Hi Gerold, Which viewers specifically are you testing? I can reproduce this in Calibre, and it is a Calibre error that it is not displaying the embedded bitmap correctly. Since this appears to be quite common we are probably going to switch to exporting PNG only to ePub and Mobi in the next update. :?

Update: There is a roundabout way to achieve this. If you have a Mac available you can use the Mac eViewer to open it. This viewer works by unpacking the contents to the Mac's standard temp directory, from where you can then recover all the HTML files and images while the viewer is still open. If yo...

Hi Apple,

I'm not sure about this. I'm checking with our developers and we'll get back to you on it. You may have to resort to your latest daily backuip.

Hi Gerold,

I can reproduce this issue as well, also in Calibre. We're on it.

Hi Gerold,

Thanks for posting this. I can reproduce the behavior in SnipSVG => Help+Manual and we'll get it fixed asap. (I've moved this topic to the SnipSVG section as it's more relevant there)

IF_ISDEFAULT_PAGE still not mentioned in documentation, can this be fixed? Somehow it never got added, but both <IF_ISDEFAULT_PAGE> and <IFNOT_ISDEFAULT_PAGE> are definitely supported since build 841 of version 8. I've made a note of this for updating the help. Thanks for reporting it. 8)

No problem, glad you got it sorted.

Hi Martin, My guess is that those chapters and snippets either weren't excluded from publishing or were left over and not deleted from an earlier publish operation. Since the search index is generated from whatever files are in the output folder, they would also be included in it if they were presen...

Hi Andrew, This is a bizarre little bug that took a while to locate because it only affects the last topic in the project. Actually, it should affect every topic -- this behavior appears to be another weird quirk of the CHM system, that hasn't been updated since 1998. It's caused by a missing closin...

Hi Andrew, This isn't a known issue and it's not possible to guess what might be causing it without looking at the project you're publishing. Please send a demo project with which you can reproduce the issue to support AT ec-software.com (replace the AT with @) and we'll check it directly. Save the ...

Hi Bob,

HelpXplain includes everything you need for this out of the box. You will find the instructions for this directly in the documentation, here:

Sorry, there was an additional character that shouldn't be there in this version. Remove the curly brace after "else". It should be:

The line is actually highlighted / blinks, but then I cannot scroll further. Is there any workaround I can implement? I doubt this behavior would pass any certification attempts in an accessibility check - which is our final goal. Please try this: Edit the hm_webhelp.js file in the baggage and loca...

Is there any solution to this? My expectation would be that after the jump, the reading process can continue at that anchor. Currently the page scrolls to the anchor, but it is not highlighted because anchors are invisible objects. It would be necessary to highlight the next paragraph after the anc...

The feature to have a table generated when you have numbered steps is great, but would be MUCH greater if we could edit the text IN SnipSVG and have the table be generated automatically with text in H&M. As this is XML in some way other readers could also make use of the text. The text is alrea...
