Robohelp X5 HTML Help Master books - difficulties in the beginning

[Bernd Hutschenreuther <Bernd -dot- Hutschenreuther -at- net-linx -dot- com>]

Hi,

we are using now Robohelp X5, after using Robohelp 9.1
There was a strange behavior when I generated the HTML Help in a master 
project containing several topics and several chm files.
When I started, I found, that the heading structure was mismatched.

At least I found a work around.

1. I must have a main folder
2. Only chm files can be merged in the main project file.
3. There mus be a html file to form a heading level in the resulting project.

So the structure is following:

Main Folder
  Heading File 1.html (this will appear as new subfolder in the main 
folder, the file may be without text, if you include text, the text appears 
when you click on the subfolder sign. The following files file 1...file3 
are included.)
  File1.chm
  File2.chm
  File3.chm
  Heading File2.html (This will appear as new Subfolder in the Main Folder.)
  File4.chm
  File5.chm

In this case, the master book has a main folder and two subfolders, 
containing the related file structures of File1.chm ...File 3.chm .

This is strange, because the Online Help of Robohelp says, you can include 
the Files into the master book. It does not say, you have to include  extra 
text html files and consider special formats. It does not say that html 
files form headings.

The target project is stored in a folder named !ssl! .

I found, that I have to delete or empty this before book creation. When old 
files are in this folder,they will not be updated properly, and I got 
strange and unexpected results with mismatched structures.

Is there any way to empty the output folder automatically?
I only by accident found that the CHM files in the output folder are not 
updated, after you update them in the input folder.

I searched in the TECHWR-L Data base and did not find a description. So I 
wanted to tell you about the problem.

Best regards
Bernd
