Title: Netscape Tables Fix

Last Revision: 23APR02

Info

RoboHelp version 9 generates HTML code that is not entirely compatible with Netscape. The result is that tables and text within or associated with tables are displayed overlapping and rendered unreadable. This procedure fixes this problem by removing the errant code.

STEP

ACTION

1

Generate, save, and compile the manual in the prescribed manner.

2

Back up the manual either in a director located off the local drive or on CD

3

Copy the "WebHelp" directory contents to the "opman" directory on the web site

\\samba-gb\GBTopsdocs

4

Click on the "tools" tab on the bottom of the index window of the RoboHelp display.

5

Double click on the "Multi-File Find and Replace" tool.

6

Navigate to the web directory containing the Operations Manual in the navigation pane on the left side of the tool.

7

Type "*.htm" in the filter field and click "Filter" This will narrow the number of files down to just the HTML files.

8

Select ALL the HTML files and click ADD on the right. This will copy the file names to the pane named "Target Files and Directories:"

9

In the "Find:" pane of the "Multi-File Find and Replace" tool type "<p style="margin-bottom: 0;">

10

In the "Replace:" pane of the "Multi-File Find and Replace" tool type "<p>"

11

Click the Start button on the right. The tool will search through the files and list the number of instances in each file for the text you are searching for and show a total number. Click "OK".

12

Click on "Replace All" on the right to fix the code.
