Easier Dr. Explain to Help & Manual #1 of ?

The default Dr. Explain “Generate HTML” and Help & Manual “Import” settings leave each imported topic in a bordered table.  The table looks fine as Dr. Explain output, but it does not look good inside the Help & Manual generated pages with their navigation system.

The easy way to get rid of the table border is to get rid of the table on import.  It is a single-column table so this import option works great.

Dr. Explain “Single Pages”

Dr. Explain technique for updating & adding individual topics in Help & Manual.

Export Options

Make the DrE output as close as possible to the desired layout in H&M.

The Key: DrE’s Topic Property

If the Topic is set the .htm and all the .png’s begin with the Topic.

Import Into H&M

I was surprised that the images automatically went into the Topics subfolder I wanted them in.  In my test H&M project I had to move them from the project’s root folder.  Yet another area of H&M I haven’t figured out yet…  ;-)

Next DrE / H&M Project

Before first import into H&M set up DrE topics logically.  Include a # in the Topic to make it easier to delete obsolete images.
