Master Advanced Skins and Layouts in RoboHelp 2015 without CSS Knowledge

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.
