Creating Mobile Output With Flare

 

Thinking about trying a mobile version of your online help or documentation? You can move into the new area of mobile app creation, or you can use Flare 6 to convert your online material to mobile format. The result isn't a mobile app but rather a mobile site that should run on almost any mobile device with a microbrowser.

Conversion is pretty straightforward mechanically, using conversion features built into the Flare interface. Where things can get tricky is in the design and control of the content, such as deciding what content to show or not show in mobile form and how to control that, how to control the formatting by making full use of CSS features like mediums and relative sizes, and more.

This half-day, hands-on, web-based workshop is aimed at Flare authors who want to quickly get up to speed on the primary tasks in converting existing projects to Flare WebHelp Mobile output. Previous experience on one or more Flare projects is helpful but not necessary.
