Text toggle not working in ad-hoc export

Unread post by BertholdL »

Hello to everyone,

My text toggle is not working in an ad-hoc export of the topic.
The toggle has the following settings:
Toggle_settings.png
In the Webhelp in Firefox it looks like this:
Toggle_in_Browser.png
Any idea why the toggle is always open in the Webhelp?

Thank you!

What do you mean by "ad-hoc export"? Toggles will only work within the full WebHelp system, which is deeply integrated. They won't work in single topics on their own without all the other WebHelp component files. They will also fail if they contain editing errors in the Help+Manual source. For example, they will fail if you use icons and delete the tab character between the icon and the title or replace the tab character with a different character, like one or more spaces.

They won't work in single topics? Then this is the reason. How can I test the export of single topics then? I guess, this function is only for a rough overview how the exported topic looks like, without details like toggles. Correct?

That's correct. It's not designed to be used for production output.
