We are planning to transform our HTML Help (chm) into a HTML5 help. A lot of our topics are context-sensitive to the dialogs of our software by using alias and headers. In Flare help you are presenting two methods of connecting HTML5 help to software. According to our developers these mean the following:
- The Javascript method would only do in web-based applications.
- The URL method would only do if the help topics were hosted by a web server.
Our software is not web based. Also, in the beginning we would offer our help only locally, So we do have the following questions:
- Our developers named requirements for your methods, see above. But are they really necessary?
- If not, which information would our developers need?
- If yes, how would we proceed with CSH in a help being local?
The size and position of a window can be controlled in the skin, Flare help says. We will use side navigation. I did not find the means to alter neither the window's position nor its size. Therefore we would like to know:
- Is it possible to set the window's position and size using side navigation? If so, how do I go about?
- How did you go about yourself for the context-sensitivity of Flare help? You open CSH (HTM file including skin) in a special window with preset position and size. Has the window been built by your developers? If so, what would (our) developers have to do?
- There is a button called "Open Topic in Browser" in your tool bar. How do I obtain this button?
Thank you, I am looking forward to reading your answer soon!
