Inserting htm page in HTML
My colleague has created a flow chart in Visio and exported it to htm format.
I've used H+M to create our HTML intranet.
Can I integrate his pages into the intranet? The pages have links.
Thanks

Hi Gareth,
If you have access to the file you can merge it into one of your own topic pages with the #MERGE command in a code object. See here for instructions (Inserting online and external HTML files with a code object):

Is there a problem using HTM pages?

Re: Inserting htm page in HTML
The function is explicitly for HTML pages. However, as explained in the documentation, it will merge in the entire page, including the <head> section with all of its references. In some cases this can cause problems, since it will be inserting one page inside another page. If that happens it is probably better just to use an Internet link to the online version of the page. Or import it at design time, using the Project > Manage Topics > File: Import File function, which you can also use for HTML files.

Re: Inserting htm page in HTML
FYI Visio can export SVG images of pages, but I'm not sure H+M can import them faithfully. It's worth a try though:
- It's easier than MERGE.
- You can see the image in the editor.
- It works in all output formats.

Re: Inserting htm page in HTML
I was told MS Visios SVG contains MS specific extensions and I have yet to find a Visio SVG that imports correctly. Not HMs fault though..

Re: "I have yet to find a Visio SVG that imports correctly. Not HMs fault though."
It might be fixable.
@Tim I've sent you an example Visio SVG that H+M doesn't import correctly.
@Gerold Krommer perhaps you could send example(s) too...

Re: Inserting htm page in HTML
Maybe you should send a failing file to Tim for checking. Alexander found the problem in the sample I sent him, perhaps yours is related?Gerold Krommer wrote: ↑Tue Jul 27, 2021 8:59 pm I was told MS Visios SVG contains MS specific extensions and I have yet to find a Visio SVG that imports correctly.

Re: Inserting htm page in HTML
That would be helpful. Visio apparently does some things that are at least not very common in SVG, and it also adds some of its own features, which are naturally problematic. In the first example we received the problem was actually not the SVG code as such, but an embedded PNG image.Simon_Dismore wrote: ↑Wed Jul 28, 2021 6:13 pm Maybe you should send a failing file to Tim for checking.

Re: Inserting htm page in HTML
Here is H&M 8.4.0 Build 5870 (Release Candidate):
https://www.helpandmanual.com/download/ ... p-v840.exe
The changes regarding SVG images are:
https://www.helpandmanual.com/download/ ... p-v840.exe
The changes regarding SVG images are:
- Images from MS Visio often include embedded image data. If that image data was faulty, this triggered an internal error in the load function and the XML parser stopped parsing the SVG XML tree. This problem has been fixed and just the element containing invalid image data is void, but the rest of the SVG is parsed normally.
- Embedded image data in SVGs produced a lot of small temporary files which were not cleaned up. This bug is fixed as well, the temp files are cleaned up when Help+Manual closes
