Auto-TOC Glyphs

Unread post by Olivier Beltrami »

Hi,

I just discovered Auto-TOCs and I am blown away !
I implemented it in less than 5 minutes and it works great. Wow !

Just one detail, how can I change the glyphs used, to look like the PP help ?

Very best regards,

Olivier

Hi Olivier,

It's not quite clear what you are asking here: Do you want the icons shown in the CHM help in WebHelp or the icons shown in WebHelp in the CHM help? 8)

Hi Tim,

Do you ever sleep ? :shock:

Yes, I would like the icons shown in the CHM help in my WebHelp (which uses the Flat_Blue_Diamond_WebHelp.hmskin). Or, at least, I'd like to know how to change the default "checkmarks" which are beautiful, but seem odd in a navigation list.

Very best regards,

Olivier

PS: There is a rogue HTML code in the Flat_Blue_Diamond_WebHelp.hmskin in the ATOC_TIP string where the   appears as is in the tooltip (it even affects the H&M online help at https://www.helpandmanual.com/help/index.html, as can be seen below).

You can't use the icons from CHM skins because most of the "icons" in the V3 skins interface are not icons at all, but little snippets of SVG vector image code called "SVG sprites". (Also, those icons wouldn't really match well in WebHelp interface of those skins.)

What you can do is find appropriate single-color SVG icons of your own and extract the code and insert it in the skin. The sprite code is in a baggage file to make it easily accessible and editable. Instructions here:

Open the Auto-TOC variables group on Toolbox and activate the HTML checkbox for the ATOC_TIP variable. That will fix it. The problem was that the HTML entity was being rendered as text because the variable was not set to HTML.
