Re: [Framers] How to video: FM2015 and Responsive HTML5

Adobe does something like that. When you look at a FrameMaker help
topic on the web, there's a pop-up menu of other versions in case
you're looking at the wrong one.

I don't think it makes any sense to do that by lumping everything
together in one project, HTML5 or otherwise.

Re: [Framers] How to video: FM2015 and Responsive HTML5

[Norton, Michael]

Thanks for the presentation Bernard. I can think of one way to use that in the 
products I document. I do have a couple of questions, however.

In your example it seemed as if the user would open a "default" HTML5 Help that 
had both Word and FrameMaker information. The user would then choose between 
Word or FrameMaker and then see the appropriate content. The initial view, 
however, would not be useful to the user because it showed both sets of content 
merged together.

Is there a way to make, for instance, the Word information the default and then 
give the user the option of switching to the Frame (and other sets of content 
if applicable)?

And also, can the HTML5 Help system remember your choice and make it the 
default the next time you open that Help system?

I can't imagine a real-world use case where I would trust users to
choose the right option.

[Framers] How to video: FM2015 and Responsive HTML5

[Bernard Aschwanden (Publishing Smarter)]

Working with conditional content? Need a better way to deliver than "2
similar, but different PDF files"?

 

Imagine this:

 

You create a doc that compares 2 products. For example, you may start with a
title that reads "Working with Microsoft WordAdobe FrameMaker". Then body
content after it that is similar, but has some content unique to one tool or
the other.

 

Create a condition and apply it to the words. Then you get this (exaggerated
differences in format by me):

 

Working with Microsoft WordAdobe FrameMaker

 

To create a PDF you select/deselect conditions to show and create 2 PDF
files. One is "Working with Microsoft Word" and the other is "Working with
Adobe FrameMaker".

 

That's okay, but not great.

 

Instead, you can deliver web content using Responsive HTML5. Then users can
toggle a filter to show one OR the other.

 

 

 

If you want to see how to use FM2015 to create content that is HTML5, and
that allows users to pick/choose what they see, check my video. It's free,
uses entirely default content, and anyone can re-create what is in it within
a few minutes (the video is under 15 minutes):

This video supports a 1 hour session I delivered at STC Summit in Anaheim a
few weeks ago at Adobe Day. I wanted to ensure that others who can benefit
from it see this in action. It's a pretty cool feature.

 

Hope it helps.
