Use the Auto Select Editor Settings dialog when you want to use a specific HTML editor to open your topics. You associate the desired editor with a META/GENERATOR tag on this screen.
You can use the Auto Select Editor feature in two ways:
You can associate an editor with its own META/GENERATOR tag so that RoboHELP can automatically open topics with the editor that created them. (RoboHELP determines which editor to launch by checking the META/GENERATOR tag in the file.) In this dialog, you can use the associations supplied in RoboHELP, or you can create more complex associations by changing them or adding your own.
You can associate an editor with any META/GENERATOR tag - one that RoboHELP supplies or a new one that you add. In this case you add the META/GENERATOR tag to this dialog and associate the editor with it.
Associated Editor: Displays the HTML editors installed on your computer that RoboHELP has detected or you have added to the HTML Editors dialog.
Generator Tag: Displays the META/GENERATOR tag associated with each HTML editor.
There are three special-case values in the Generator Tag column. You can change the editor but you cannot change the META/GENERATOR tag or remove them:
<None> The editor associated with this item is used for files with no META/GENERATOR tag.
<Unknown> The editor associated with this item is used for files with META/GENERATOR tags not in the Auto Select HTML Editors list.
<RoboHELP> The editor associated with this item is used for files created with all versions of RoboHELP.
Add: Allows you to add an association between an editor and a META/GENERATOR tag.
Remove: Allows you to remove an association between an editor and a META/GENERATOR tag. Clicking this button removes the entire line.
Set Editor: Displays the editors that appear in the HTML Editors dialog. This option allows you to change which editor is associated with a META/GENERATOR tag.
Set Tag: Allows you to modify an association between a META/GENERATOR tag and an editor by either typing a META/GENERATOR in the field or by browsing for an HTML file that contains the META/GENERATOR tag you want to use. RoboHELP finds the file's META/GENERATOR tag and displays it in the list.
Note: It is important that all editors are associated with a META/GENERATOR tag. If your editor doesn't have a META/GENERATOR tag, associate it with <None>.
