There are several problems with the HTML5 layouts supplied with RH10:
~They are not consistently formatted across
mobile device layouts; a client wanting output
for all mobile devices will have to put up with
different color schemes, different "branding,"
etc. for each device he wants to output to.
~Adobe admits that they expected the RH10 user to
have their IT department modify the HTML5. Well,
we small and 1-person companies have no IT department.
~There is precious little documentation that
explains how to edit the HTML5 files. Vikram
Verma, the RoboHelp TCS product manager, promised
a Webinar but I don't believe it has happened yet.
You can download a brief procedure that Vikram
sent me in March at
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ip6x2whnpfb315m/How%20to%20Edit%20RoboHelp%20mobile%20layouts.pdf.
It might be helpful. I haven't tried it myself
because I honestly thought that when I purchased
RH10 I could do what I needed to do without
having to learn an entirely new profession of Web
design and HTML5 coding. Right now, I'll probably
hire someone to tweak the sample files to make an
entire set of mobile layouts with similar branding.

Robert, have you used the HTML5 layouts and found them less than satisfying?

Sounds like the HTML 5 layout is not compatible with WebHelp skins:
"A screen layout has two key components, a set of screen layout pages
and a CSS. The screen layout pages define the content and the
structure. The CSS defines the layout and the skin."

Do you have a compelling reason to use the brand-new and probably not
ready for prime-time HTML 5 layout?

Ok, I realize now Im probably off base with my question
ugh. HTML5 and
the WebHelp Pro output are not the same. Looked at it in a different way
and figured out where I was going wrong.
So what I need is to create(modify) an HTML 5 desktop screen layout that
uses one of the skins from the gallery
is that possible to define easily,
or is it a major design from scratch issue?
