So I need to import the new material and decide how to keep it. Here are my questions:
- If some new section titles are identical to some existing titles—for example, "setup"—will they be overwritten or renamed? (In this 2014 post [viewtopic.php?f=5&t=18636], they were being overwritten...has that changed?) If so, then maybe I should wait until the authors finish sending me all 40+ appendices so I can merge them all in at once into a separate project?
- The original took considerable pre-import prep and even more post-import work in Flare. If I import it straight into my existing project, some of the RegEx and other global search-and-replace might be messed up or at least made harder. So I'm motivated to import into a separate project and then merge the projects. Is that a good idea?
- OTOH once this is all over the whole package will travel together evermore. Is there a way to do this as one project? Is there a reason not to?
- My Flare work thus far has been pretty uncomplicated: CSS, HTML, a couple of targets. For structures such as master projects etc I'm afraid it's going to be more weeks of flailing around in the dark. I find MadCap's documentation to be aimed at an audience that understands all the concepts and just needs the particulars. Is it just me? Can someone recommend a book, author, etc. that does a better job of explaining?
