I use the styles Topic Text Bulleted and Topic Text Numbered that come with
the RoboHELP templates and they seem to work. There was a problem with
early versions of RoboHELP 4 where the leading between items in lists was
strange, but once I convinced them it was a real problem, they sent me a
patch that seems to be working fine.
I don't know about converting to UNIX help; maybe someone else here has
done that?
