Hello,

I created a CHM file using Scroll CHM-Exporter ...is it possible to open an auxiliary topic from the command line using MapId (as in RoboHelp) or some other way? I will not find it in the help.

Many thanks in advance.

Regards, Jerry

  Hi Jerry,

  Thanks for reaching out.

  In order to have context-sensitive help links, you'd need to use the page key functionality in Scroll Versions.

  We've documented how this can be used in combination with our Scroll CHM Exporter in our docs. Please feel free to check out the page here.

  Does that help?

  Best,
  Nils

  Hi Nils,

  I did not realize before that I needed a second program to solve the problem. But it works now. Thank you!

  Best regards,
  Jerry

  Is it still the case that I need Scroll Versions for page keys?

  Just found Scroll Documents. Looks very good, exactly what we do ((writing manuals) or want to do in the future (write CHM help files).

  
  But adding a key to a page doesn't exists in Scroll Documents?

  Hi Urs, sorry for the delayed response. It seems that this comment slipped under the radar and we have missed responding to you. Currently, in order to have context-sensitive help links, you'd need to use the page key functionality in Scroll Versions and this feature isn't available in Scroll Documents. However, I know this is a topic that is under discussion within the Scroll Documents team during this quarter as they look to introduce more versioning functionality within the app.

  Please note, at the moment, Scroll CHM Exporter is not compatible with Scroll Documents and therefore there is also the added obstacle of introducing this compatibility too, should the Scroll Documents team add such a function. Was using Scroll Versions instead a possibility?

  Thanks, Thomas (K15t)
