Options dialog - HTML Editors tab

Use the HTML Editors tab to add new editors, change the name of editors (as the names appear in the Edit With and Edit New Topic With menus), set the paths for editors, and set up the default editor or Auto Select Editors. When you install an HTML editor on your computer that RoboHELP supports and then open RoboHELP, the editor is automatically added to this list. Otherwise, RoboHELP attempts to find unsupported editors, but may not find them all. In this case you can add it to the list manually.

Name: Displays the name of the HTML editors installed on your computer. However, if you uninstall an editor, RoboHELP does not detect that it's been removed. You need to select it and click Remove to remove it from RoboHELP's list.

Path: Displays the location of the editor on your computer. If you change where an editor is located, you need to type in the new the path here.

Default: Displays which editor is set as the default. The word Yes appears on the same line as the default editor.

Add: Allows you to add an editor to the list of known editors. RoboHELP attempts to add unknown editors to the list when you install an editor, but you need to check the list to see if it was added.

Remove: Allows you to remove an editor from the list of supported editors. Removing an editor from this dialog also removes it from the drop-down menu. Also, when the dialog is closed, the editor is removed from the Auto Select Editor Settings dialog. The META/GENERATOR tag remains in the list but is associated with a different editor. (Removing an editor from the list does not remove the software.)

Set Name: Allows you to change editor names. This is the name that appears in the RoboHELP user interface when you select Edit With or New Topic With.

Set Path: Allows you to enter or browse to the location of editors on your computer. RoboHELP uses this path to launch the editor.

Set As Default: Allows you to set an editor as the default. The default editor opens whenever you create a new topic, unless you specify otherwise in the Edit With or New Topic With. (To open all existing topics with the default editor, make sure to click the Use Default Editor radio button in this dialog.) When you scroll to the right of the line you should see Yes in the Default column.

Auto Select button: Opens the Auto Select Editor Settings dialog. (You cannot access this button if Use Default Editor is selected.)

Auto Select Editor: Specifies that topics open in the editor associated with the file. RoboHELP detects which editor created the file by reading the META/GENERATOR tag within the file and by looking for the editor associated with this tag in the Auto Select Editor list.

Use Default Editor: Specifies that topics always open in the editor you've specified as the default, regardless of any associations you've set up in the Auto Select Editor Settings dialog.
