HTML TOC

[roborat]

Not sure if this has been asked before... tried searching and seeking, but could not find another post.

Is there a way to have the chm toc "books" open when the chm is opened? In other words, without having to click or double-click on the icons to see what is there? I thought there was a setting to do this, could have sworn I saw it somewhere, but I cannot find anything in the Target or Skin so far.

Thanks in advance for your help!

I was looking for this same answer. I have not been able to find anyway to do this, yet.
One of our CHM files opens automatically after an MSI install - since this topic is not the first in the set I wanted to have the ToC expanded to show where in the help it was.
Has anyone stumbled across an answer to this yet?

In the Skin editor, there is an option to Automatically Synchronize the TOC. this should open the TOC to the correct section of the page you are opening (using CSH, right?).

i don't think there's an option to expand all the books on startup. submit a feature request - https://www.madcapsoftware.com/bugs/submit.aspx

I am not sure if there is a way to expand all books using HTML Workshop. It may be worthwhile tinkering around with that. I don't know why only a few of the options for the compiler are exposed in Flare.

This is a limitation of the chm. It's not possible to have all items open

The request was to have all books open, not all items, but not sure if that makes a difference.

Still can't happen. It's a limitation of the CYM viewer. ;(
