I was under the impression that my customized Webhelp skin would also work when publishing as an ewriter file. That does not seem to be the case. Do you have any recommendations, guidelines for either making my webhelp skin compatible with both or creating a new skin from my Webhelp skin and elimina...

Has anyone come up with a solution they might like to share or discuss? I would like to create a graphic troubleshooting flowchart with clickable links to existing sections in my project. While working inside a table structure is an option it would seem to be extremely hard to modify and not very at...

Experimenting with the keyboard navigation provided by the CoolMax and the V5_Modern_FlexKeyboard_Standard_WebHelp skins. While the navigation works as expected when the site is initially generated and automatically displayed in my browser. By that I mean if I press ALT-T the Topic header is selecte...

I hope you will also reconsider adding a skin option to include the "next", "previous", "top" navigation buttons in the Cool Max screen which otherwise does look "cool". Since I have not had time to do too much with that skin I also don't know what it looks li...

:oops: Thanks Tim, I missed that entirely... however what I would really like to do is default to expanded on desktop but not on phone. That would require something in the skin. Looks like I need to take your recommendation and reach out to a friend or colleague to help with the placement of the con...

I'm would like to default the dropdown toggle to "expand" rather than having to click to expand each item or hope the user discovers the option on the hamburger menu. This looks like what I am looking for but I don't know where to place the bit of code below in my V4 Modern Standard webhel...

I like the minimalist look of the Cool Max series and have been playing with it a bit. The first thing I noticed is that after adding keyboard navigation, which I have not tested yet, it seems counterintuitive to eliminate the Next/Previous/Top navigation buttons. I also found that the variable cont...

I understand that migrating a V4 Mod Std skin to one of the completely different V5 Cool Max isn't supported but when I read about the "Improvements in the Modern Flexible, Modern Magazine and Modern Standard skins" and tried to copy the config from my V4 Mod Std to the V4 Mod Std that cam...

I have been using a V4 Modern Standard Webhelp skin with PPT 4.4.1 and tweaked with my colors and options etc. I am unable to successfully copy my skin to the V4 Modern Standard Webhelp skin in my that came with the new PPT 5. I get the "Error Skin Type Mismatch" message. What do you think...

Are you hinting at something new with the Premium Pack help page header "H+M Premium Pack 4.2.0"?

I know this thread is old but it is the only one I found on the subject. I have a master project containing 35 projects with a total of 2262 topics of which only 96 are snippets. I'm trying to clean up and was looking for a way to xfref the snippets to topics so I can find any snippets that are unus...

I had already noticed that the topic page was first opened in a new tab before the print dialog opened up regardless of which browser I am using, when using the "print" option from within the help page. That is kind of ugly IMO. What is odd however is that even when I print a page using th...

Hi Tim, its been four years since any discussion about printing breadcumbs from WebHelp. My Webhelp based on V7 and the Premium Pack Modern Standard Webhelp skin and looks great. One question however. Is there some way to include the breadcrumbs line when someone uses the print button? It would prov...

I have had to make major changes to my documentation to support product branding. That included the use of several <%variables%> in text that is part of our product syntax. I had been using a Custom Highlighter to quickly format syntax in instructions and examples. Now I find that the document is br...

I have a Text Variable that I use throughout my Project. Since it is clearly possible to pull things like the Title from the project at the time Web Help is generated is there a way to reference one of my own project text variables. I'm not expecting it to change value when switching topics just pic...
