Favorite Flare 8 features

Similar to you, I also need Default_CSH.htm to remain in the deployment directory, because without it, the HTML5 build target breaks our existing CSH calls. So I'm looking for ways to work around that problem.

Just set the Output File in the target to be Default_CSH ; then you'll just have one file, Default_CSH.htm.

This also means any internal links/references in the help output point to this file too, rather than Default.htm.

Thanks, Dave! I will try that, and report back here when I know how it worked for our project.

Okay, setting the Output File in the target to be Default_CSH did not do the trick for our particular use. The main help link opens the help now, which it didn't before (when using only Default.htm), but trying a CSH link brings up an empty window on the right side.

I'll troubleshoot this further when I have time. If I learn anything useful I'll post it here.

Thanks again.

Love the ability to set page breaks at the TOC entry level! It has greatly simplified our single-sourcing to multiple outputs!

I'm not sure if this is Flare 8 or perhaps 7, but I've found the ability to use Postscript, Embedded Postscript, and Scalable Vector Graphics (PS, EPS, SVG) files as images to be very useful.

I have some portfolio pieces that were generated as PDF. Using Acrobat I can save pages as PS files, then import the PS files into a Flare project as graphics. I can then surround the graphics with explanatory text and generate the project as print and online outputs…
