CSH Calls for HTML5 Output

You can work with your developer (or you can function as the developer yourself) to connect an HTML5 system to a software application or to open specific parts of your online documentation from a simple web link. The application or web link(s) can be connected to the basic Help output, to specific topics in the output (context-sensitive Help), or both.

  • Basic Help The developer can connect the application or web link to your basic HTML5 output, rather than to a specific topic. The Help will open in the browser window, displaying the startup topic that you designate and the navigation elements that you include.
  • Context-sensitive Help (CSH) The developer can use CSH to connect the application or web link(s) to specific topics in the HTML5 output (as long as you have created CSH in your Flare project and share the header file information with the developer).
Closedwhat you need to do
  1. Work with your developer to determine how you want to connect the online output to the application or web link(s).
  2. Create and build your HTML5 target in Flare.
  3. Provide the developer with the output files, as well as the CSH header file.
  4. Provide the developer with the Skin ID, if you want to use a different skin for the CSH. See Enabling Runtime Skins.
  5. Provide the developer with the information in the following topic: CSH Calls for HTML5 Output—Developers.
