One topic, two ToC entries

Post by kevinmcl »

I've been avoiding ever making two ToC entries that point to the same topic file within a project, because somebody told me, years ago, that this defeats a navigation feature in Flare. Does anyone remember what that was, and why? And is it still true?

Or should I be able to have a topic pointed from multiple places in the ToC, without any deleterious side-effects?

Thanks,

It screws with the breadcrumb links.

The best practice solution is to put the guts of the topics into a snippet and then have the two topics include those snippets.

Rather than rehashing all of the details of this best practices, these posts go into detail (courtesy of LTinker68 aka Lisa):
