Our legal department will not allow me to share the help system, but I can share a screen shot of what it looks like.

To all those who've asked Smartlett about his "was this helpful" link, I believe that is an add-on feature available from Madcap that captures user responses that you can then access (I don't know how). Anybody that works for Madcap and/or has different information, please correct this, but that's my recollection from last spring when I was first introduced to Flare.

Has anybody got any new additions to some published Flare docs? Unfortunately my company still doesn't allow me to publish docs on the web (it's coming... slowly... in a future version).

Can anyone explain to me a simple definition of MadCap Flare? I'm quite new to all of this.

I've produced the template for this help, using the new HTML5 top nav and skin components.
The layout is handled using Foundation grids, so it's responsive and mobile friendly.

Thank you Dave, this is great! Could you point me towards some information on how to use Foundation with Flare? I need a sort of 'quick start' guide. Also, do you know how to set the 'hamburger' icon in the header so that it always appears, for both desktop and mobile?

If you use the top nav skin in your target, Flare includes some parts of Foundation in the output.
It's not the full Foundation framework though, just stuff like the grid system - the docs can be found here: http://foundation.zurb.com/docs/components/grid.html

The 'hamburger' icon is displayed in Tablet/Mobile modes, so if you want to show this all the time then just set the responsive breakpoint to a high value (e.g. 5000px) so you don't see the desktop mode.
