(27kb) Gerry Palmer in Technical Support, created a great application for you to download. HHP Builder creates an hhp file by scanning the selected folder and its sub-folders for htm and html files. It will also scan the folders for files with a .hhc, .hhk, .glo, .ali, and .brs extensions adding references to these files to your .hhp file. If no .hhc and .hhk file are found it will create empty files and reference the newly created .hhc and the .hhk file names. This is a great utility if you have a large amount of files that you would like to import into RoboHelp but would rather not go through the process of importing one folder at a time.

(55kb) Gerry Palmer in technical support has created another useful utility for download! AutoMap is a utility designed to automate the process of creating map numbers and aliases for your RoboHelp HTML projects. It scans your current hhp file for your htm and html file names, creates a Topic ID based on this file name, and then assigns it a map number. For files that have the same name but exist in different folders, Automap appends a number to the end of the Topic ID.

(34kb) Gerry Palmer in Technical Support, has created yet another application to help you with your authoring. When generating HTML Help with a build expression, the compiled HTML Help file (.chm) may contain undesired topics outside of the build expression parameters. This occurs when topics inside the build parameters contain hyperlinks to topics outside the build. The HTML Help Compiler will include any topics referenced by these hyperlinks. BldRepair is a help utility designed to remove any hyperlinks to topics not within the build expression parameters, thus eliminating any undesired topics included in the .chm file.

(31kb) Gerry Palmer in Technical Support has created another small application for HTML Help Authors. Often when importing files into RoboHelp you may find that some of your HTML file names have invalid characters in them. As you may already know, this may cause several problems within RoboHelp or cause your generated help to function improperly. This utility goes through your help project finds all invalid file names, renames these files, and then updates all links. At this point Rename will not remove invalid characters from your folder names, you must do this manually within RoboHelp. Rename is simply a quick fix for what be a very lengthy process.
