Is micro content possible for CHM?

Post by uwem »

We are using the most current MC 2020. We are Looking for a possibility to implement MicroContent with CHM Output. We ve the Impression that it is possible only for HTML5. Right?

I would very much doubt it. The format hasn't been updated (by Microsoft) for more than a decade.

Flare's documentation states that the only output that supports micro content is HTML5 output.

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

Sadly, you're correct, and so is Nita. There are so many features of Flare that you can't use in CHMs, so if you want to use some of the neater features you might want to work on your stakeholders to get them to agree to change to HTML5. (I suspect that'll be an uphill struggle.)
