Help & Manual Forums

Max, From your description I'm not entirely sure what your problem is, but here's some background informatin that may help: The Editor View is always displayed by default, that is just the tab that is displayed when you open. The Help File View is not only for HTML, it is for all "non-print&quo...

John, Martin, I have some good news: A MOTW-option is going to be included in the final release of Help & Manual 4.2. It has been made very simple to implement, is activated by default and works almost transparently. It is realized with a check box option called [x] Enable local testing for Inte...

Robert, This "fix" does not work with the latest Release version of IE7. Thanks for reporting this. This is already a known issue -- the problem is the Registry keys/values necessary for fixing it in IE7 are not yet known. Hopefully there are some; HHReg will be updated as soon as the info...

Martin, I must say that I agree that it would be a good idea. The yellow warning bar in IE is supposed to be a security feature but since MOTW exists it makes any security provided null and void. For a hacker, getting around this "security feature" is about as difficult as breaking into a ...

Hi Martin, In that case, may I suggest that the toggle ID field be moved from top-left in the dialog to somewhere less prominent, such as a bottom corner? The usual instinct is to work across a dialog left to right and down, as a text page. That's a very good point. Alternatively a "Let me ente...

Hi Martin, Alternatively, a button in the topic header to "Expand all toggles" would be useful, not only prior to printing. See Basic Working Procedures - Toggles - Expand All / Collapse All in the help for details. 8) But there is one issue which needs looking at -- printing a topic from ...

Hi Martin, Glad to hear you like it! Developing the code for the toggles took such a long time because of Internet Explorer -- it was very, very difficult to find a solution that would work in all standards-compliant browsers and IE (including IE7) and HTML Help without silly hacks. And that was the...

Hi John, 1) Is it possible to scale down i.e. "zoom" the full sized image via the Insert Toggle dialogue box? No, you're responsible for that at the moment but it's an interesting suggestion. If it used the same scaling functions as are implemented for normal images then the expanded image...

Hi Dmitry, Does this apply to Russian text in the Table of Contents? Is there nothing else I can try? No, Russian text should work there. The Release Candidate 1 of H&M Version 4.2 is going to be released over the weekend. I suggest you give it a try with that -- although all our other Russian u...

Pete,

Thanks a lot for posting this, that's very useful!

Hi Tina, I will definitely wait for the new expandable topics. I'm anxious to see these as I think it will make my life a lot easier. Note that you must have the Pro version of Help & Manual to use these new features. They won't be available in the Standard version. As for the printing, I actual...

Tina, Printing in CHMs does not work in the old non-scrolling header because the CHM gags on the DIVs that they contain. This has been solved in the new version of the non-scrolling header that was posted on the forum some time ago. Please see these topics for details: Version for using in your own ...

Hi Max, Would it help you when I send you the minimal project (just with the problem)? I have a backup were the problem still occur! Maybe you could find out the problem when you have the project sources?! Yes, that would be very helpful. Just pack the .HMX file in a zip archive, without any graphic...

Nailim, It looks like copy/paste of conditional text tags is not always working. If you paste them everything looks great but if you compile it you will receive the same result like in my first post (description PDF Output screenshot). Thanks for reporting this, we'll check it out! By the way, laste...

Robert,

I would say this is a minor cosmetic bug. Since it's in the Bug Reports section you can be sure that the EC developers have seen it. I'm sending them an additional mail just to make sure.
