Updated Webhelp for GExperts available

[dummzeuch 1529]

@Jim McKeeth has updated the GExperts documentation a bit. It’s far from finished but that’s better than the totally outdated one on gexperts.org.
I have now exported it as webhelp and checked it in to subversion. You can read it at my newly created domain help.gexperts.de.

 

(The domain is temporary only for now. I got it cheap but I’m not sure I will keep it.)

That's correct, there isn't any.

Will; it be possible to make a PDF from your help site?

There are conversions from HTML to PDF out there

PDF is not very good for documentation, CHM is the best!

Unfortunately I just found that Webhelp as single export and Webhelp as part of a batch export are different. No idea why.

Works fine here:

I downloaded the file form that link, saved it to the default download folder and opened it with a double click. I got two warnings regarding "unsafe" file from the internet and then it simply showed its content.

 

Since I have no idea how these files/the viewer works, I can't say what the problem on your side might be.

Possible solution from here: https://helpman.it-authoring.com/viewtopic.php?t=16333

Add this line to the template:

 <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />

Hm, interesting. I found no way to actually configure this in Help and Manual. But when resetting some options to the default, this line was inserted automatically. Previously there was a line

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />

Which I could also find nowhere. It was probably inserted automatically.

I have just committed a new .chm file. Try if it works for you.

Hmm.  Downloaded OK, Opened OK.

Left Pane works fine, nothing shows in the main pane. 😞

Ah Ha!  Tks.  All good now.

Never heard of the 'unblock' 'feature'...

OT

All the files downloaded from iInternet are "blocked", this means that some features of the file cannot works.

To unblock them use what @dummzeuch said.

 

Other method is run a powershell script:

 

UnBlock-File

Ref.: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.utility/unblock-file?view=powershell-7.4

 

I use this to remove all block signs in every file of the present directory and sub folders (form PowerShell command):

dir .\ -Recurse -Force | Unblock-File

Your link text and its URL do not match:

P.S My CHM works. I guess it is from 4/22

Thanks, fixed. The forum software inserted that link automatically and when I changed the text the link didn't get updated.
