Help & Manual Forums

Thanks a lot.
The 2 lines for defining a minimum number of toggles are working fine, and your other answers about the issue of assigning the skin on a "Build server" context have been helpful.

Best regards

Thanks for your tip. I have not tried yet but certainly intend to do so. Right now I'm attending to another issue: The skin is intended for use by a set of projects from which publishing to CHM are done automatically on a build server. So far we have not managed to get an export done with the skin -...

How does the free DeepL access compare with the paid API plugin key (roughly 5 Euro/Month plus charge for actual use, usually very modest)?

What would be a good reason to keep on paying?

I've adapted a skin supplied with Help&Manual (or premium pack?) (CHM Skin, Light Grey Header, Feature Images.hmskin) to suit my preferences. I appreciate the navigation arrows in the topic header and with some trial and error changed the code to display any of the arrows (prev/up/next) only if ...

In the meantime I have created an adaptation of the standard skin CHM Skin, Light Grey Header, Feature Images.hmskin that solves the isses reported in this conversation. Previously I had just not been using skins. This gives me some neat points of improvement but also raises a question which I may s...

Hi Tim, first of all, thanks for your responses. Well, originally the projects affected by my issue did not use any skin but instead I manually edited the default page template and added another one mainly for topics that I intended to have a colored (yellowish) background. My first attempt to use a...

There seems to be an issue with uploading too many attachments...

The Problem with a simple page template or Skin is that that doesn't give me non-Scrolling Topic headers. I tried the example for a page template for non-scrolling headings provided with Help&Manual, and also a skin or two, but without convincing success. My examination of the Problem so far sug...

Somewhere in the progress of Help&Manual versions, with some topics of my CHM help files the "separate heading" of the topic started to appear separated by a gap from the toolbar at the top of the CHM help window. The two screenshot clips attached should illustrate what I mean. The mor...

I have an vintage software that uses online help in Webhelp format, and the webhelp was created from help&manual using "sky_blue_horiz" as skin. Now with version 8 of Help&Manual (and current internet browsers) I understand that skin is obsolete. The software will continue to be us...

I'm very interested in using DeepL plugged into Help&Manual (API License), but 2 Things (and maybe more) puzzle me: 1- Do I understand correctly, that 1 license unit is of Deepl API is sufficient if no more that one person AT THE SAME TIME uses it, but a number of persons ("seats") cou...

Ah, the Picture tool, not the New Slide Tools.

Thanks - that does it.

I don't need a new slide - only a modified Picture in an existing slide (the UI of the program I'm documenting undergoes changes, that requires updates in the "capture" pictures´of existing slides). What I did once was to work around it by loading a Picture into a newly-created slide, then...

Having made a screencast with several slides, each slide having a "Capture object" (capture_n.png), at some later date I want to check and update some captures. That is, replace them with corrected or updated versions of the same captures. After studying the Xplain online help (for example...

Thanks for your tip. With predefined rather that automatic character sizes my text object works as intended, including typewriter animation. However, working with German localization setting, I found the German rendering of "Customize Theme" confusing. May I suggest (Darf ich vorschlagen?)...
