Has anyone had any luck getting either of the HTML5 default layouts to generate using RHCL.exe with RoboHTML 11? We try to keep the source files checked in, then generate the output at build time.
To test, I generated a project based off the "Knowledge Base" template, then updated the the associated screen layouts with the screen profiles. For Responsive HTML5, that was "Theme1_Standard", and for Multiscreen HTML5, that was "Desktop_Knowledge". Both of these layouts generate fine through the RoboHTML UI, but when generated from the command line, they fail. With Responsive HTML5, RHCL does not acknowledge that the layout exists. For Multiscreen HTML5, RHCL crashes (null reference exception) when processing the project's index. (Keep in mind that I haven't modified the index from the template at this point).
I'd be happy with either of these two layouts working with RHCL, as we're still fairly early in the process of creating the online help. Our only requirement is that it is web-based and cannot use frames (like WebHelp layout does).
thanks,
