Does the WebHelp Mobile target always use ALL topics? I ask this because regardless of which Master TOC I select in the target editor for my mobile output, it always uses every topic in my project. I even created a sample TOC with only two topics and chose that one as the master TOC for the target and it still tried to output my entire project.
Strangely, the first set of topics shown in the Build Progress dialog are whichever ones I placed in the sample TOC, but the remaining are the rest of the topics in my project, in no particular order (since there is only one TOC, and it only has two items!).
Any ideas?
I just upgraded to v6.

Re: WebHelp Mobile output question
It sounds like it's working like any other Help target. Flare's going to include every topic in your project, unless you explicitly condition things out. What's on or not on the TOC makes no difference. You have to explicitly say what to exclude from the build.
The opposite is true for print output. For a print target, ONLY those topics on the TOC will be included in the generated print document. You could have a hundred topics in a project, but if the print TOC has only two topics on it, only those two topics will appear in the print document.

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

That makes sense. The "test" target I was using that had only two topics in its TOC, and was indeed a print target. That's why I thought that the other targets should adhere to its TOC instead of its conditional text settings.Nita Beck wrote:It sounds like it's working like any other Help target.

Thanks for the schooling.
