Re: Issues when TOCs are nested in master TOC
If anyone stumbles across this topic wondering the same thing, I posted this question in the Slack channel and was given this answer: I suspect that you need to set a particular option for each of the linked "subTOCs" (that's my homegrown term) in the master TOC. ON the master TOC, right-c...

Issues when TOCs are nested in master TOC
My company is in the process of switching over to Flare for managing/publishing our help center and we're in the final stages of testing and tweaking before finally pushing the site live. Because of our specific needs, we would like to maintain both a master TOC containing our entire database and in...

Re: Displaying new TOC if linking from one CHM to another
Yeah I tried that...doing that opens the topic in an Internet Explorer window with no TOC for some reason.Psider wrote:Maybe you could set the link to open in a new window? It's been a long time since I've used chms though.

Displaying new TOC if linking from one CHM to another
Here's my scenario: I have two CHM files, which we'll call A and B. These CHM files are created from two separate targets in my Flare project. One of the topics in A links to one of the topics in B. If I open A and click on the link, the desired topic in B opens up properly, but the TOC that is disp...

Question about links/conditions for multiple outputs
I have a question about a project with multiple build scenarios whose topics still need to link to each other when they aren't built together.

Re: Any way AT ALL to exclude a topic from search?
I tried renaming the extension. .xhtm seems to exclude the entire topic from the build, or at least it hides it from search a little TOO well (I'll explain below). .x.htm seems to just be read by the system as a regular .htm.

Any way AT ALL to exclude a topic from search?
I want to include a topic (.htm file) in a .chm build, but I don't want that topic appearing in search results. MadCap's 'Including or Excluding Topics in Search' help page explicitly says "In Microsoft HTML Help, all topics are always searchable," and all my research and testing and attem...

Including .chms linked in master TOC in search results
My company recently acquired Flare and we're in the process of converting our documentation over from Help&Manual. My first project has been setting up the infrastructure for our HTML Help (.chm) database. To briefly explain our setup: Each screen in our company's software is programmed to call ...
