Re: Editing a WebHelp skin:
Hi Tansy, Instead of deleting things, which can cause errors, it is better to just prevent it from being displayed and activated. Edit the skin (not your project!) in Help+Manual and go down to Configuration > Publishing > WebHelp > Layout. In the code editor, locate this block of code further down:...

Re: Best way to handle a composite manual?
Hi Chris, The Title property is down in common properties... frequently we forget to change this before publishing, so we publish a Tutorials manual with the "Admin Guide" title on the titlepage etc. How can we set the title by either build tags or table of content selection? I would sugge...

Re: How to find where styles are used?
Hi Dexter, There isn't any function to show you where specific styles are used, unfortunately. However, you can achieve this quite easily with any code editor (like Notepad++ or Visual Studio Code, both of which are free and excellent) that can search through multiple files. Just search through all ...

Re: Cannot find dead anchor link!
Hi Laini, The easiest way to find things like this is to open the topic file or snippet file affected and then select the XML editor tab on the left of the main editor window. Click in the XML code to activate the XML editor, then press CTRL+F to search and you can then search for things like anchor...

Re: SnipSVG
Hi Tim, We're going to open up a separate forum section after the release. Until then, posting here is fine. Is there going to be a way to obfuscate. pixelate, or blur a small area of a screen shot? Or have I not yet searched for the right word to describe this? This is not only already there, it is...

Re: How can I set the spotlight size for a presentation uniformly?
Hi Tolzmann, You can't globally set the size of an element in multiple slides like that, but here are two tips that may help: You can copy and paste a spotlight just like any other element, so you can clone it to other slides, along with any attributes and its animation. If you use the Chain animati...

Hi Martin, There is definitely something wrong here. Please mail me a demo project to support AT ec-software.com (replace the AT with @) with some sample topics that reproduce the issue. You can create this project as follows: 1: Select Save As.. in the File menu and save the project in the single-...

Re: Improvements for adding links to other topics
Hi Marc,
Thanks for your suggestions, which I'm passing on to our developers. Note that we get a lot of suggestions (most of them by email) and there is a very long list of things that may or may not be implemented, so we can't promise if and when something will actually turn up in the program.

Re: Configuring Several Tables
Hi "Jakerola", I just checked this and in the current version 9 Help+Manual definitely does import a CSS class with a table, and if you define that class in your table styles in Write > Styles > Edit Styles it will definitely be used. The style settings for tables are pretty basic, however...

Re: Inaccessible chapters and snippets are also included in the search
Hi Martin, It will just be a coincidence that this is happening with your new update. It has nothing to do with any change in Help+Manual. There are several possible reasons for this, which may also be combined. First, the special case of your snippet files, which is also covered in 2) below: You mu...

Re: Condtional text in the first list item
Hi Anti, Unfortunately, Marc's solution is currently the only workaround for this. Because of the way both lists and IFDEF tags work, they are not compatible with each other when they are in such close proximity. The IF tag needs to be in the previous paragraph and should also have a space directly ...
