Whilst sections can be indented, you must be aware that the names of indented sections will not show in a Word output and may not show in a PDF output depending on the options you choose.īoth are described in more detail in Book TOCs below.Book TOCs enable Front and Back Matter to be included.These are meant for the PDF and Word outputs. The books are now known as sections and can be nested in the same way as in Classic versions. These are clearly meant for any online output, frameless, responsive, CHM and so on. Now two types of TOC can be set up, online and book. The changes do not radically change that but do remove the problems that many levels of nesting could cause in printed documents. You either had a separate TOC for online and print to avoid some of the problems or you used one TOC that worked in your scenario, maybe you didn't have many levels of nesting in the TOC. In Classic versions, there were two ways of working. That way book titles were all H1 style in line with the topic headings that followed.īecause of those issues, changes have been made. Click to see this example Click to see this example.įor those reasons the best solution in Classic versions was to create a TOC that flattened all the books to one level. However, it meant that the book name was in a lower level style than the following topic. If all your topics started in the usual way with the heading being set to the H1 style, that would be maintained and all books no matter what their level of nesting would also be H1. You could select a check box Maintain HTML Heading Levels.In Classic versions of Adobe RoboHelp that could be handled in one of two ways. Microsoft Word bases its TOC on heading levels. Of more practical relevance though is the issues it caused in Word outputs. Books in the real world do not contain other books.TOCs in the authoring world are made up of books that contain nested books that may also contain nested books.However, that created some issues with Word outputs. Previously there was one TOC structure that could be used for all types of output. There is some degree of using online TOCs for PDF and Word outputs and using a book TOC for an online output. Online is for any output that will be viewed online, such as frameless, responsive and ePub.This is explained in The TOC Controls Your Outputs below.Īlso Adobe RoboHelp now structures the TOC in different ways for Online and Book outputs. That does not mean users have to see all topics in the TOC. The key thing to understand is that anything that is to be included in the build must be in the TOC. In Adobe RoboHelp the TOC controls to what goes into your build. See Bits and Pieces for in-topic Mini TOCs.

Using Airplane Help requires associating the offline Help system with the RH_AssociateOfflineHelp program function.This topic covers the full Table of Contents.
“What’s This?” topics are supported only by WinHelp and MS HTML Help projects.Īirplane Help − This usually refers to offline help that is called when there is no access to the internet. Users can access window-level CSH by calling the Help function within the application or pressing F1.įield-level (What's This?) − This CSH describes information when a user clicks on a question mark icon and then clicks a field or function. Window-level − This level of CSH provides topics for windows, dialog boxes and other fields.
The Help engine then matches the map number to a topic ID and HTM file and displays the correct help topic. The help engine receives the map number and help file name whenever the user accesses a CSH. The process of creating a CSH involves specifying map IDs and map files. For example, you can provide help information when a user hovers over a dialog box or other objects. Such help is called Context-Sensitive Help (CSH). Sometimes, you might feel the need to create help files relative to the action performed by the user.
