If you want to take advantage of RoboHELP's advanced online Help features but prefer to edit your content using another HTML editor, you can now use RoboHELP for both.* RoboHELP supports a variety of commonly used editors and can support other HTML editors installed on your computer as well.
You can set a default HTML editor to open with every file, or RoboHELP can detect which editor the file was created. Here's more information and examples on these two choices:
Using one editor: Specify one editor as the default so that any topic you import, open, or create in your RoboHELP project opens in the specified editor. This is useful if you always want to edit or create topics in a specific editor. The default editor is used for all topics, even existing or imported topics created with a different editor. Just make sure Use Default Editor is selected in the HTML Editors dialog.
Detecting the editor: You can set RoboHELP to automatically open the editor with which the file was created (providing it's installed on your computer). RoboHELP can detect which editor the file was created with and launch the appropriate editor. New topics are still created in the default editor unless you right-click on the topic in the Project Manager and select New Topic With.
In addition to RoboHELP's powerful WYSIWYG and TrueCode editors, RoboHELP supports these commonly used editors:
Note: You can also customize RoboHELP to use any other HTML editor you want to use. For information about supported and unsupported editors, see Adding or changing HTML editors.
*Warning: You must close files in non-RoboHELP editors before using certain functions in your RoboHELP project. For more information, see Using RoboHELP features with other HTML editors.
