Re: How to hide the TOC

When re-testing on a phone, particularly iPhones, you need to actively clear the cache because they're very aggressive with caching and if you don't actively clear it you'll still get the old version, no matter how often you reload. Hi Tim, Tim, I use the .php extension option for all H&M webhe...

Re: How to hide the TOC

Hi Tim, This is clunky, but works without wrecking anything. edit: crossed with Tim. If you haven't already, copy the Webhelp, iFrames Responsive, Blue.hmskin file from its initial location to somewhere else where you can edit it. Change the skin setting in your project to use it. Open it in H&M...

Thanks for advice! But unfortunately this looks not so good :(
Try a smaller font for the dots? Or a space between them?

Re: The dots remain on the previous line in PDF

Hi Svetlana,

Instead of ordinary dots, try using ALT+0149 (on numberpad) instead:

••\path\path

Re: Page referrers as plain text

Interesting idea Hi Tim, I have suggested it and wish-listed it several times over the years*. Most of the commonly-used fonts have a constant width for the numeric characters. But I don't see that it would matter very much if a slightly different font had to be used for them, if the font in use di...

Re: Screenshot/picture/image size

You have to go to great lengths to modify the image size at runtime in a web browser. For a regular web browser, there is simply no CSS setting that would make it scale the picture to physical screen pixel values. Well I don't know about great lengths. Here's a demo page which does it, containing l...

What is this script? Could you possibly help me to do the same? I think this is exactly what I need for my screenshots. That will only help you if you are the only person viewing the documentation you write. Hi Tim, That is not the case. My script works for all users. It causes images to appear at ...

Re: Screenshot/picture/image size

You do not want to see the picture in Help+Manual at its real physical pixel size Hi Alexander, I do want that, and I have a script running in my H&M page template to make it happen. All images larger than icons are displayed dot-for-dot at their native size. The script sets the max-width to th...

Re: HTML page templates in reports

Hi Martin, Sorry, but page templates aren't currently included in the Reports tool. Using more than one template is also something that is quite rare, as far as I can see from feedback in support. :? Hi Tim, Thanks for the quick reply. I'm surprised folks aren't making more use of the HTML page tem...

Re: Please finally sort the keyboard shortcuts out....

Bumping this topic hoping it might get resolved as just noted this is only an issue in newer versions of H&M, in version 7.5.3 the shortcut keys were fine, so seems even stranger that a newer version should have the issue....... Hi Darren, The traditional shortcuts do actually work (Ctrl+S to S...

HTML page templates in reports

Hi Tim, Am I missing something obvious? My project uses several different HTML page templates. I've got in a bit of a muddle about which topic uses which template, and I want to tidy them up (some are no longer in use). I assumed one of the options in the Report tool would be a list of templates use...

Re: Is there a way to search XML content across the entire source?

Hi Dave, Use Notepad++ (free, https://notepad-plus-plus.org ) which has a Search > Find in Files... function. No need to open any of the files. Set it to search all XML files in the project Topics folder. Click on the search results to open the file in Notepad++. Don't have the project open in H&...

It would be worth trying using CrossOver:

Re: Flow chart integration

Any ideas? Even open to different methods of creating flow charts. Hi, 1. You could create a flowchart as a large table. It's easy to add rows and columns in H&M. Each cell could be: blank, or contain an arrow image, or contain clickable content -- an image or text. 2. Go back to good old Impic...
