HX skin when inserted in H&M?

Unread post by Martin Wynne »

When publishing directly from HX it is possible to choose a skin for the Xplain, and the skin choice is saved in the .xplain file.

When inserting an Xplain in H&M (Insert Media), the choice of skin is ignored and only the default skin is available.

Unless I'm missing something?

cheers,

Martin.

Hi Martin,

The skin reference is saved in the .xplain file. When you insert this Xplain in Help+Manual, it is exported with the skin you had assigned to it in HelpXplain.

Thanks Alexander.

That wasn't happening in build 4710, but now in 4711 it is working fine. Thanks.

cheers,

Martin.

While using this method the share button of the "Default skins" is not displayed in the *.chm. Only when using the "Slide Thumbnails" skin.
Is that a known bug? Any workarounds?

Help+Manual removes the share buttons for CHM and eBook compilation. To share an Xplain it has to have a public web address. There's nothing to share from inside a CHM file.
