# Scripts

Adobe RoboHelp has a powerful scripting capability and comes with a number of prepared scripts. You can also find more on various websites and many are free, you will find links on the Adobe RoboHelp forums. Scripts can automate procedures that might otherwise take time to undertake manually. Writing scripts is for advanced users and may require the assistance of your developers.

Below are two examples of the scripts that ship with Adobe RoboHelp.

## Glossary hotspot options

The Output Generator with Glossary Styling script allows you to choose a Popup or Tooltip instead of the traditional expanding hotspot for glossary terms.

## Skinning a CHM file

CHMs are still a useful method of providing user assistance but Microsoft have not updated the compiler for many years. As a result they now look a bit dated. With the aid of a RoboHelp script they can look very similar to WebHelp.

You just create WebHelp with the skin of your choice. Then you run the WebHelp to CHM Converter script.
