Output difference - RoboHelp 2017 and MadCap Flare

Post by tejasdandekar »

Hello,

We are considering migrating out online help projects from RoboHelp 2017 to MadCap Flare. We currently generate Responsive HTML5 output of the online help.
Any idea what are the differences in the Responsive HTML5 outputs from both these tools that one should note?

Why I am asking is because the UI development team may have to make some changes/fixes to the code logic that calls the context-sensitive help topics of RoboHelp Responsive HTML5 output after we generate an output from MadCap Flare.

The format of CSH calls for Flare's HTML5 output are documented here:
https://help.madcapsoftware.com/flare20 ... lopers.htm

You can use Javascript or URL method.
URL method is easiest, and this is an example of a CSH link to Flare's help using the ID "Alias_Editor":
https://help.madcapsoftware.com/flare2019/Default.htm#cshid=Alias_Editor

I've never used RoboHelp 2017, so I can't tell you the differences.
