Robohelp randomly inserts spaces in lists
Hi all,
I have the problem that Robohelp randomly inserts non-breaking spaces in some list entries (not all, about 50%), after the bullet and before the first character of the text. I have tried the options such as ignore numbering and mapping to a paragraph style without success. I read through various threads about lists but have not encountered this problem so far. Any ideas? The concerned list entries look fine in Framemaker.
Besides that I noticed that if a table follows a list then Robohelp wraps the table up into the last list item (overlapping, very ugly) and places an additional empty list entry behind the table. Also when importing lists (and even when selecting the Convert-to-HTML option) I see no way to map the list style to a HTML list style in Robohelp, only paragraph styles appear. It seems that for importing from Framemaker the entire list functionality has not been implemented very cleanly..
We did a lot of testing and the problem of random spaces at the begin of list entries always pops up. Can anybody confirm this bug, or does this problem not appear in your projects? We need to narrow the problem down to Robohelp or perhaps some particular setting of our Framemaker styles.

Why does RoboHelp 8.0.2 randomly insert javascript into all WebHelp topics?
RH can randomly insert javascript into your project (can be in the <head> tag or <body> tag in all topics in the project) which evidences itself with red boxes in the editing pane, and duplicate breadcrumb links in the WebHelp output. Even if you clear the Add Breadcrumbs Links checkbox while setting your project's properties, you will still have some breadcrumbs in various topics (RH randomly assigns breadcrumbs to topics with no logic that I can see). After deleting all instances of the red boxes, RH inserted javascript again in the next compile.
When you click the HTML tab you will see something similar to the following (the javascript has been highlighted):
I was able to recover to a previous version (without RH's random destruction) b/c I used SVN, but I now have zero confidence in RH's stability. I definitely did not insert the above javascript into my project. I kept the default setting for the compiled help to go to the subfolder of the help system (i.e., !SSL!, WebHelp). Does anyone know why this happened?I'm not sure if this is the same issue, but it sounds close enough that I'd like to post it here...
Issue
I was either getting topic breadcrumbs in all of my topics (when they shouldn't have been), or getting "double" breadcrumbs (one stacked on top of the other) when I only should have had one breadcrumb. However, I didn't want any!
Background
By the time I had inherited this RH project (WebHelp), it had been worked on by at least three people over five years, using older (pre-9.0) versions of RH. I had just loaded RH ver. 9 when I took it over.
Solution
I noticed that there was a "breadcrumb" placeholder in the master page (xxxxx.htt) of the project. In the Single Source tab, when I right-clicked on WebHelp (Primary Output), and did not check the "Add breadcrumbs links" under the Navigation pane, I only saw one breadcrumb link in my generated output. When I checked the "Add breadcrumbs links", I saw two breadcrumb links in my generated output. When I deleted the "breadcrumb" placeholder in the master page (xxxxx.htt) of the project and did not check the "Add breadcrumbs links" under the Navigation pane in the WebHelp (Primary Output), then I finally saw no breadcrumbs in my generated output. Likewise, when the "Add breadcrumbs links" was checked, one breadcrumb was generated in the topic.
Lessons Learned
I suspect that either an earlier version of RH did not have this "Add breadcrumbs links" under the Navigation pane when you generated output (which mean that an earlier RH author had to use the breadcrumbs via the "placeholder" feature on the master page), or someone just didn't know how to implement the "breadcrumbs" feature correctly. In either case, I'm a little wiser from all of this! -
Inserting ordered/unordered list items breakes the document design
Hi,
I use JEditorPane to edit HTML document. When I insert ordered/unordered list items, it breakes the design of the document. For example, I have next peace of the document:
<center>
This text is centered.
One more line...
</center>
after inserting list item between text lines, document looks like :
<center>
This text is centered.
</center>
<ol>
<li>
</li>
</ol>
<center>
One more line...
</center>
Note, that center tag is closed before list item and opened after it.
Is it possible that inserted list items will save the original design of text around ?
Thanks.
.Vlad.Change the Leading in the Character Pallet to a smaller number, and increase the Space After in the Paragraph Pallet.
The space between lines in the same paragraph is the leading, the space between paragraphs is not leading, and trying to achieve it with the leading field always creates more problems than it solves. -
IOT and lots of random inserts
hi guys,
if we have an IOT and we do a lot of random inserts, does it mean that because the IOT will constantly be rebuilt, we can suffer from bad performance? therefore, is an IOT not advisable when we do a lot of random inserts?
thanks
Edited by: OracleGuy777 on Feb 24, 2009 2:42 AMOguy.,
I am not sure that this is a right thing to say that with the random inserts, Oracle would always rebuild an IOT or we would be required to do a rebuild. I am not sure that I have read the same anywhere. Yes, there are drawbacks related to the IOT with the DMLs happening over them and one of the prominent ones is that the IOTs don't carry a real rowid but a logical rowid. Due to the logical rowid being used, they use a guess mechanism to search for the row when requested. This guess will become invalid if there are many many dmls happening over the IOT thus making the searches more less possible and efficient. So in the context of this arguement , it can be said that the IOTs are not suitable where huge DMLs are happening.
That said, if you can provide the reference to the link where you have read this , it would be easier to comment.

I’m setting up a multiple-choice question, and I want to re-arrange the position of the button sprites representing the correct answer and distractors.
I can randomly select one of the sprites via gDistractorLoc = random(4). The random function fails me after that.
Is there a means of randomly selecting one of the entries from a list, e.g. gDistractorList = [1, 2, 4] or [1, 4]?
I realize that I am perhaps complicating the process, and I'd be grateful for a simpler approach.I don't know if this is simpler or not, but here is a method for grabbing a random item from a list:
gDistractorList = [1, 2, 4]
put gDistractorList.getAt(random(gDistractorList.count)) -
How to insert spaces in elements in message mapping
Hi All,
I have scenario, where in the incoming data is put into a file, but if there is no incoming data for any element it should insert spaces equivalent to the lenght of the field. how can this be done?
XIerXier,
your problem is that the MapWithDefault function will fill only the fields which have no value, for example, if that tag is like <field2/>. When you have <field2></field2>, you have a value, even though this value is an empty string.
To test your scenario properly, change your input xml to:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:MT_Countresult xmlns:ns0="urn:sce.com:xi:FI:TestProjectStructureUpload">
<record>
<field1>a</field1>
<field2/>
<field3>b</field3>
</record>
</ns0:MT_Countresult>
If your requirement is to insert spaces when you have empty string as the input (<field2></field2> case), then you can't use MapWithDefault. In this case, you have to use an if logic: if input = "" (empty string) then output = " " (4 blankspaces), else output = input.
If you don't know how the input will come, best scenario would be to combine the MapWithDefault + If logic, in order to solve both cases (no input or empty string input).

Henrique. -
More than one blank Insert Space? How do you add more?
Hello. I was curious how to add more blank insert spaces. Reason being that I want my Autoload to have 7 per track and that would give me room to throw an insert in the middle of the chain and then add more DSP Effects before or after the first one. Is there a way without making a dummy track for inserts and leaving one in like position 6 in the chain? Thanks guys!
Well, they just adapt. So a dummy will do, just put a gain in there or something.

Hi,
Using SharePoint object model is there is any way to bulk insert items in list fast.
I have 10000 records.
Thanks,
Siva.Hi ,
you can use batch insert method.
ProcessBatchData() method of SPWeb.
here is example for ProcessBatchData():
ProcessBatchData method takes XML format as input and it will directly communicate with SharePoint content database. <m:smallfrac val="off"><m:dispdef><m:lmargin
val="0"><m:rmargin val="0"><m:defjc val="centerGroup"><m:wrapindent val="1440"><m:intlim val="subSup"><m:narylim val="undOvr"></m:narylim></m:intlim></m:wrapindent><m:smallfrac

StringBuilder query = new StringBuilder();
query.Append("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?><Batch>");

Adobe inserts spaces instead of letters during editing
When I try editing a PDF I created in Adobe, it inserts spaces in place of certain letters. Any guidance to overcome this?
Essentially it’s this. I had a misspelled word and needed to replace an uppercase B with an uppercase V. I tried deleting the B first and inserting the V, then tried highlighting the B and overwriting with V, and finally tried inserting the V after the B with the idea of just backspacing over the B afterwards.
Interestingly, the document lets me insert a lowercase v, but not an uppercase V. -
Option disabled Insert in personal list in MM03 search
Hi All,
I am trying to get the option of "Insert in Personal list" while doing material search in MM03 and it is not enabled for me. But the same is enabled for my colleague. We both are using same GUI version 720 and same user settings but still that option does not works for me.
Can you please help with some thoughts?
Regards,
KarunHi,
You may check the below options:
1. Check whether any user specific transaction variant has been created for MM03 in SHD0 transaction. If so, deactivate it and test the scenario again.
2. Insert /nSU53 from the MM03 screen and check whether any authorization is missing.
3. Check whether any development is altering the standard behavior.

Inserting Spaces into code when pressing tab
When I press the tab key, DW inserts a tab character in the
code. I'd like to replace that behavior with it inserting spaces.
DW catches when you don't add a trailing slash on certain HTML tags
in XHTML, so is there a way to hook into that system and have it
catch when you type a tab in?
The code formatting preferences only apply to when DW
auto-inserts tabs, not manually pressing the tab key.Go to Edit>Preferences>Code Format and ensure that the
first setting is as follows:

How can I stop Dreamweaver from inserting spaces after variables?
How can I stop Dreamweaver from inserting spaces after
variables?
Example:
"...write to you@<!--#echo var="uu" --> and ..."
is changed by DreamWeaver to
"...write to you@
<!--#echo var="uu" -->
and...>
When saving or doing other editing, DreamWeaver adds a space
and a line break before and after the variable. The line break
isn't hard and doesn't show, but the spaces added before and after
the variable DO show in browsers. That looks rather stupid and
incompetent, and requires hand editing on the server after
uploading.
Line wrap and code formatting are turned off.
Is manual correction after uploading the only solution to
this problem?
Thanks
DearWebbyDearWebby,
We already discussed this offline, but I want to post the fix
here for
the sake of posterity:
1. Edit > Tag Libraries
2. Open HTML Tags folder
3. Select "directive" folder icon (not really a folder)
4. Change Line breaks: setting to "No line breaks"
5. Click OK

Randy

By using inspector, i found a way to create and insert a scrolldown list (*) in a cell ; however it can only be done one line at a time .what i am looking for is to create a bigger scrolldown list ( from 30 to 100 lines ) and in excel we can do it by copy and paste from an other doc...there must be a way with Numbers !!! any ideas ?
(*)...go to inspector/4th icon to he left/format/local menu/and then input the list one by one...and it creates a scrolldown list where you cursor was located in numbers.
please help....If you need to use this kind of objects, my guess is that it would be better to use an other application like libreOffice.
At an user request, I wrote an AppleScript grabbing the list from a table embedded in the Numbers document.
Here is an enhanced version.
--{code}
--[SCRIPT fake-scrolldown-list]
Enregistrer le script en tant que Script : fake-scrolldown-list.scpt
déplacer le fichier ainsi créé dans le dossier
<VolumeDeDémarrage>:Utilisateurs:<votreCompte>:Bibliothèque:Scripts:Applications :Numbers:
Il vous faudra peut-être créer le dossier Numbers et peut-être même le dossier Applications.
Sélectionner une cellule dans une table d'un document Numbers.
Aller au menu Scripts , choisir Numbers puis choisir “fake-scrolldown-list”
Le script extrait la liste d'articles de la table « la_liste » de la feuille contenant la table ci-dessus.
Il demande de choisir un article puis dépose celui-ci dans la cellule sélectionnée.
ATTENTION : À la demande d'un utilisateur, Le script utilise un nom de table localisé.
Je n'aime pas cela parce que de ce fait, lorsque le script est utilisé sur un système Français,
il requiert une table nommée "la_liste" mais lorsqu'il est utilisé sur un système Anglais il requiert la table "the_list".
--=====
L’aide du Finder explique:
L’Utilitaire AppleScript permet d’activer le Menu des scripts :
Ouvrez l’Utilitaire AppleScript situé dans le dossier Applications/AppleScript.
Cochez la case “Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre de menus”.
Sous 10.6.x,
aller dans le panneau “Général” du dialogue Préférences de l’Éditeur Applescript
puis cocher la case “Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre des menus”.
--=====
Save the script as a Script: fake-scrolldown-list.scpt
Move the newly created file into the folder:
<startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Numbers:
Maybe you would have to create the folder Numbers and even the folder Applications by yourself.
Select a cell in a table of a Numbers document.
Go to the Scripts Menu, choose Numbers, then choose “fake-scrolldown-list”
The script extract the list of allowed items from the table “the_list” which must sit in the same sheet that the table embedding the selected cell.
It urge to choose an item then insert it in the selected cell.
CAUTION : I use different names for the required table according to the language in use on user request.
I dislike this feature because a document built by a French user sent to an English one will fail.
On the French system the script ask for the table "la_liste" but it ask for the table "the_list" on an English system.
--=====
The Finder’s Help explains:
To make the Script menu appear:
Open the AppleScript utility located in Applications/AppleScript.
Select the “Show Script Menu in menu bar” checkbox.
Under 10.6.x,
go to the General panel of AppleScript Editor’s Preferences dialog box
and check the “Show Script menu in menu bar” option.

How can I insert space between a bullet character and text?
I imported my FrameMaker file and template into RoboHelp 7.
After the conversion to RoboHelp, the bullet characters are too
close to the paragraph text that follows. I was able to change the
span's spacing in the Font dialog box's Spacing tab to expand the
space. How can I apply this to all bullets in the topic?I am so dense... I re-read this thread.
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=65&catid=680&threadid =1348980&enterthread=y
AJ Owens suggested that we remove "Pre" from the User Defined
HTML Tag field box in the Style Settings dialog box. When I
initially accessed this box, I experimented with checking and
unchecking the Convert Autonumber to HTML list box, but it never
occurred to me to clear the User Defined HTML Tag field of "Pre".
Now that I have cleared it, I am able to make changes in the Style
Sheet Editor. (I can expand spacing so that I now see more space
between the bulleted and numbered characters and the text that
follows.) -
In insert: Space after period and before carriage return is being ignored
I am using Oracle 11.2.0.2.
let say I create table temp(a varchar2(20);
insert into temp values ('value.
valuue2');
I have put space after 'value. ' but it is being ignore when I run it from linux host in sqlplus.
The space seems to be preserved when I insert it from TOAD/Windows xp.
Any idea what might be causing it.hI,
I have the same result in SQLPLUS.
I would not rely on code with strings spread over multiple lines you should use the below code to add newlines:
insert into temp values ('Yes.Space. ' || chr(10) || 'x');This makes it very clear there is and a space and a newline.
This is much easier to maintain as well.
