I was hoping for a response, but should have phrased it as a question: is this considered a bug? will it get attention soon?

Thanks,

Ed Dressel

Thanks... that kinda helps. I have 8 different builds and while +90% is the same, sometimes it is not. I even use PDF and HTML compiler directives, so it isn't going to have the same results.

I hope this is considered a bug and can be fixed soon.

Much appreciated.

Ed Dressel

Thank you. I changed the settings (they were all unchecked), exited H&M, and recompiled from the command line. I am getting more detail, but I don't get any information about missing images. I opened the PDF and there are images missing.

Any suggestions?

Ed Dressel

I do my build process via command line, having 8 different outputs of the same H&M file. In my .INI files, I have the following line: ... L=..\Logs\<file name>.log And the file is being geneated. I wanted to be sure I didn't delete any used images by mistake, so to test, I deleted a few images I...

Thank you.

What is the extension of an ebook? My .ini file looks like this:
I tried (after looking at the help file) .ebk and .epub but neither worked.

I use it in my Word and Outlook applications (not web-based), they have a download that integrates with it.

Thank you.

What is the "I=..." setting for compiling to WebHelp, and what are some of the options. i.e. my CHM settings include:

I=CHM,OPT_FB,OPT_HDBG,OPT_HDLOGO,...

I searched the H&M help but didn't find anything.

Much appreciated.

Have you ever considered integration with Grammarly? It is a 3rd party product that does a really good job in English correcting grammar mistakes. I would love it if H&M had this as an option.

We have a CHM file we wanted to share with a company. I compiled it and it looks fine on my computer. When I sent it via MS Teams to a coworker to check and the contents are blank. When I download the same file I sent in Teams, the contents are blank. When I compare the downloaded file with the one ...

I was able to reproduce this in a demo using the link below. SImilar text to the video: remove the underline, save, close, reopen and it is still underlined.

In my main project, I have some text that is underlined every time I re-open the project--even though I explicitly remove the underlining from it before saving it. Here is a link to a video of what I am seeing: http://www.tbinc.com/misc/HMUnderlinedBlock.zip I did try selecting a larger block and tu...

Thank you for the reply. I think the solution to the complexity is in a great GUI design. What that looks like, I don't know, but after programming for 30+ years now, anytime something is going to be complex, the GUI gets a lot of work. I think it is doable, but I understand it isn't easy. (If it wa...

I use Snippets a lot--they save me a ton of time. I really love them. But there is a feature I would love them to have that would save me more time. I tried to ask this before, but I don't think I described it very well. I am trying again. I hope this is clear. In a Snippet, I often need to put a li...

Hmm. Are you getting the full log or is it just the messages I listed that you wanted to suppress additionally?

Yes, you are correct: changing the settings in the IDE does change the log output.

Thanks,

Ed Dressel

Tim: That wasn't clear. My apologies. ... nobody has ever wanted to shorten the CLI logs before. I made this request years ago, we interacted on it. :-) We're going to change this in the next update so that these messages are also suppressed Thanks. I think I can wait that long. :-) ...you are proba...
