Anyone have a few tips for prepping HTML5 output for publishing, so it's packaged neatly for devs for inclusion in an Android app?

The ask is to embed an HTML5 responsive output into an Android tablet app, which a user would access by pressing Help within the app. Developers do not want the tablet ...

I would like to keep using the same Repo, but I want to be able to label the last known final version of my help system to correspond with the software version so that I can always revert or call it up if needed.

I don't see this option of labeling in the GUI of the source control window, so what ...

I'm single sourcing through one stylesheet. For Font Awesome calls, I'll refer to the web link. This works fine for my html5, but all of the fonts do not display in PDF output.

If I'm expecting all of those fonts to appear in the print output from the same css file, do I need to install the fonts ...

I like the fact that bubbles feature a way to anchor the end point, move the rectangle with the text in it, and resize based on the text in the bubble (especially if translations are needed or smaller sizes).

Problem:
I have a manager who wants top nav, but likes the top nav on the left side and does not like tripane.
I have users who don't know how to click the hamburger button to open the menu.
If they get it, the menu closes after they navigate to a new topic

Solution:
If I set the tablet break ...

The robots.txt directives are nothing else than friendly recommendations. Most of the commercial bots adhere to these directives, but there is nothing in any standard (or law) that requires them to do so.
What can happen is that your users share the link to the help or your competitors target a web ...

I want to make sure that the HTML5 Top Nav online help I create with Flare is not easily stumbled upon by any Internet user, or competitor.
My Online Help users will be using a direct link from the application, to get to the Online Help homepage, without needing to log in.

I'm hearing that I may ...
