How do I make a screenshot resizable on a mobile device?
I'm working on creation of a web help system for my project with your HelpSmith software.
If I insert an image (e.g. screenshot) from a file, how can I make it resizable in the web help system?
In other words, when the help system is viewed on a small device (e.g. tablet, smartphone), the screenshot should resize accordingly to the screen size.
How do I organize images in my HelpSmith project?
I have a big number of images and screenshots in my HelpSmith project. Currently I want to re-organize the project's Media Repository, so I can easily find and update them.
For example, I would like to organize my media files as follows:
Rename each image file according to the subject;
Move selected images to a topic-specific folder;

Is it possible to create a protected Web Help system? (Access restriction options?)
We want to publish a web-based documentation on our website, but we want to restrict access to some sections for specific users.
For example, we need to allow access to a web help section, or particular topics:
By user login/password.
By a special URL link/token.
Does HelpSmith provide an option to restrict access to the documentation?
How to add a border around an image?

Q: Does HelpSmith allow adding a border around an image in a topic?
How to update font in the generated tables?
I'm using the HelpSmith's Image Tool to capture screenshots and then export control annotations into the help topic.
Is there a way to change the font name and text color in the generated tables without editing each table individually?
How do I set the size of the image and annotation objects?
How do I set/control the size of the image, the size of the annotations (e.g. balloons) within the image, and the size of the annotations in the tables below the image?
When I change the size of the image in the topic editor, it seems like it also scales the size of balloons, control annotations, etc.
Hidden topic is still accessible via Search tab
I've hidden a topic by selecting the "Hidden" option in the topic properties dialog.
In the compiled help file, the topic is not visible in the Contents tree, but I can still access it via the Search tab.
How can I fix this?
Clickable hyperlinks in breadcrumbs
I have a Breadcrumb object in the template that applies to the topics in my .CHM help file and Web Help system that I'm creating with HelpSmith.
However, the Breadcrumb displays the path to the selected topic as regular text.
How can I enable clickable hyperlinks in the Breadcrumb's path, so the user of the help file can follow to the appropri [...]
How to set SEO-friendly filenames for topics?
When I export my help project as a web help system, the filenames of my topics are named like "idh-topic10.htm".
I would like to set meaningful filenames that correspond to the titles of the topics, which is important for better indexing/ranking of the pages by search engines, etc.
For example:
If I have a topic named "User Interface", it shoul [...]
