Publishing HTML5 output online

Post by ksharkey9414 »

Does the HTML5 online help require users to have Windows to view it? What about all the folks on linux, openVMS, UNIX, etc.?

The output is HTML, css and javascript/jquery, so will run on any web server as far as I'm aware. The Flare application itself is Windows only, though.

HTML5 output will work fine on non-Windows machines. None of our customers use Windows.

So, you should test your output on the relevant platforms, as one thing you might encounter is issues with case-sensitivity.
The output may display fine on your local Windows machine. However, Linux/UNIX machines may fail to display linked pages or load stylesheets if there is a difference in case between the link and the file it is trying to load, or the name of the directory in which it is located.

You will find plenty of threads relating to that on this forum.
Just worth keeping in mind.
