RoboHelp 2015 has introduced dramatic improvements to creating HTML5, especially with its HTML5 layout editor. The previous release of RoboHelp made HTML accessible. The newer, “2015” version has virtually eliminated the need to make any modifications to CSS code in order to achieve stunning results.
In this webinar, special guest and expert, Willam van Weelden, makes the difference between using the layout editor and editing CSS code crystal clear.

Sounds as if it’s exactly what I need. However, I’m unable to play the webinar (tested in two environments, three browsers each). Adobe Support told me this morning that it’s a known issue with no ETA and that they couldn’t help me.
So how may I get this information please? I’m open to any alternatives. Even a transcript or copy of closed captioning would help.
Hi Denise,
this is a problem that came up with an Update of Adobe Connect a few days ago. We are working on it, so that the webinars will be accessible in a few days ago.
I will reply here again, as soon as the problem is solved.
Thanks for your understanding and patience.
Kind regards,
Stefan Gentz
Hi, Stefan.
Thank you very much for your reply. I was able to view the webinar today, and it was well worth the wait!
I especially appreciated the portions on how to customize search and use the .scss alternative to editing .css files.
Kind regards,
Denise Wenner
