Snippets

Content Reuse for Images, Tables, Text and More

Snippets are blocks that can contain text, variables, images and suchlike to form a complete paragraph. They are especially useful where you need to repeat the same content in many topics as any change only has to be made once.

Snippet Management

The Snippets pod supports creating categories and organizing many different Snippets into different categories. This will help simplify the management of Snippets.

Some Adobe RoboHelp authors have developed quite a number of Snippets. For an Adobe RoboHelp author that has created a large number of snippets, they will find a field at the top of the Snippets pod that allows them to search for Snippets.

Snippet Conversion

Occasionally the Adobe RoboHelp author has a need to convert a snippet appearing inside a topic to become part of the actual topic content. This may be where the snippet has to be different in one topic.

Adobe RoboHelp allows the help author to right-click a snippet inside a topic and convert the content from a Snippet to topic content.
