One Project, Many Stylesheets?
Posted: Thu Apr 06, 2017 3:30 pm
Hi,
I am trying to figure out if there's a way to have one project produce multiple HTML5 outputs with different styles.
NOTE: Probably worth mentioning I'm fairly new to Flare and not experienced with many intermediate-to-advanced stylesheet concepts and techniques, so I apologize if there's a solution out there staring me in the face.
PROBLEM
I create custom help sites for resell partners. I currently maintain three projects (one for each partner-branded site) with roughly the same content; the only differences are the org name and color scheme. While single sourcing the text is easy, I can't determine how to generate output styled for each partner--and thus avoid having to maintain multiple projects in parallel--since each site currently references two stylesheets (one for the homepage, the other for topics). The Target Editor appears to only let you specify one stylesheet (i.e., the Master Stylesheet) per build (though I admit I might not be following how Flare applies stylesheets during builds).
ON THE RIGHT TRACK?
One idea I had is combining the homepage and topic stylesheets into one file (per partner) and select that as the Master Stylesheet in the Target Editor.
Hope this makes sense. Any feedback is much appreciated!
