert these images to JPG or PNG, but such text based images don't look good in PDF in these formats. (the text is not sharp)
Any ideas? Since I own TCS 4, would I be able to contact support for AI and ask them to help me with finding appropriate AI conversion settings so that my JPG and PNG images (converted from AI and AI EPS) look good in print?
Thanks.

Couple of things – in the Conversion Settings screen are you having RH use Distiller to process the images? If you aren’t try that & see what the result is like. If you are, turn it off & see what happens. Your other alternative is to generate PDFs of the images and include them by reference in the FM source (conditionalized of course so that they only end up in your RH output) & conditionalize your original images for PDF output only.

Questions on SPACE on the output list...

Hi,
A report program...
If i defined a data like this:
DATA: Helloworld(26) TYPE c.
Helloworld = space.
Then when i output this variable, i will get this field filled with space for 26 characters length??? Or just a space in 1 characters length???
What else if i want to output this variable filled with space of 26 characters length...what statements could achieve this??
Thanks.

Hi,
SPACE mean only one space
check this code :
DATA : Helloworld(26).
Helloworld = space.
concatenate 'test' 'test' into helloworld separated by space.
write : helloworld.

Missing a single space in html output

Hello to all,
take a look at the following code copied from a View
<% DATA: eins TYPE STRING VALUE 'ClassEins',
zwei TYPE STRING VALUE 'ClassZwei'. %>
<span id="Test1" class="<%=eins%> ClassZwei">test it</span>
<span id="Test2" class="ClassEins <%=zwei%>">test it</span>
it works fine if compression is set to NONE, but if compression is set to 1 (remove spaces) or 2 (remove spaces, CR, LF) the html output looks like this:
<span id="Test1" class="ClassEinsClassZwei">test it</span>
<span id="Test2" class="ClassEins ClassZwei">test it</span>
Where is the single space? Whats wrong? Why is the first space removed, but the second isnt?

Thilo,
At this stage we are not planning a kernel patch, unless your business case is really pressing. (In which case update OSS message so that rethink why nein is the right answer.) We have actually spend a number of hours to find where this is stripped (by accident), and see that the price to fix this, is very high for us. The truth is that this is a minor problem that only happens when you active the additional compression, where our first suggestion would be to just skip the compression for this page. (All of this been said, we will keep it on the toDo list, and see if can get the resources at same stage to dive into kernel development again.)
(Just for interest, not even myself could remember where some of this code is executed. Your problem provided a nice trip down memory lane!)
As for the back tics, they are string literals, and are space sensitive in ABAP. An example:
CONCATENATE 'a ' 'b ' 'c ' INTO s. --> s = "abc".
CONCATENATE `a ` `b ` `c ` INTO s. --> s = "a b c ".
The nice thing about this is that it is now possible to write in ABAP strings that contain <b>both</b> HTML and JavaScript all in one:
s = `<body onload="myFunc('JSparm');">`.
We use " and ' for the HTML and JavaScript, and the ` to build the ABAP string. Makes the Java colleagues just jealous of our writing style:)

How to remove spaces in the output of an PL/SQL report

Hi,
The requirement is to develop a SQL report.
The sample code is like this
Select 'Order Number Header Id' from dual; ( This is the heading in the output of the report.)
Select order_number , header_id from oe_order_headers_all;
The output is displaying as follows
=======================
'Order Number Header Id'
1234 101
2222 102
3333 103
=======================
Now I am opening the report in excel, and there is a space appearing after the headings.
So, how can I remove the additional blank line between the headings and the data.
Thanks in advance

What is the proper way to create a new line space int the output?

I want to create a space in between each input so the output would look something like this,
Name of item 1: lollipops
Quantity of item 1: 10
Price of item 1: .50
Name of item 2: diet soda
Quantity of item 2: 3
Price of item 2: 1.25
Instead of this:
Name of item 1: lollipops
Quantity of item 1: 10
Price of item 1: .50
Name of item 2: diet soda
Quantity of item 2: 3
Price of item 2: 1.25
Here is my code:
for (i = 1; i < 4; i++)
               System.out.print( "Name of item " + i + ":");
               name = keyboard.nextLine();
               System.out.print( "Quantity of item " + i + ":");
               quantity = keyboard.nextDouble();
               keyboard.nextLine();
               System.out.print( "price for item " + i + ":");
               price = keyboard.nextDouble();
               keyboard.nextLine();
          }I know i can use the an empty output statement but is there something that will make my code neater?

Just use an empty println.
It's a pretty common idiom and no messier than printing a newline.

MS SharePoint 2010 Designer Workflow Email - Enhanced Rich Text Field look-up values on HTML email have large spaces

MS InfoPath 2010 form with RTF (Rich Text Fields)

https://www.nothingbutsharepoint.com/sites/eusp/pages/creating-html-emails-with-spd-workflows.aspx
Hi all of the above work, our question is how to control the RTF (Rich Text Field) look up values to the InfoPath 2010 form in the HTML email?
How to FORMAT the RTF look up value? in the HTML email
EXAMPLE
we have a InfoPath 2010 form published in the SharePoint 2010 custom list library there are 5 RTF fields (Notes1, Notes2, Notes3, Notes4, Notes5) there are other plain text fields, date fields, and other field types in the form
We use a HTML table to make the email look like the InfoPath form, so when the users fill out the form and they get the email notification everything looks the same.
Our problem is the EXTRA LINE SPACE in the RTF look up values
We want to remove any leading spaces, and line spaces between HTML table cells
Our Workflow has the HTML in a Workflow variable, as you know it does not support remote CSS it has to be in-line style for any formatting we want all cells to have
valign="top" the email should align at the top of the cell, all field types do except the RTF look up values they make the email look bad and they contain a lot of white space.
Please test this in your enviroment
<table>
<tr><td>Title:</td><td>[%Current Item:Title%]</td><td>[%Current Item:Notes1%]</td></tr>
<tr><td>Created by:</td><td>[%Current Item:CreatedBy%]</td><td>[%Current Item:Notes2%]</td></tr>
<tr><td>Date Created:</td><td>[%Current Item:Created%]</td><td>[%Current Item:Notes3%]</td></tr>

Hi IssackB,
perhaps you may try this article:

there are some notes that perhaps you may check:
Use the same font for all the controls to ensure consistent spacing between rows.
Choose Size from the Format menu, and then choose To Fit from the menu that appears. This adjusts the size of each control, depending on the font set for the data that appears
in the control.
NOTE: The Print Preview and Output To commands use different algorithms for calculating text width; therefore, the text may occupy more or less
space in the RTF file.
Reduce the amount of blank space above and below the report controls. Any vertical
space between the controls is converted to whole lines
in the RTF file. For example, a
space of .02 inches can increase to .1667 inches in the
RTF file.
Make sure controls on the same output row are not too close to each other or overlapping. This can cause the Output To command to omit the controls or to align the columns incorrectly
in the RTF file.
Use the Align command from the Format menu to ensure that a row of controls is aligned properly on the report. If a row of controls is not aligned properly, the Output To command may place the controls
in different rows, causing extra blank
spacein the RTF file.
and please have a check there are updates for exchange 2013 and will be available with the upcoming release of CU4 for Exchange 2013, that stated the format rtf was saved instead HTML. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2862739/en-us
