Context-sensitive Help
Last updated 12/14/2011
•
By default, the application assigns the topic title or filename as the topic ID and assigns a map number.
•
Auto-generating map IDs is available when you select <Project Map File> or a custom map file. If you auto-map a
map ID and do not select a map file, the map ID resides in the default map file (BSSCDefault.h).
•
You cannot assign multiple topics to a map ID. You can assign multiple map IDs to one topic.
Assign a map ID to a topic
Note:
RoboHelp also supports dynamic context-sensitive mapping of dialog boxes and topics. This approach eliminates
the need for technical authors to manually keep track of map IDs. See “
Dynamic editing of context-sensitive topics
