Re: Turning off collapsible sections in wehbelp

I'm hoping that maybe using the :not() pseudo-class in conjunction with setting webhelp.topic.collapsible.elements.initial.state to collapsed might help make all the elements that don't have styling from the .my_collapsible class start in an expanded state. Am I fooling myself or is something like t...

Re: Turning off collapsible sections in wehbelp

Quick update, this CSS amateur made a little bit of progress. section.my_collapsible > h3 > .wh_expand_btn { display: block !important; padding-right: 0.7em !important; } This bit of CSS brings back the collapsible buttons for the elements I want, so that's a step in the right direction. Two puzzles...

Re: Turning off collapsible sections in wehbelp

Okay so I'm still struggling with this. Maybe if I write down what I'm trying to do it'll trigger an aha moment for me or for someone generous enough to nudge me toward aha... I want none of my WebHelp output topics (HTML) to have collapsible sections except for a few that get transformed from speci...

Re: Keeping Publication TOCs of various WebHelp guides separate

Thanks very much, chrispitude. These *.publication.toc.* parameters don't quite give me what I want, at least not how I've been trying to use them. I have a product called MyCoolProduct. It has documentation in the form of a User Guide and a Sysadmin Guide. The User Guide's TOC needs to look somethi...

Re: Turning off collapsible sections in wehbelp

The first thing I noticed is that when I set the webhelp.topic.collapsible.elements.initial.state parameter to collapsed, almost every section on every output topic page starts in a collapsed state (only headings are displayed). The sections that I want to be collapsible/expandable (starting in a co...

Any insights on iiRDS and DITA?

Are they competing architectures? Would someone using DITA be well advised to not add an extra layer of IA complexity by trying to also incorporate iiRDS? Thanks for any insights.

Hi, I searched for this in the forums but couldn't find anything. The ditamap for my WebHelp Responsive transformation references ditamaps from several different but related guides.

Is there a solution for this? I also would like the Publication TOC and Topic TOC to remain "sticky" on all topic pages (i.e. not scroll at all).

Hi, My documentation set has four tiles on the main page. Right now the way they render in the output displays three of the tiles on one row and the fourth on a row beneath. I'd like to even up their distribution. Is it possible to configure tiles so there are two on each of two rows? Some kind of t...

Works like a charm, thanks very much! I ended up suppressing the display of all elements that use the wh_expand_btn class.

Re: Markdown and form controls

Hi Radu, thanks for the reply. Here's my story, probably rather typical.

I want some of my coworkers to use Oxygen-based forms for creating their content in a standardized way. They balk at DITA or XML in general, insist upon using Markdown.

I guess I'll have to try another approach. Thanks.
