Hi Tim, Thanks for the quick answer. I do like the skin and how it works, except for the issue at hand. When I modify the default template in the skin and add the following meta tag: <meta name="revised" content="<%TOPICLASTEDITED%>"/> it ends up in the individual html toc files ...

Hi, When designing a new skin based on Minimalist_Standard_webhelp 3.45 I ran into a difficulty showing the value of <%TOPICLASTEDITED%> in the footer. When a topic is loaded, only the HTML META <TITLE> and HTML META <DESCRIPTION> are changed. It would be great if a (new) HTML META key "revisio...

Hi Tim,
I will do so. Thanks a lot for the help on this!

Hi André, Since the CSS for this is inline and there are no classes attached to the surrounding tags you really can't change this via CSS. The simplest way to do it is to edit your custom toggle icons and add or remove white space around the icon to move it into the correct position. :? Hi Tim, Thi...

Hi, When my project is published I see that image toggles are not correctly aligned with the text. The margin values are set on the element during publishing, so I cannot correct this in the CSS. See the attached screenshot. Where do I have to change it to get this right? In my case setting the marg...

Thanks for the quick answer. This indeed isn't the best solution.
Maybe I might ask you a general question: is there anywhere software that merge 'plain' Webhelp into one?

Hi, Some of the products for which we create help, are based on Smallworld GIS from GE. In their new version they abandoned the CHM format, and deliver only Web help, created with Madcap Flare. Until now they did not offer us any way of integrating our additional user help besides using Madcap Flare...

Hi, We have a set of 50 chm-files that are part of a master chm. Half of the children are to be maintained by our company. Those files must be rewritten and are converted into H&M format. The other half still will be maintained by a third party. The topics in the parent and all childs can be ope...

Hi,
Maybe that the names are matched case-sensitive?

Hi, Indeed, we included chm-files we generated with H&M. I don't understand the TOC mismatch, because all references to the .chm-filenames are the same. Anyhow, we now want to incluce our own projects and merge them on compile time, which makes life easier. Thanks. But for a proper understanding...

Hi, Thanks for the response. I get the feeling I'm doing something wrong, because I don't understand the question. We include the child .chm-files as shown below, and add to the extended .hhp-settings .alias- and .h-files that include the context id mappings. This procedure works for the third party...

Hi, In a modular project calls by index to topics in child chm-files do show up, but the TOC of the master does not unfold the addressed child topic. Strangely enough it does work by chm files from third parties we include. We compile the master with .ali and .h files. What can we do to solve this p...

Yes, that is right.
But regardless that, do you think there is a better way of achieving my goal?

Thanks for your response. The third party help libraries we want to add are most likely not created by Help&Manual, esp. because instructions for customizations by the supplier of the help (a subsidiary of Ge) are written for HTML Help Workshop, which of course is no option. I indeed used the fa...

Thanks for the answer, although you might not be suprised that I was not happy with it. I did some more testing to get to the bottom of this. This is why my answer is delayed. In contradiction to your statement I was able to facilitate calls through a master to a child by suppying .ali and .h files ...
