Hyperlink from one HTML5 document to another

Post by Gary Niemen »

I am trying to create hyperlinks from one HTML5 document to another. The two documents are in two separate projects.
Currently, the output is in a file structure - and the structure is constant. The output folders are next to each other.
Later the output will be on a web server.
I want the link to open the whole online document and then go to the linked place.
The conclusion I have come to after investigating a little is that this can be done using CSH.
But I can't seem to get it to work. Does anybody know how to do it?
We are using Flare 12.

Okay I solved it:
- In the document that you want to link to, set up a CSH identifier in the Alias file. It is possible to link to a header down a page or a bookmark.
- In the document that you want to link from, in the Insert Hyperlink window, select External File as link type. In External File, enter the relative path to the index file, for example, .../../../../Installation Guide/HTML5 Output/index.htm. In Bookmark, type cshid=<identifier name>, for example, cshid=csh_sfs_config.
- Optional, set Target Frame to New Window/Tab.
Cool eh?
