Which RH8 file holds conditional build tag defintions?

Mine got lost and I have to find it in a backup.

The tags are in rhbuildtag.apj.
I think the build expressions (e.g. "Not Print and Not Exclude") might be in the .ssl files. Although the .pss file might also have something to do with it?

  • Conditional Build Tags for Text Blocks Applied to Entire File

    RoboHelp 8.0.0.203.  This post also deals with conditional build tags, but in this case the conditional build tags have been associated with sections of text and text blocks within a topic.  The design was implemented originally in RH7 and the project has since been updated with RH8.
    For example, you could have three blocks:  Purpose, Procedure, Tips, and a Notes block.  They are disabled by applying blocks Tag A, Tag B, Tag C, and Tag D respectively.  If Tag A is applied to the Purpose, it is cross-hatched in the design window and does not appear upon generation.
    The problem is that tags that are seemingly unrelated to blocks, such as Tag C and Tag D, are spontaneously applied to those blocks -- by the software.  In fact, they would be spontaneously applied to all of the blocks and text in a some of the files (for no apparent reason), cross-hatching every element and every block of text in the file.  When we unapply the tag and store the file, when we re-open the file, the tag is mysteriously re-applied to all the blocks -- again by the software.
    Has anyone seen this type of problem in RH8?
    Below is further detail about the problem
    An example of how tags shold be applied involves a block involving three banners
    <div class="banner">
         <?rh-udv_start name="Banner A" ?>BANNER A NAME<?rh-udv_end ?>
         <?rh-udv_start name="Banner B" ?>BANNER A NAME<?rh-udv_end ?>
         <?rh-udv_start name="Banner C" ?>BANNER A NAME<?rh-udv_end ?>
    </div>
    Under normal conditions, an associated tag would be applied to "unselect" two classifications, thus selecting the third by default.  This is done by highlighting the associated banner, right-clicking and selected the "UnselectedBanner" tag,  Below, banner C is selected by unselecting Banners A and B.  T
    <div class="banner">
         <?rh-cbt_start condition="UnselectedBanner"?>
         <?rh-udv_start name="Banner A" ?>BANNER A NAME<?rh-udv_end ?><?rh-cbt_end ?>
         <?rh-cbt_start condition="UnselectedBanner"?>
         <?rh-udv_start name="Banner B" ?>BANNER A NAME<?rh-cbt_end ?><?rh-udv_end ?>
         <?rh-udv_start name="Banner C" ?>BANNER A NAME<?rh-udv_end ?>
    </div>
    The <?rh-cbt_start condition="UnselectedBanner"?>  indicates that the section is de-selected.
    Note, that the "<?rh-cbt_end ?><?rh-udv_end ?>" are in opposite order in the example (but that's how it appears in the file).
    In the cases where this problme occurs, we the html riddled with "Tag D" and "Tag C" condition tags for all the elements.
    <?rh-cbt_start condition="Tag C, Tag D"?><div .......     </div><?rh-cbt_end ?>
    I cannot attach any files because these files are on a classified system.
    Thank you much.

    Hi Tammy
    It will also be helpful if everyone that encounters the issue reports as a bug. It's like a voting system. The more reports of bugs that are seen, the more weight is given to the priority. This directly translates to the fix being posted sooner rather than later.
    So even though the bug has been "reported", you and others should take a moment and report as well!
    Cheers... Rick

  • Can I use conditional build tags in CSS files?

    I am using RoboHelp X5.0.2 and building CHM files.
    I use conditional build tags to output different Help files
    for the different products we have that all have similarities.
    In the past I have setup the CSS file to show headers, links
    etc in the color scheme we use to keep the look and feel of our
    branding. One of the new products uses a different branding color
    scheme.
    I was wondering if there is a way I can use conditional build
    tags in the CSS file so that when I build one type of help it uses
    header in one color and when I build another help it uses a
    different header color. Does anyone know how to do this? If it is
    not possible in my current version, is it possible in the latest
    version of Robohelp?

    [WORKAROUND ALERT IN X502]
    For .chm output, you could:
    1. In the Topics pane, select all the topics (click on one
    topic and press Ctrl+A).
    2. Right click in the highlighted area and select Properties.
    3. In the Appearance tab, select the different style sheet.
    4. Click Save.
    5. Generate the .chm file.
    6. (optional) Repeat steps 1-4 to revert to previous style
    sheet setting.
    Good luck,

  • Conditional Build Tags and Baggage Files

    Good afternoon
    I have a project where I need to produce two outputs - one
    for the internet and one for our intranet. I have applied
    conditional build tags to the topics that I don't want displayed on
    the internet however, the topics with baggage files attached still
    show up - I can't figure out how to apply a cbt to these files. Can
    someone help me please?
    Thanks

    HI Leapy.
    OK I think I have got to the reason why your CBTs are being
    included. If you have them at the topic level, they are exlcuded.
    If you have them at the topic contents level they are included. Do
    a right click on the CBT in the project tab and select the
    "Properties" popup menu item. You will probably find that the tags
    show up at content level. If you change these to be at topic level
    you should be OK.
    BTW if you are using merged webhelp there is a known problem
    with links failing. Peter Grainge has covered this, and the
    workaround, very well at his site. Click

  • Conditional build tags disappeared

    Hi All,
    For info, we are using Tech Comms Suite 3.5 with RoboHelp 9.
    We have an interesting problem in that some of our conditional build tags have somehow gone missing! We are unable to select them to apply to content/topics for selection, however where the tags have been applied the tooltip showing the condition is displayed when you hover the cursor over the 'conditioned' content. When we look at the tags applied in the topic properties dialog box, the tag does not appear.
    I'm hoping that someone might have experienced this and can point us in the right direction please? Does anyone know which RoboHelp file holds all the conditional build tag information? Does anyone know an ideal solution that does not entail us creating replacement tags then reapplying them to the relevant information?
    Thanks all for your help.
    Lillibet

    From my recent experiments with modifying .apj files and what not behind the back of RH9 I can say that this also happened to me, especially in situations where I deleted the .cdb and the .xpj file to start over from opening the .hhp file. Anyway, you might look into the file rhbuildtag.apj and examine whether your build tags are in there.
    If not, just create them either in an editor if you know the syntax
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <rhpml majorversion="4" minorversion="0">
        <buildtags>
            <buildtag>
                <name>BUILDTAG_1</name>
                <colorref>12632256</colorref>

  • The extra space created due to Conditional Build Tags

    Hello,
    I am authoring a online help file, for a web application. As different content is needed for the 4 different roles of the user, I have used Single Sourcing option and made use of conditional build tags for the content that is not common among the different roles. I even have images which are difffernt for the differnt roles. I have used conditional build tags for these too. The problem is that, extra space appears in place of the images which are not applicable to build I am publishing. Is there any workaround other than modifying the HTML files to remove the extra space added?
    Regards,
    Deepti Korwar

    hi Deepti,
    I have seen this issue on multi-level lists (in RH9) when using soft returns (Shift-Enter) within the lists.
    An extra space is added before images marked with CBTs. But this only caused problems in print.
    Are you seeing this space on all outputs or just print?
    Can you paste a code snippet from one of the offending list?
    Perhaps you can get round this by opening up the HTML tab and carefully examining and perhaps moving the CBTs.
    e.g. <?rh-cbt_start condition="xyz" ?><img src="xyz"  > <?rh-cbt_end ?></p><?rh-list_end ?>
    Will be helpful to see the code.
    thanks

  • Text coded with conditional build tags still showing up in TOC even if tag is "excluded"

    I am using TCS2, Windows XP.
    After creating a book in FM and coding with conditional build tags, I imported into RH. When I generate, I have the output tag set:
    NOT NoOUtput AND NOT Internal AND NOT Print - I want to generate my External, Online Help webhelp. And it works like a charm. Except that:
    In the TOC, I can still see headings for things that are "internal" - when I click on it, they don't go anywhere... but I don't want them to appear in the TOC!!
    It seems to be excluded from the index and the search. I am sure I am just missing a step or something...
    In looking through the forums I found this... http://forums.adobe.com/message/751847#751847 -- I don't know if it is still applicable since it seems to be referring to RH6 (which is a bit away from RH 8 that I am using)...
    Any help is appreciated!
    TIA,
    Adriana

    Hi Daggins,
    Thanks - that is good info to have. But as we all agree, that does take away from the point of single-sourcing.
    You aren't misunderstsanding exactly... I am doing all my conditional tagging in FM and it works like a charm in terms of the PDFs that I generate from FM, and even the conditionally tagged text in RH shows/hides correctly. The issue is I am also importing my index and TOC from FM... and even if I have an entire file in FM tagged as conditional (all the text is tagged as conditional, I don't know if you can tag a file as conditional), the file name as a heading it still appears in the RH TOC. There is no text... but in my view it shouldn't appear in the TOC either (it looks like just a broken link when I generate my online help) - this is not ideal.

  • How to apply conditional build tags to the topic title that is displayed in Search tab of CHM?

    I have the project in which 2 different words are used to reffer to one objects (this word/term depends on the customer). All other information related to functionality, steps, etc. are common. So:
    In the help content (body of the files), I created 2 conditional build tags (CBT) for these terms.
    In TOC, if topic title contains the term, I created 2 different topics reffered to the single topic file, but the title of the topic shows correct term (depends on CBT).
    File names of this topics contain only term1.
    The problem occurs when I generate CHM for CBT2 and search for the term1 (marked with CBT1) using the Search tab. All occurrencies where term1 presence in the file name, appear in the found results.
    How can I resolve the issue?
    These topics must be found by search (that's why "Exclude from search" option is not a decision).

    Ahhh, you are correct. I believe it was Version 10 introduced that.
    So here's what I'd suggest. Even though you are unable to use a variable in a Topic Title, it can still be used in other places such as the TOC, the Index and in the Topic content. So I'd still recommend that you declare and use a variable for those items. Just to simplify things.
    As for any topics that have the term in the title, you could create two topics. One with the term one way and the other with the term the opposite way. Then use a Conditional Build Tag to exclude and remove the one that shouldn't be found.
    This may cause you a bit of a maintenance issue by having the same topic content in more than one place. (one for each topic)
    So to overcome that, you would be able to add the main body information to a topic and use an Inline Frame in the two topics that would then simply be shells with appropriate Topic Titles. Either that or declare a snippet and use the snippet in both topics. Put the main part in the snippet.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Conditional Build Tags...weird behavior?

    If I apply a conditional build tag to a topic from the TOC
    tab, the topic gets included in the output even if I have specified
    that tag to be excluded.
    However, if I apply the same conditional build tag to a topic
    from the Project tab, then the topic gets excluded (as expected)
    from the output because I have specified that tag to be excluded.
    Is this inconsistency in behavior by design? I looked at the
    RoboHelp Help, and it appears there is nothing wrong with adding
    conditional build tags to topics from the TOC tab.
    Can someone shed light on this? I am using Adobe RoboHelp
    HTML 6, Build 099.
    Thanks,
    K
    P.S.: It appears RoboHelp is completely ignoring the
    conditional build tags that I am adding to topics from the TOC tab.
    If I see these tagged topics from the Project tab or the Topics
    tab, there is no color shading for these topics. The color shading
    for the topics shows only if I tag the topics from the Project Tab
    or the Topics tab.

    Here's a copy-paste from the RH Help...It didn't explain
    things the way you did. :-(
    Applying conditional build tags to Table of Contents
    Use conditional build tags to design and create multiple
    versions of your project from a single set of source files. After
    creating the conditional build tag, you can apply it to both books
    and pages in the TOC for maximum control over the final results.
    From the TOC view, you can apply conditional build tags to Topics
    also. When you generate a project, you can define conditional build
    expressions to include or exclude the book or page in the TOC, from
    the output.
    Show Me
    Use this procedure to apply conditional build tags to books
    and pages in the TOC. When you exclude such a tag from your output,
    the book or page in the TOC, is not included in the output.
    To apply a conditional build tag to a book or page in the
    TOC:
    Option 1:
    Create the conditional build tag.
    Click the TOC tab to view the Topic list.
    Select a book or page to which you want to apply a
    conditional build tag.
    Right-click and select Apply Conditional Build Tag, and
    choose the Tag you want to apply. The tag is applied to the
    selected book or page.
    When you generate the project, you can define conditional
    build expressions to include or exclude the tagged books or pages
    in the TOC, from the output. (A TOC to which a tag has not been
    applied, will be included in the output.)
    Option 2:
    Create the conditional build tag.
    Click the TOC tab to view the Topic list.
    Select the book or page to which you want to apply a
    conditional build tag.
    From the Format menu, select Apply Conditional Build Tag, and
    then choose a tag. The conditional build tag is applied to the
    selected book or page in the TOC.
    When you generate the project, you can define conditional
    build expressions to include or exclude tagged books or pages in
    the TOC, from the output. (A TOC to which a tag has not been
    applied, will be included in the output.)
    To apply multiple tags:
    From the Format menu, select Apply Conditional Build Tag, and
    choose New/Multiple. The Conditional Build Tag dialog box appears.
    Click Check All to apply all the tags, or select specific
    tags to apply to the book or page in the TOC.
    Click OK.
    If your project is under version control, these steps may
    include more options. Click here for more information.
    Tips:
    You can also apply conditional build tags to topics, topic
    content, folders, and Index.
    To verify the tags applied to topics, topic areas, TOC, and
    Index, or rename a tag, or change the color of a tag, click the
    Project tab, expand the Conditional Build Tags folder, and
    double-click the tag. You can make the desired changes in the
    Conditional Build Tag Properties dialog box.
    Ensure that you remove textual references to the excluded
    book or page, such as text links, which refer to the tagged book or
    page in the TOC. (Hotspots are not active for excluded topics.)
    If you generate Printed Documentation, TOC with Conditional
    Build tags are not excluded from printing.

  • Conditional Build Tags Ignored in Header

    Using RoboHelp HTML 8.
    When generating Microsoft HTML help, I have a conditional build tag which has been applied to the contents of the header and footer.
    Once I view the .chm, I still see the header and footer. There is a graphic in the header and text in the footer which are excluded, but the header and footer both have pattern backgrounds, which are images, that do not get excluded.
    Has anyone else seen this behavior, and/or know a workaround?
    Thanks!

    Conditional build tags are not imported to TOC from FrameMaker content. However, one can follow another approach to achieve this. One can manage the Conditional build expression in FrameMaker itself and import the filterted content in RoboHelp. Inorder to achieve this, set the conditional build expression in FrameMaker. Turn on the setting in RoboHelp to "Apply FrameMaker Conditional Text Build Expression". [File->Project Settings->Import->Edit(FrameMaker Settings)->Other Settings]
    This way RoboHelp will import only the filtered content with Conditional Build Tags resolved as per the expression applied in FrameMaker.

  • Conditional Build Tags automatically appearing

    I'm running RH 9.0.2.271 on Win 7, 64 bit machine.
    I have this procedure in the WYSIWYG editor, and I want to mark the yellow icon (highlighted in yellow below) with the Online conditional build tag (green hash highlight):
    So, I select that CBT, and so far everything looks fine in the WYSIWYG editor.
    However, if I go to the HTML editor to check the HTML and then go back to the WYGIWYG editor, it's screwed up and looks like this:
    Notice that the conditional online text is automatically covering steps 4 and 5 in the procedure. I thought this bug was supposedly exterminated in build 9.0.1, but seems to be happening... for me anyway. Any solutions to this? I've tried numerous ways of applying the CBT to that icon and it still ends up spanning the following two paragaphs.

  • Conditional Build Tags lost converting from X5

    When I did a trial conversion of an existing RH Office X5 project to RH8 it lost all of the Conditional Build Tags. As the X5 project was made up of 29 Word documents with many tags it would be a big job to go through all of the topics and redo the work. The company for which I work supplies multiple software products using common forms and the wording for each product is different, therefore when I compile help for each product the Conditional Build Tags are very important. Is there any way that the tags could be retained when converting to RH8. 

    Thanks for the suggestion.
    I have created all of the Conditional Build Tags and when I look at the
    properties it lists the Topics that they are used in. Howver, when I look at
    the properties of the individual topics the check boxes are all clear for
    all Conditional Build Tags.
    I have also noticed that none of the Content level conditionality has been
    preserved during the upgrade. This is a major problem as it would take a
    long time to go through all of the documents and re-apply the tags to text
    and graphics. If I do upgrade is this something that I would have to do
    manually?
    I have upgraded to 8.0.2

  • Conditional Build Tags Break on Chinese

    Using RH7 (for word) on Win XP with Word 2007.
    Generating HTMLHelp (chm only)
    I am trying to take full advantage of Conditional Build Tag
    to implement single source output. I have created my help files and
    had the text translated into Chinese. I had the person doing the
    translation simply add the Chinese text to the end of every English
    paragraph. Then I created conditional build tags for English and
    Chinese and applied the build tags the appropriate bodies of text.
    If I generate "Chinese" it appears to work correctly, however
    when I generate "English" I get the English text as well as a few
    characters of Chinese at the end of each paragraph. The Chinese
    characters that are displayed are seemingly random characters from
    the Chinese text, but I can not find any rhyme or reason as to why
    those particular characters are inserted.
    Things I have done to troubleshoot...
    - Explicitly excluded Chinese text from output (expression
    was "NOT Chinese") (No Change)
    - Added line breaks between English and Chinese (No Change.)
    - Changed the font encoding ("SimSun" and "Arial Unicode MS")
    (No Change)
    I only tried this because the original Chinese text used
    both fonts.
    - Removed punctuation from Chinese text. (No Change)
    I suspect there is a problem in RH7 for word when using
    Chinese characters, but I bought the new version of RH because it
    was supposed to be able to handle the Chinese characters. Well, it
    turns out the only official support for Chinese is when using
    RH-HTML (which was not mentioned when purchasing.) I have about 10
    years of work done in RH for Word and am not excited to migrate to
    HTML since some things don't transfer over when importing the
    project to HTML, like the conditional build tags for example.
    I have uploaded my doc, and an image that helps illustrate
    the problem.
    The Doc: Job_Console_ExtraTech.doc
    The Image: Job_Console_ExtraTech.jpg
    They are on the Support Portal FTP site...
    Here is the information I used to get there...
    https://www.adobe.com/support/crm_portal/ssi/ftpinfo.html
    If anyone else has had success with conditional build tags in
    RH7 for Word using Chinese text, I would really like to know if
    there are any tricks or secrets that might help me get this working
    correctly.
    Thanks, J

    I was a bit bummed when I found out I couldn't do the TOC
    with conditionals either. But I made the help files intentionally
    graphical so that the TOC, index, and searches are of less
    importance. I am using the help files as a sort of graphical
    trainer for an application suite.
    It is disappointing that Adobe touted the multilingual
    functionality of version 7 and this is what they meant, but it's
    better than nothing.
    I am just confused about how the Chinese characters are
    showing up when the conditional build tags are clearly supposed to
    be omitting them.
    I think the next step is to embrace the HTML transition and
    see if I have better luck there. The only daunting thing about that
    is recreating all the conditional build tags.

  • Conditional build tags with character styles and ignored text

    RoboHelp HTML v8.0.2.208
    Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 3 with 2 GB of RAM
    Output: WebHelp and HTML Help
    I have recently moved my projects from RH HTML X5 to RH HTML 8 and this is when the following problem appeared. I use lots of conditional build tags within the help projects. Some of these tags are for my own use for reference and I combine these with character styles containing a coloured background (highlight) so that they show up in the WebHelp or HTML Help output (e.g. text to identify the software version that the field/feature/text was added, reminders to check details, insertion of bug ID numbers, design document names, etc.). These areas of text are stripped out of the final build for customers by using a conditional build expression.
    What I have noticed is that if a paragraph contains text with a conditional build tag applied AND that tagged text has a character style applied AND an unknown word within the conditional build tag is ignored (with the HTML tag <?rh-ignored text="word_to_be_ignored" ?>), saving the topic, closing it, then re-opening it shows that the conditional build text has stretched to the next conditional build tag, or to the end of the topic if there aren’t any other conditional build tags. This also happens by switching from Design View to HTML View. Note that this doesn’t happen if Ignore All is applied to the unknown word.
    This doesn’t just apply to projects converted from RH X5. I created a new test project in RH8 and the same behaviour was observed. Similar behaviour occurred very occasionally in RH X5 but that seemed to be down to HTML tags being nested incorrectly.
    The largest project contains around 1200 topics and with many hundreds of conditional build text areas this now causes a problem. I’ll probably have to locate every ignored word in an area of conditional text within each project, set it to Ignore All and then manually remove and re-apply the conditional build tags, unless someone can come up with something clever. Can anyone else replicate this and should it be logged as a bug?

    Hi Daggins,
    Thanks - that is good info to have. But as we all agree, that does take away from the point of single-sourcing.
    You aren't misunderstsanding exactly... I am doing all my conditional tagging in FM and it works like a charm in terms of the PDFs that I generate from FM, and even the conditionally tagged text in RH shows/hides correctly. The issue is I am also importing my index and TOC from FM... and even if I have an entire file in FM tagged as conditional (all the text is tagged as conditional, I don't know if you can tag a file as conditional), the file name as a heading it still appears in the RH TOC. There is no text... but in my view it shouldn't appear in the TOC either (it looks like just a broken link when I generate my online help) - this is not ideal.

  • Conditional build tags/expressions in the TOC

    Hello all,
    I've run into another issue with my conversion, this time with Conditional build tags and expressions.
    All seems to be fine in my topics, but not in my TOC.
    Some of my topic titles have words that have conditional text applied in the source FrameMaker document.
    These topic titles also appear in the TOC that's automatically generated when I link my Frame book to Robohelp.
    I set the conditional build expression in the Webhelp settings dialog and then Save and Generate.
    These topic titles appear to pick up the correct conditional build expression in the topics themselves, but the TOC heading shows multiple conditions (including the condition I've set to "Exclude").
    So, for example, if my topic title is
    "Conventions in this documentonline help"
    WHERE
    document > should appear in PDF only
    and
    online help > should appear in Webhelp only
    I can get the Webhelp topic to use the title "Conventions in this online help"
    but the corresponding TOC heading looks like this:
    "Conventions in this documentonline help"
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.
    Sue

    Conditional build tags are not imported to TOC from FrameMaker content. However, one can follow another approach to achieve this. One can manage the Conditional build expression in FrameMaker itself and import the filterted content in RoboHelp. Inorder to achieve this, set the conditional build expression in FrameMaker. Turn on the setting in RoboHelp to "Apply FrameMaker Conditional Text Build Expression". [File->Project Settings->Import->Edit(FrameMaker Settings)->Other Settings]
    This way RoboHelp will import only the filtered content with Conditional Build Tags resolved as per the expression applied in FrameMaker.
