A page in my toc has an http:// address ending in "default.asp?VID=63"

When I generate webhelp, clicking the toc page displays the content. When I generate html5 using the same toc, the page link does not work. In that case, the "?VID=63" has been omitted from the address ...

Thank you for the clarification Dave.

I'm using WebHelp output. Withn the skin, the Hide Navigation Pane on Startup check box is not selected and the Show navigation link at top of topic is selected. When the startup topic is accessed, as expected the navigation pane displays and the show navigation link within the topic does not. When ...

I have a header file with "define" values not equal to those in the alias file. When I add a new row to teh alias file and associate it with the correct header file, it is appended to the header file. However, entries already in the alias file (which indicate the same header file) do not appear in ...

Thank you.

Our source control is team foundation server. Within a project, when the authors check out a file we choose to lock them so as to avoid having to merge (if necessary) later on. The project (A) also imports (auto before generating output) from another project (B). After generating the output the ...

I inherited a project. Suffice it to say the previous author did not clean house. Upon generating the unused items report, I note numerous files in each category. What puzzles me though is that many items in certain sections, such as the "Unused Content Files" section of the report, are "used ...

The "double-post" is merely because I posted in the general section and then realized that the post would be more appropriate in the webhelp section. Perhaps I should have deleted the post (I'm not even sure if I have that functionality) in the general forum. Please accept my sincere apology for any ...

When I generate my project to a WebHelp target, if I search for "meeting AND provided" (no quotes) a topic is returned that contains the words "meeting" and "provides". I would like to exclude the topic entirely because "provides" is not exactly the same as "provided". How can I do this? Thanks in ...

Thanks Lisa. I figured it was simple. Sometimes it's hard to see the forest through the trees I suppose. Again, thank you.

I am generating WebHelp and understand that wild cards are not supported when a user conducts a search. I note that when a particular string is entered, a topic is not found (regardless of the whether or not the text is inline with the topic or meta text entered in the description field). For ...

I'm a Flare newbie, so please excuse my ignorance. I know with RH when generating output one can specify whether or not to include a "show / hide" (or other text with same functionality) which was useful when users entered the WebHelp from a non-start page as opposed to the start page.

With Flare ...

Thank you Kellie and Lisa.

Has anyone used Flare to create webhelp output that you consider a "knowledge base"? If so, what distinguished the knowledge base from the regular Search panel?

You are correct. The "Include "Stop-Words" in Search" check box was not selected. Selecting this check box is achieving the desirable result. Thank you once again.

You are correct. The default mc-breadcrumbs-count was set at 3. I have increased the number and the issue has been resolved. Thank you very much.

Issue: I've created a master page to display breadcrumbs at the top of the page. The output appears (sample) as follows: You are here: General > System Parameters > Facility > CP From Last Submitted

Issue: when searching for text within the search panel, no topics are found when I include more than two words within quotation marks or combine boolean operators. For example, if the topic text reads "the quick brown fox ...
