RoboHELP provides an automated feature that generates source files and saves them as HTML files in your project folder. You distribute these source files to your users. You can use WebHelp output files for application Help, standalone projects, or online documents.
Open the project containing the files you want to use to generate WebHelp.
Do one of the following:
From the File menu, select Generate - WebHelp.
From the Project Manager, open the Single Source folder. Right-click on WebHelp, and select Generate.
A default location is given
for the output folder. If you want to choose a different location for the
output folder, click the browse button and navigate to
a new drive/folder.
Tip: You can assign a start topic to your WebHelp system. The start topic is the topic that is displayed in the right-hand viewing pane whenever the Help system opens. For more info, see Assigning start topics.
Click Next to proceed through the Wizard screens.
WARNING! Each time you generate new WebHelp source files, RoboHELP empties the WebHelp output folder. All subfolders and files below the output folder are deleted. Assure that your WebHelp output folder does not contain items that you do not want deleted.
Click Finish when you get to the end of the Wizard prompts.
Note: If the HTML files use spaces in the file names, the WebHelp copies that are saved in the output folder replace the spaces with underscores to make them compatible with Netscape Navigator.
