Re: No SVG animation in eWriter output?

The WebView2 component is based on the Chromium/Blink engine that is also used in MS Edge and Google Chrome, and that does have full support for current SVG standards. Unfortunately, Microsoft hasn't rolled out WebView2 completely. If we switch eViewer to WebView2 prematurely, it will stop working ...

Sorry, I didn't realise that. Yes I can see how to adjust it now.

How do I change the underlying screenshot while preserving the blur overlay?

Thanks

Re: Translating SnipSVG

Hi Tim Yes absolutely agree: the blur must be irreversable in an SVG output image. But currently the blur is permanent in the SnipX file too. I was thinking of a potential additional feature for a later release where a blur can be overlaid as an movable/sizable/removable object in SnipSVG, that's ap...

SnipSVG works well with Outlook and PowerPoint 365

The need for documentation is often triggered by an emailed support question and reply. Outlook 365 seems to have no problem rendering pasted or inserted SnipSVG annotated screenshots like this one from an SAP system: Process Control.png In my tests this works in Outlook 365 web viewer and the deskt...

Re: HelpXplain XML schema?

Hi Alexander Thanks for the feedback. I think for our use case - which is mainly re-purposing/translating - we can simply replace files in the zipped xplain: there's usually a 1-to-1 equivalent, so it isn't essential to understand the XML. The goal was never to replace HelpXplain, just to scaffold i...

I just checked and the XML used in Xplains isn't currently documented officially. It's also not formalized with an XSD, as of yet. :?
Thanks for checking!

Re: HelpXplain XML schema?

Hi Tim

Yes, I know about Helpman_XML_Ref.chm

I was wondering whether there was something similar for HelpXplain, documenting elements like <frame> <spotlight> <calloutshape>, the <VisualElements> configuration etc.

Thanks,
Simon

HelpXplain XML schema?

Is the HelpXplain project file XML schema documented anywhere?

I was thinking of testing Altova StyleVision as a starting point to pre-populate projects.

Thanks for any info

Re: SVG arrow head problems

I agree, for SVG, go for the lowest common denominator (but, please allow SVG fragment references). The auto-start-reverse seems to be SVG 2.0 per https://www.w3.org/TR/svg-markers/#MarkerElement, which also suggest auto is ambiguous. FYI when I tried saving and loading Greg's svg, I got these resul...

Re: Integrating WebHelp in SharePoint

I tried this a year ago and it works. This is what I learned... You need to have admin access to a newly created site. You have to run some PowerShell scripts to enable H+M content. Fiddly but not a barrier. It worked for me. I was going to write it up but I didn't think anyone would be interested: ...

Maybe you should send a failing file to Tim for checking. Alexander found the problem in the sample I sent him, perhaps yours is related?

Re: Inserting htm page in HTML

Re: "I have yet to find a Visio SVG that imports correctly. Not HMs fault though."

It might be fixable.

@Tim I've sent you an example Visio SVG that H+M doesn't import correctly.

@Gerold Krommer perhaps you could send example(s) too...
