How Did You Do That? Top Navigation Advanced Template

The Top Navigation Advanced project template in Flare contains several starter topics and other files intended for online HTML5 output with top navigation like a modern website, instead of the more traditional tripane format. It includes several features that you might use in online output, and the content and files have been designed to maximize single-sourcing capabilities. This template starts you out with two HTML5 targets and a skin that has responsive output based on the device width. This means the content display changes automatically depending on the device (browser, tablet, or mobile phone). You can add other kinds of targets and skins if you like.

We're not going to attempt to explain every aspect of this template. Instead, we'll focus on some of the features and tasks that raise the most questions.

We will also show how to convert your existing project to create Top Navigation output. There are steps for a simple conversion (see How Did You Do That? Simple Conversion to Top Navigation Output), as well as steps for a more advanced conversion where some files are imported from the Top Navigation Advanced template (see How Did You Do That? Advanced Conversion to Top Navigation Output).

Use the slideshow to learn more about a feature.
