I have been working with Flare for a while now and building our HTML5 (tri-pane) web target works like a charm. We have been kind of single-sourcing in that I also build a PDF target with every major release from the same project, using the same TOC. However, that PDF has been for internal eyeballs only. It never contained a contents page and I have never used a TOC proxy before.
Now we have a new big customer and suddenly I need to create a proper printable PDF that is good enough for external eyeballs. ASAP, of course.
So far, I have wrapped my head around a few basic facts:
- TOC proxies do exist.
- I _can_ use the same TOC for both targets but they will not automatically create the same structure in PDF and web.
- Advanced target settings include the nice little option "Use TOC depth for heading levels". I am using that now because I do want my web build and my PDF build to have the exact same structure.
- My PDF TOC will kindly include as many heading levels as I want, provided I edit the mc-heading-level for H1 through H6 print mediums accordingly in my css file.
At this point I feel a little stuck. Is there some quick, easy and elegant way to solve this while still using the same TOC for both targets? I have looked around the forum and the MadCap help. I did find one thread that mentions my problem but ultimately discusses the reverse solution (viewtopic.php?f=75&t=19580&hilit=TOC+html5+pdf).
Any thoughts on how to best approach this problem? Thanks in advance!
