Subject:Re: Robohelp HTML and Netscape 4.5 From:Char James-Tanny <CharJT -at- helpstuff -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Wed, 28 Nov 2001 09:44:40 -0500
Hi, Kim :-)
It's been ages since I've worked with Netscape 4.5, but I've got something for you
to try.
RoboHelp HTML includes a lot of extra P tags (for example, around content in
tables). Try modifying the Netscape CSS in the WebHelp folder by changing the
margin-bottom and margin-top properties for P to 0. (My test case shows 9 pt, but I
could have set that...I don't remember.) If 0 is too small, try 4 pt.
If this works, copy the Netscape CSS to a safe place and then copy it every time
you generate the WebHelp.
