Output File

Post by RonM63 »

All

The majority of our end users are IE users, and with the advent of IE11 (and all its 'features' :roll: ), I need to insert a meta tag into the Output file. I have already added to my MasterPage - but the build process seems to ignore this? Can anyone advise how to edit the source control version of Home.htm so that I can permanently include <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=IE10, Chrome=1" />? n.b. this pushes IE11 back to IE10, which is apparently more stable for javascripts.

In my understanding you need to add that tag to the Default*.htm files in the output. Adding the tag to the master page does not do this. You have to manually do it after creating the output.

Thank you whunter.

What I'm trying to get to is how to edit the default*.htm source files before the build. Flare must have a compiler that draws in all the 'bits' that go into a build. ...so am wondering what 'bit' gets read to build the TOC? On a similar note, I include MOW in my build - but want it to be the intranet version (e.g. <!-- saved from url=(0016)http://localhost -->). The same compiler 'knows' that when MoW is selected in the Skin file to include the internet version... how can this be tweaked? I have tried to insert in the MasterPage, but it is seen (correctly) as a comment and is excluded when I do the build.

All of this was possible in RoboHelp 8 (my previous editor programme) but you needed to 'hack' some files in the RoboHelp Installation folder...

I believe you can modify the source files if you want to. For the default*.htm files, they are located in the ...\Flare.app\Resources\WebHelp folder (of your Flare installation directory).
