Re: Text toggle that displays a screenshot ?

I was hoping to get a "middle-of-the-screen" popup of the screenshot as happens in an image toggle, rather than an "inline-with-text" appearance, as happens for text toggles (my text links will be in the middle of a bulleted paragraph). Is this possible ? Not with a text link, b...

Re: Text toggle that displays a screenshot ?

Hi Olivier, This is easy to to because the link for dropdown text toggles is not a paragraph. Create the toggle, put your screenshot in the toggle table, then move the toggle link into the paragraph above the toggle table. There can also be one paragraph (preferably empty) between the paragraph cont...

Re: New scope attribute added in 9.4.2

Hi Michal,

This was actually announced in this blog posting:

https://www.helpandmanual.com/news/2024 ... elpmanual/

The sole purpose of this is to make table components more easily identifiable for screen readers and other related tools. :?

Then select the Dropdown Menus group and edi...

Re: topic link font color

Styling hyperlinks like this for HTML output can be achieved with a few lines of additional CSS code in the skin you are using to publish your project. The standard WebHelp skins included in Help & Manual and the Premium Pack skins already contain this code, you just need to edit it for your per...

Re: No SVG animation in eWriter output?

Can you bundle WebView2 with eViewer per Distribute your app and the WebView2 Runtime? It's a little problematic because of its size (over 150mb) and the need to continue supporting the EXE eWriter version as well, with the viewer embedded in the help file. WebView2 is now rolling out slowly in Win...

Re: Embedded pdf files not loading into pdf output document

Some pdf files are linked, while others are not. ... When going to the published document, most linked pdf files have yellow icons and can be opened, while others have no icons and therefore do not open. I'm guessing that you actually mean embedded in the PDF here when you write "linked",...

Re: Output of .html in V5 Coolmax (instead of .htm)

Hi Birgit, In the V3-V5 Premium Pack skins the index.html file is actually a regular topic file, just like all the others (it's the default topic). Because of this, it's very important that this file and all the other topic files have the same extension (.htm, .html or .php). And because it's so imp...

Re: Embedded pdf files not loading into pdf output document

Hi Mark, If you link to a PDF with a file link and want to embed it, you also need to activate the embedding option for *.pdf in Configuration > Publishing > PDF Layout. For example, if you want to embed, PDF, DOCX, and XLS files, the entry for the file link embedding should be (note the commas!): *...

Re: No SVG animation in eWriter output?

Hi Gerold, Is this supposed to work? Unfortunately, no: This is because the only universally available WebView component in Windows for rendering HTML is still based on Internet Explorer -- and not even the latest version of that. The WebView2 component is based on the Chromium/Blink engine that is ...

Re: Embedded pdf files not loading into pdf output document

Hi Mark, You don't say how you are including these documents: Are you embedding them directly in the flow of the original document as PDF snippets, or are you embedding hidden within the PDF for display with links? It sounds more like the latter. As a general principle, I would recommend against try...

Re: Desktop border

Hie Stewart, To be honest, I hadn't even noticed the small border myself. I had always seen it as something positive, because on light-colored windows it makes the window edges clearly visible and on dark ones you generally don't see it. But I can see how it might sometimes be something you would wa...
