About ExtendScript Toolkit support

Create your own scripts to automate repetitive tasks and time-consuming workflows. For example, you can write a script that counts the images used in a RoboHelp project.

RoboHelp provides a set of sample scripts that you can use or customize. You can access these sample scripts from Tool > Scripts.

Style-based Index Generator

Use this script to create style-based index entries for keywords present in the topics of a project. The styles need to be specified in the script. The script searches all the keywords with the mentioned styles in each topic and creates index entries for them. By default, the script creates entries for h1 (Heading 1) and "h2" (Heading 2) styles. The style array in the script should be updated with the desired style names.
