Using tipcs form 1 project in another project

[henkjans]

Hello,

I like to know if the next idea is possible or if there is a better solution.
1 - I have a default project with several default text fragments.
2 - Beside that I have several specifiek projects which will use default text fragments.

Thanx for your time (and hopefully answer)

Example:

Default.prj -> DefaultTopic.htm = "This is default text 1"

Specific_A.prj -> Chapter_A1.htm =
"THIS IS THE HEADER OF CHAPTER A1
[This is default text 1]
and some more text."

Specific_B.prj -> Chapter_B1.htm =
"THIS IS THE HEADER OF CHAPTER B1
[This is default text 1]
and some more text."

Not sure if this is what you are looking for...

If you have a topic in another project you want to use in others, for example company information, you can use global project linking so the topic is reimported whenever you build. You can also use GPL for stylesheets and masterpages.

I believe you can use variables, defined in the source and host projects, to 'customise' each place the topic is used.

Global project linking is one way, source control another.
We have about a dozen projects that share some files. In the source control database we linked those "default" or "standard" files into other projects. If somebody updates those files we get out-of-date markers in all projects that include that file. We do a "Get Latest Version" and are up-to-date.
Those files can also be snippet files that you have inserted into other topcs ...

Thanx Steve and Inge for yor reply.
I solved it with snippets combined with global project linking.
Thats what I ment.
