Example: Display TOC as a menu

[NorthEast]

I've produced a full example project of how to integrate a menu control into Flare, which uses the Flare TOC file.

An example project with documentation is here (topics in Introduction section):
http://ukauthor.esy.es/SmartMenusHTML5/Content/Main-Intro.htm

This might be of use to anyone that's designing a skin-less HTML5 output, and needs a navigation system that can be integrated into topics.

The documentation shows how to:
* Use XSLT to convert a Flare TOC file to a HTML menu.
* Configure the project for the SmartMenus plugin.
* Integrate the menu into topics, either by using a snippet or by dynamically loading the content.

All details are on the linked site above, it should answer most questions.

Awesome work. Madcap need to take a good look at this and integrate this into Flare itself. Your project describing how to do this looks soooo much better than anything you can do with Flare out of the box. The end of the ugly and restrictive skins must surely be in sight?
