CSH - How to keep Master Page from effecting skin?

[tylerc]

I am adding context sensitive help for the first time and am having trouble with the master page affecting the CSH output which has been assigned a separate skin. Any way of excluding the Master Page effects on selected directories?

Goal is to have CSH appear in small dialog without any master page effects.

Would creating a seperate chm and merge it with the master chm work?

Try this:

1. Create a new master page (e.g. called CSHMasterPage) that strips out everyrhing out that you don't want (e.g. no breadcrumbs, footer etc)
2. Create a new class in your stylesheet under "HTML" e.g. called CSH
3. Locate the "mc-master=page" property (advanced view, under the Unclassified group), and select "CSHMasterPage"
4. Save the stylesheet
5. Click View>File List
6. Select one or more files that are destined for CSH
7. Hit F4 to access properties
8. Under "Topic Properties>Topic Style Class" select "CSH" (i.e. the HTML class that references your master-page)

Cheers
