Re: Mouse wheel scrolling on hover

Hi Ron,

This is a Windows setting on your system:

Works fine in HM8 if you undock the various panels.

cheers,

Re: Adding space at the top of hmpagebody_scroller

Hi Olivier,

Try adding

Code: Select all

div#hmpagebody_scroller {
padding-top: 1.5rem !important;
}
after the existing settings.

Any subsequent inline changes will then be ignored.

cheers,

Martin.

Re: <TITLE> Tag Value Ignored by Responsive WebHelp Flat Blue Skin

Hi Olivier, Don't forget that you can always do your own thing in the HTML-based formats such as Webhelp. For example if you insert an HTML Code Object in the topic, containing: <script> document.title="London Bridge is for sale"; </script> you can change the title in the tab to whatever y...

Re: Insert pdf files

One of the problems with EMFs has been that programs that create them tend to follow the specifications in different ways. The same applies to WMFs, but to a lesser extend. Because of this their use can be a little hit and miss. This is also the reason that using them in HM can sometimes fail, if t...

Re: Insert pdf files

Do you know of a program that converts multi-page pdfs into separate emf files? Hi Javier, Yes, I use this one which does that (for Windows 10): http://www.win10pdf.com/pdf-converter.html On a hi-res screen you will probably want to change the compatibility settings on the executable to DPI-aware, ...

Re: Insert pdf files

I would like to know if it is possible that the program inserted pdf files where indicated. To export to pdf from helpandmanual. It is a latex utility and it is very useful to insert pdfs from manufacturers without having to do it by hand and with the page numbering of our document. Hi Javier, Is t...

Re: Page Icons in PDF Cross References

Another solution would be to put sufficient leading zeroes on the page number. Its width would then be known at compile time -- most fonts are constant-width for the numeric characters. I don't see any great difficulty with a link to page 0042, for example. I suggested this change years ago. Worth p...

Re: Best practices - recommended max. size of project?

The very extensive H+M 8 help file -- doubtless dwarfing our efforts: is all of this material produced from a single project? Hi Dave, The manual from HM6 is available as one of the example projects. It's at: C:\Users\user_name\Documents\My HelpAndManual Projects\Examples\HelpAndManual6\HELPMAN6.hm...

Re: Minor version control pickle

Hi Dave,

Try deleting the path, leave it empty:

hm8_svn.png

Ticking or unticking the tickboxes seems to have no effect.

Also the message is a bit odd. I'm not in the habit of changing anything anywhere unless I need to.

cheers,

Martin.

Re: Execute Link in a New Window?

When editing a Snippet, currently, I Right Click the Snippet and it takes me to the original text, but it shoots me down the Project Folder. Is there a way to open the Execute Link in a New Window so that I don't need to re-locate the Topic I was originally editing? Hi Dale, After opening the snipp...

Hi John, I use a conditional IF NEVER string for that sort of thing. For example: IF NEVER %%abc!! ENDIF Make the searchable string something which would never appear in any normal text.

Hi Dave, This seems to be working ok. I have tested it using the V2 SlateGrey skin in Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer.

A mere 110 or so (and growing); they contain a single iframe.
Hi Dave,

Only one per topic? That makes it a lot easier. Time here for a meal now, I will get back to you later.
