Working with topics
Update topic references
If you rename a topic title, make sure that you update the following items as indicated.
The path of the link is updated, but the link text that is visible to a user is not. If link text in any topics
Text links
includes the topic title, update each topic.
If you want to change the topic heading to match the topic title, change it in the Design Editor.
Topic heading
Update a book or page with the new title. In the Table Of Contents pod, right-click the book or page
Table of contents
and select Rename. Enter the new title.
If the topic title is an index keyword, update the keyword in the Index pod. Right-click the keyword in the upper
Index
pane and select Rename. Type the new title.
Add underscores to filenames
If topic filenames have multiple words, you can set RoboHelp HTML to replace underscores with spaces. This
convention enables TOC books and pages to synchronize with topic content displayed in the viewer.
Existing filenames aren't affected unless you edit them.
