Re: Expand All

However, I would really prefer to have an option which allows the viewer to "expand all", such that the answers to all questions are shown, and the the topic can be printed to show both questions and answers.

There's an Expand All toolbar button that you can include in the skin.

If you don't ...

Re: Capture Menu hidden

Hi,

I do have ribbon selected, but it was just not showing it unless i click the menu item. I was able to fix it by changing to traditional view and ticking the standard toolbar option which is only selectable in the traditional toolbar view. When i went back to ribbon it was fixed.

Re: Managing screen shots

Many thanks, Ramon.

I’ll go through those links and check out the benefits of using screen portraits. Online help is definitely the focal point for the documentation, and I expect it to become a lot more popular once it’s available in Flare’s Top Nav format. It’s also good point to see how the ...

Managing screen shots

I have been planning how to use single sourced screen shots for both online and PDF outputs, and discovered, as many before me, that things get complicated. I thought I would share my experiences and see if anyone can provide any additional advice.

I’m using Flare 12 to create HTML 5 Top Nav and ...

Re: WebHelp and Search Engine Optimization

Many thanks for the reply. I will check out the xml sitemap generator. Will also look at the Flare target sitemap a bit more to see if there is any way to change how it's created.

SiteMap question

I have recently added a sitemap to my Flare 11 HTML 5 top nav output as well as the project contains just under a thousand knowledgebase articles that can only be accessed via report links and by searching in the knowledgebase portal - so it seems ideal to get a sitemap for these articles to make ...

Re: How a Top Nav home page uses the Top Nav skin

Many thanks, Dave.

How a Top Nav home page uses the Top Nav skin

Hello,

I understand most of the Flare Top Navigation components and how they work to create HTML 5 targets - but there is one thing that's bugging me.

How does the Top Navigation’s HTML 5 output's home page show the menu at the top but not the search bar at the top (as I believe these are both ...

Title of topics that don’t use the side menu

Hello,

I’m creating my first Flare Project – a Flare 11 Top Navigation HTML5 output for my documentation which is made up of 700 Knowledgebase articles plus the product documentation. The project uses the top nav default style sheets and master pages.

Re: HTML5 Top Navigation - navigation missing

You should be able to set the Top navigation menu to the left by opening the Top Navigation skin > Setup tab > Pane Position =Left. This will set the Responsive version of the menu to the left, even though the mini picture shows it shifting all of the menus to the left

To adjust the standard menus ...
