Re: How Do I Remove all Hyperlinks from Printed output?

I use conditions to remove the links from my printed output.
1. I mark each link with the condition "Web-only" and set Exclude Action (in the bottom left corner of the Condition Tags dialog) to Unbind.
2. In the target, on the Conditional Text tab, I select Exclude checkbox for the "Web-only ...

Re: WebHelp: single output to support multiple versions

What's wrong with the 16 versions approach!

It is good and simple. You use Flare conditionals and generate 16 versions of the help. Then you link from each version of the program to the respective WebHelp version. Or you just put all helps on a server and let users pick the one that applies to ...

Flare 4 - Am I the only one disappointed

There are three features that I find useful in the new release:
1. Global project linking
2. Collaboration
3. Reporting

I checked them. They all work but are too complicated. I spent a couple of hours trying to figure out how they work.
1. Global linking is nothing but an import. If I change the ...

Re: WebHelp without the frames

AJAX is just another technology; similar to frames, but a few years younger and more sophisticated. Sure, AJAX-based WebHelp would be better than "framed" WebHelp. And Flare currently supports AJAX: all those togglers use JavaScript.

What I really need is to have a choice. I want to be able to ...

Re: WebHelp without the frames

Thanks for the comments - I learned a few things I didn't know. Thanks for the reminder, too - I posted an enhancement request for frameless WebHelp skins.

Re: WebHelp without the frames

I would love to be able to use the TOC, index, and search, but without the frames. Can you provide a skin where these elements are accessible as separate pages and not as tabs within the navigation frame?

Reasons the frames are a problem:
Speed . The frames take very long to load. Our first topic ...

WebHelp without the frames

Hello,
Flare offers several outputs: DotNet, HTML (chm), WebHelp and WebHelp Plus, and Printed formats for Word and FramMaker. I need a different output: HTML files.

In essence, I want to deliver WebHelp but without the frames and the menu provided by Flare. I want to be able to place the content ...
