Use of concept linking in HTML Help

Post by Gary Niemen »

Hello,
We are trying to get "concept linking" to work in HTML Help. Or, rather, it is working - but it doesn't look so good. List view is not possible and Pop-up view looks unprofessional. Both work fine and look fine when using WebHelp. Anybody have any ideas? Either an alternative to concept linking in Flare. Or, a way to get list view working in the .chm file. Or, a proper pop-up in the .chm - rather than the separate dialog that opens now.
Regards
Gary Niemen

Perhaps Relationship Tables are the way to go? Anybody use them?

I don't use them, but I believe they may be able to give you what you are looking for.

Thanks. Yes I have been looking into the relationship tables a little more and it could be the way to go.
I think concept linking is closer to the topics and, therefore, probably easier to set up.
But, if the output isn't up to scratch - then it is not much use.
