Is there a way i nthe robohelp packager to add comments to a specific/singular robohelp topic? I see that you can add general comments and they seem to show as desired in the xml file, but not attached to a single topic when the user retrieves that topic – can this be done? Am I doing something wrong?

I’m probably the wrong person to ask. I haven’t done anything with AIR help since I did these critiques, so I can’t troubleshoot. Sorry! I saw that you posted to the RoboHelp forums, and that (or the AIR help forum if there is one) is probably better than anywhere else to get answers.

hello,
any issues with topics? I mean:

“I used the RoboHelp Packager for AIR on a WebHelp file created RoboHelp 7. The WebHelp file works fine. However, when I open the AIR version, some or many of the individual help topics do not display. All of the TOC entries are present. And, all the files display correctly when I use the Preview function.”

Thanks.

Unfortunately, from what I remember, I think the RoboHelp AIR documentation was a bit lacking. But the help for RoboHelp leaves something to be desired, as well, an irony recognized by many a RoboHelp forum user. I haven’t done anything with the packager since this post, so I apologize that I can’t direct you to anything that would help you.

“…so far, AIR help supports only C/C++, Flex, and AIR applications”

While I have found some information about the C++ CSH API, so far I have been unable to locate any documentation on the Flex or AIR help calls.

[...] agree with most of Ben Minson’s takes on ADBE AIR: Adobe seems to be following a good line of thinking here with AIR help. But remember, users want [...]
