Created my project originally as an HTML5.
Then added a PDF target to it later down the line.
Issue: when I Build my HTML5 project, the build is failing every time, with a message saying Search.htm:Failed to parse master page file.
From this error, I thought I'd check under Project Properties, to see which Master page the project was using. I cannot find my HTML5 Master pages in the list. Instead, as you can see in the attachment below, it's offering a choice of Default or Page Layouts (which is for printed/PDF):
Project Properties>Advanced>Master page missing[FIXED]
Project Properties>Advanced>Master page missing[FIXED]

Re: Project Properties>Advanced>Master page missing
That "Master Page Layout" field in Project properties is referring to page layout files, whose extension is .flpgl. Flare is asking you which one you want to use as the "master" page layout for the whole project. That field is not referring to master page files, whose extension is .flmsp. The confusion stems, IMO, from MadCap's poor labeling of "Master Page Layout". Flare doesn't offer the option of setting a "master" master page for the project. Master pages are set at the target or topic level.

RETIRED, but still fond of all the Flare friends I've made. See you around now and then!
