WinHelp HPJ import with RTF files

[R_Blanco]

Hi,

I have imported a WinHelp HPJ with RTF files in the same folder. Attached are the screen shots with comments which explain the issue I am having with the import process.

I appreciate your help.

The Map data should be imported automatically when you import the HPJ project. What specific problems are you experiencing? Your posting isn't very clear on this...

Hello R_Blanco,

I think you mistake the RTF filenames for topic IDs, which is not the case. An RTF file typically contains multiple topics, each with a separate ID, and each topic separated from the next one with a hard page break. The topic IDs are assigned with special Winhelp footnotes - if I remember correctly, it was a #-footnote.

It may be possible that your RTF files each just contain 1 topic without a dedicated ID defined inside the RTF. But that would really be a special case. In this case, Help+Manual would automatically assign generic IDs such as IDH_1 to give each topic page a unique name.

Your [MAP] section seems to refer to RTF filenames, not to topic IDs. That explains why it has not been imported, because there is no matching topic.

Hi Alexander,

Each RTF is a separate topic (see attached screen shots). They are generated by a software development tool.

Doesn't the "footnote" contain the dedicated topic id? My goal is to have them appear under "topics" in Help+Manual with the topic name in the "footnote".

Does it help merging the RTF files before importing the HPJ?

That should do it. But I cannot say much about it without an example. Would you mind to email an example to support (@) ec-software.com?
