Hi David,

as Richard says, there are many unknowns, or unstated constraints, etc. - so anyone who would try to give a detailed answer without more details is either:

 - brave

 - foolhardy  or

 - just foolish.


So here I go .... you choose which of the above adjectives fits :-)

Possibly a suitable format is .... HTML.

Not just any old html, but a carefully selected subset / context.

Deliver a single, self-contained file of html. CSS and a small amount of JS all inline within the file.

Put in enough JS library/framework  (i.e. probably lift a minimal subset of Bootstrap or similar) to provide any kinds of interactivity you need such as clever tooltips, etc.), and build a LC tool to create the elements you want to place.

P.S. If you need images then this "single page" idea breaks - you might need to make images be "in the cloud" and require Internet connectivity.

Hi folks,

I would like to be able to generate a document from LC consisting of a single 
page (effectively a copy of a card) which can offer some basic interactivity.

I would be pretty happy if users can create a document that would display 
‘tooltip-like’ explanatory notes if summary fields are clicked.

I couldn’t make any sense of the interactivity offered by PDF.  I did a bit 
better with ePub, but the emphasis seems to be on links, animation and video 
etc, which is far more than I want.

Any advice or suggestions?


Best Wishes,
