Robohelp Special characters

Hello,
We were using Robo Help 2.0 version and I have recently Migrated the help pages to Robo Help 8.0 version.
We are able to see the help pages from our application but for few pages we are not seeing any data, it is showing error message (http status 404 error).
I investigated the issue and find out we are using the "&" in the HTML page name for displaying the help pages. Since "&" is a special character that is the reason it is not showing the data in the RoboHelp.
I renamed the page and removed the "&" from the name of the HTML page and also modified the Map Id and published the project but I am still not able to fix the issue.
We are passing the ctxid=hlp_Recovery_Referral_Investigation. Could you please help me what are the other things we need to do after making the changes in the html file name?
Kindly help me to fix this issue.
Thanks
Mahesh Prajapati

Sorry to give such a short answer but I think it is the right one.

  • RH7: Corrupted Special Characters in TOC, Glossary, Favorites, etc.

    When I generate a .chm from a Japanese, Polish, Russian or
    Chinese RoboHelp 7 HTML Help, the special characters are corrupted
    on the .chm file’s Contents, Search, Favorites, and Glossary
    tabs as well in the HTML Help window's title bar.
    For instance the Russian topic title
    “Использование
    приложения”
    is shown approximately as
    “Éñïîëücîâàíèå
    ïdéëîæåíèèÿ”
    on the TOC tab, making it useless for navigation purposes.
    The fonts were initially also corrupted on the TOC inside the
    RH7 project itself until I added charset=UTF-8 info in the
    head/meta of the hhc files. However, there's still no joy when I
    generate HTML Help output.
    I found a reference to someone with a similar problem with a
    RH7 Web help project where the solution was to add UTF-8 BOM to the
    very beginning of the files. Have tried adding UTF-8 BOM to the hhc
    or xpj files, using both Notepad and Dreamweaver, but with no
    result. Someone also recommended the installation of the required
    language packs – I tried, but again without improvement.
    Have you experienced something similar and found a solution,
    please share your knowledge with me.

    I'm no expert in this area but I am beginning to acquire some
    knowledge of the problems in this area.
    First question is, I believe, are you using a unicode font?
    It might be worth trying something such as Arial Unicode.
    I believe the BOM stuff is relevant only to webhelp.
    If changing the font does not work. Please contact me direct
    via my website.

  • Is it possible to search for strings containing spaces and special characters?

    In our RoboHelp project, there are figures with text labels such as Figure 1, Figure 3-2, etc.
    When I search for "Figure 3" I get all pages containing "Figure" and "3", even if I surround it in quotes.  Similarly, searching for "3-2" treats the '-' character as a space and searches for all pages containing '3' or '2'.
    Is there a way to search for strings containing spaces and special characters?

    In that case I think the answer is no if you are using the standard search engine. However I believe that Zoom Search does allow this type of searching. Check out this link for further information.

  • RH10 WebHelp includes special characters in 508 compliant search

    I am converting a RoboHelp 5 WebHelp project to RoboHelp 10 WebHelp and the project uses 508 compliant output.  When I click on the search tab I see special characters like $, %, !, #, etc. showing up as search words.  I have tried adding the characters to the Stop Words list and generating the output again but the special characters still show up.  Is there a way to suppress these characters from showing up in search?  The characters do not show up in the RoboHelp 5 508 output.  I am using IE8.

    Hi there
    Section 508 deals with accessibility. This means screen readers for blind or visually impaired individuals. They mouse over areas and the screen reader reads back to them what the mouse is hovering. So instead of a field where you type, they navigate search in a different manner. By clicking links that eventually lead to the term.
    Cheers... Rick

  • XML Publisher report not printing excel output due to special characters

    Hello,
    I am trying to create a xml publisher report which should display the output in excel. But the program completes with a warning status and the output is displayed as XML instead of excel, with some errors "An invalid character was found in text content. Error processing resource " and i think these errors are due to the special characters(eg: city/province - A Coruña, Cáceres). If i give rownum < 10 in my query, where there are no such characters it works fine and i am getting an excel output.
    Tried changing the XML encoding and it doesn't help (both mentioned below)
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    Do anyone have a solution for this

  • Special characters into datagrid through the use of buttons

    Hi!
    I have a datagrid for word input, I'm trying to create a "special characters" panel, kind of like google's new "virtual keyboard" thing on google.com, so that the user can enter data into the datagrid cells using characters that aren't on their keyboards.
    I manage to do this just fine, using the solution below. I know this is probably not the best/most effective way to do this, so any suggestions for making the code better will be appreciated. I only started using Flex a month ago.
    grid.addEventListener(DataGridEvent.ITEM_EDIT_BEGIN, selectColumn)
    function selectColumn(event:DataGridEvent):void
    var selectedColumn:DataGridColumn = grid.columns[event.columnIndex];
    selCol = selectedColumn.dataField;
    //The function for adding a special character to the selected datagrid column by clicking a button:
    //(inputWordArray is the dataprovider for the grid called "grid" )
    protected function clickSomeButton(event:MouseEvent):void
    var colIndex:int = new int;
    if (selCol == "from"){
    inputWordArray[grid.selectedIndex].from = inputWordArray[grid.selectedIndex].from + "æ";
    colIndex = 0;
    else if (selCol == "to"){
    colIndex = 1;
    inputWordArray[grid.selectedIndex].to = inputWordArray[grid.selectedIndex].to + "æ";
    inputWordArray.refresh();
    grid.dispatchEvent(new DataGridEvent(DataGridEvent.ITEM_EDIT_BEGINNING, false, false, colIndex, null, grid.selectedIndex));
    The problem is that this only adds a letter at the end of the selected item's value, not at a specific position within the word specified by the position of the cursor. This is what I need to achieve. I have no idea even what to search for, if anyone could please give me a hint that'd be great.

    You will probably need to capture the editor's selectionBeginIndex and
    selectionEndIndex

  • FindNode returning Null And XML Not Accepting Special Characters

    First of all you have to supply a value you want to search for and this has to be the complete path to the value. You're saying you already tried that, but can you paste the code which you used for that? I don't see the path mentioned in the code you posted.
    *FindNode*
    Syntax
    FindNode(Path)
    Description
    Use the FindNode method to return a reference to an XmlNode.
    The path is specified as the list of tag names, to the node that you want to find, each separated by a slash (/).
    Parameters
    Path
    Specify the tag names up to and including the name of the node that you want returned, starting with a slash and each separated by a slash (/). This is known as the XPath query language.>
    Another option would be this snippet of code:
    &InfoCFDiArray = GetElementsByTagName("ns4:InfoCFDi");
    &InfoCFDiNode = &InfoCFDiArray [1];
    &attValue = &InfoCFDiNode.GetAttributeValue("noCertificadoSAT")
    Warning(&attValue);
    It creates an array of XML Nodes which match the name "ns4:InfoCFDi". Since there's only one in the XML it's safe to assume it will be the one and only node in the array. I've assigned that node to the variable &InfoCFDiNode and use that to retrieve the attribute "noCertificadoSAT" value. The warning message should display the value supplied there.
    Concering the special characters; you will have to change the encoding of the XML. Peoplecode sets this to UTF-8 by default, but doesn't include this in the header. There's a little hack for that somewhere on the web, I'll see if I can find it.

    GeorgeHa! The codes you specified rendered in the HTML, but showed properly when I listed your original posting above. I didn't understand what you meant initially because the 5-character string represenation got rendered as the quote that you said you weren't able to get - a display problem.
    You're getting prompted for the substituon variable because of the ampersand; you appear to be doing this in SQL*PLUS. The first thing I would try is to SET DEFINE OFF when using the ampersands to see if that works. If That doesn't work check the docs to delmit the ampersand (I think its a backslash before it but can't remember offhand). Another, harder option might be to use the TRANSLATE function replacing the literal character instead of using REPLACE (though replacing a quote will be a little tricky). If you're on 10g also consider using the advanced quoting
    Good luck!

    Hi Experts,
    Can we display special characters in ALV reports? Special characters such as tick mark.(Like in character map(Font Bookshelf  Symbol 7) of windows ).
    I tried with icons in ALV report, I was able to display tick icon in the ALV report, but when we export the report in to a excel, the icons comes in as Hexadecimal code.
    Can any we display special characters like tick in ALV report or display the icons in excel aswell?

  • Time-dependent Vendor Master & Handling Special Characters

    Hi,
    I need to extract time-dependent Vendor Master.
    1. The data source for <b>0VENDOR</b> does not have fields to hold the valid date range.
    2. Does the Master data in R/3 for Vendors will hold the valid date range?
    3. The text for <b>0VENDOR</b> provides time-dependent, but how to map the <b>valid from</b> and <b>valid to</b> fields?
    Handling Special Characters:
    We are trying to extract data from Legacy system via DB Connect. The item text field consists of special characters. Of course in BW customization we can specify all the special characters to consider. But the special character we observed is 'square' symbol i.e. 'new line character' in Oracle. We are updating this to an ODS object. When looked at error log, observed that green light for the number of records transferred and updated, but finally when it load into ODS object and activates popping up the error message saying 'could not recognize special character'.
    Please help me getting the 2 issues resolved.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Reading special characters from a flat file and inserting into DB

    I'm reading data with special characters like . etc from a flat file , assigning the data to variable in my anonymous block and inserting into my DB. But the show up as inverted ? s. Any clues about how to do this?
    If i try to do the insert directly it works. It seems like the error occurs when reading this data into a variable
    thanks for the help

    lalit, this is probably an character set problem, the default on Database creation tends to be 7bit Ascii which does not support special characters, it's been a while since I set up a db in this way, but you need to change settings in oracle.ini. The db will need to be restarted for this. Also, to check current settings try:
    select * from NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS
    You want an 8bit, unicode or multibyte character set. Sorry I cannot remember moer off the top of my head, try searching on NLS or character set
