Re: Instructions for creating Topic template is out of date... and could be simplified

Aha, I see the problem - this is a pretty common thing I find myself doing in my own documentation where I become so familiar with the client's software that I find myself sometimes skipping over what is obvious to me now and not re-iterating the fundamentals to make the rest of the step-by-steps ea...

Re: Image shortcut in build 5750

FYI as replied in email, issue also happens in the Getting Started sample project built into H+M. shared images in question in my own projects were definitely not in the root of C:\ as was indicated by the relative path shown, they are in a subfolder of c:\dev\default\documents... at most one or two...

RE: Bookmarks news article the other day....

Hi, this was a useful reminder for me about the bookmarks function (https://www.helpandmanual.com/news/2020/01/how-to-bookmark-topics-in-helpmanual/) - thanks for the heads up... but note that in my new enthusiasm I also wanted to bookmark some regularly accessed topics files in my repository - e.g....

Finding candidate text for making into reusable snippets

Single sourcing, de-duplicating content is a wonderful thing, both from reducing the risk of errors and massively reducing workloads. I use snippets a lot - and store then in a repository. Its great, allows me to do what would be a 40 hour a week barely-keeping-head-above-water job into a easy task ...

Re: Inconsistency in link numbering sizing

Hi, attached to separate email is a quick test project which demonstrates the issue - the problem does not seem to be the number in the link referrer - it seems to be dependent on the characters in the title of the topic that are affecting it. E.g. where the topic name is consistent the number sizin...

Inconsistency in link numbering sizing

I'm finding font used in some of the PDF page referrers icons is very inconsistent when it comes to 3+ digit page numbers - see example... 2019-06-19_12-14-13.png And of course, the boss wants this particular design. Bah! Hoping there is a quick and easy fix (ps. the default "Large page icon&qu...

Re: Toggle Images tooltip vs caption Field order

Thanks - I think the ordering must have slipped this build though - build shows as 4700 but the still shows as tooltip then caption for toggle images (in edit toggle window) caption then tooltip in regular images (in open image window) it may be that the fix missed this build -- that often happens i...

Toggle Images tooltip vs caption Field order

Hi, just noticed that when editing the tooltip and captions of Toggle images the fields are reversed compared to editing a normal window. This is causing a few errors in where I should be putting the <%HMFIGURECOUNTER%> because I get so used to the field order I have stopped being able to notice the...

Table column sizing bug?

I have just noticed that manually sizing column in a table does not work any more. Possibly an issue since last build?

Previously I could manually size the first column to say, 100px and the table would immediately adjust. Now it does not.

Re: Adding form elements - mission impossible or opportunity

Nice start thanks Martin. It'll be interesting to see if I can find a way of including snippets, conditional elements etc., within the form functionality.

Looks like I have some mad professor things to try in my down time...

Adding form elements - mission impossible or opportunity!?

OK, interesting question from a prospective client that is looking to get smart with singe-source documentation for producing dozens or hundreds of checklist forms filled in by engineers in the field... The ability for H+M to generate PDFs with form fields would be amazing, I'd be able to implement ...
