Help & Manual Forums

I'm just thinking it's worth a try, maybe not now but to be considered in the future. I agree there are many false positive reports by AI chatbots. But they can detect stylistic issues if you feed them with proper rules. AI chatbots can, for example, autofill more accurate Topic description (variabl...

IF_ISDEFAULT_PAGE still not mentioned in documentation, can this be fixed?

Hello, is there any plan to implement AI integration to Help&Manual? Use cases: 1. I am a techwriter and want to sent my H&M topic to chatbot for validation, using a H&M button, returning suggestions to H&M topic as <draft-comment> 2. Customize chatbot API URL and request scope due t...

It seems the reason of adding these attribute to tables is because of supporting more HTML5 and WCAG: https://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/Drafts/tutorials/tables/scope/ https://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_th_scope.asp Just mentioning this if anyone is searching for reasons, it's not mentioned in H&M releas...

How about having a "date" as a version of documentation?
Variables like VERSION_MAJOR, VERSION_MINOR sounds like to me as version for a product/software the documentation is intended for.

What is correct usage of ELSE statements in H&M?

A/
[IF]Text 1[ENDIF][ELSE]Text 2[ENDIF]

B/
[IF]Text 1[ELSE]Text 2[ENDIF]

The documentation states that B is correct:

It seems also A variant works for me. Just asking.

Another way of customizing TOC is just to echo <%TABLE_OF_CONTENTS%> (inline a .html file or in an <iframe>), then apply you own CSS and JavaScript. As we do. But you have to be fully familiar with web front-end development.

We use a dynamic approach, i.e. a custom javascript code to add unique ID based on heading title (if title in different heading is the same, add -2, etc.). As well as a copy icon showed on hover for each heading element. jQuery part of the code: $("#topicText h2, #topicText h3").each(funct...

Hello. Is there a possibility to add a a/ checkbox somewhere to HTML Export Options to add the loading="lazy" attribute for larger images inside topic contents b/ possibility to set the "loading" attribute for each image in the Open Image editor? https://www.w3schools.com/tags/at...

Hello.
There's Number of heading rows setting in H&M table properties, but how can I define a table with vertical heading column?

Example:

I made a .ps1 script to help identifying all snippets. param( [Parameter()] [string]$topicFile ) # Check if topicFile exists if (!(Test-Path $topicFile -PathType Leaf)) { Write-Host "Document $topicFile in Topics does not exist" -ForegroundColor Red Exit } function Snippets { param ( [Para...

We use Sourcetree for GIT integration with the H&M source, helpful for users who don't like command line.

Thanks Tim and developers for the fast fix!
Works perfectly.

Also, I understand that priority for RTL languages like Arabic and Hebrew has lower priority than other important features of the product.

Tim, thanks for your fast reply. We prefer to have standard HTML lists, <ul> and <ol>, instead of having paragraphs with a beginning of a HTML bullet &#8226;. Having Export lists as text enabled works visually correctly in LTR languages but is buggy in RTL languages. Where did you learn that <hr...

Preconditions: - Export Lists as Text (recommended) unchecked - H&M version 8.4.4 Problem: - Horizontal rule (hr) is inside the ordered list Expected behavior: - Horizontal rule should not be in the ordered list (see HTML output) H&M source: <list id="0" type="ol" listtyp...
