Interaction of styles with PDF template fonts
In the Print Manual Designer, you can set the font attributes for any of the variables. How do these settings interact with the settings in the Print File View dialog in H&M4's dynamic styles? I am concerned primarily with the settings for the HEADING variables in the bands on the topics page. D...

Putting version numbers in print/PDF output
I am learning Hmdesigner to see if I can adapt the print templates to our existing PDF manual format. We always put the version number of the software on the cover page, title page, and in the footer. The version number varies from module to module (not my fault - I'm just the scribe!), so I can't p...

Hi Alexander, I have tried out the current conditional text functions, which I agree are powerful tools. I am suggesting an additional method based on styles, which I would find easier to use and would serve my purposes in most cases. Once I had added a couple of include/exclude styles to my standar...

Indicate include/exclude in styles
Now that H&M has dynamic styles, I suggest adding a checkbox to the optional Help/Print File Views dialogs that would include/exclude text of that style from the respective builds. For example, I create a style that I use to format links to external popups or external web pages. (e.g., "Cli...

I was afraid you were going to say that... Unfortunately, in the info architecture for this topic, it makes sense to have all the child topics be external popups in CHM but printed in PDF. They are field descriptions called up by clicking hotspots on a screen image. The parent topic contains intro t...

Tim, That is indeed a neat way to deal with it. Thanks for the quick reply. In general, I've been impressed by the forum: your quick replies and the intelligent input from the other members. You've also done a good job on the on-line help, which I've used a lot since downloading the evaluation versi...

Hide popup topics in Help, show them in PDF
Hello, I am evaluating H&M4, and so far it looks very promising. One thing I would like to be able to do is to create topics that appear in an external window in online help (and therefore do not show up in the TOC), but do show up in the PDF file. They can't be invisible topics because I want t...
