- [Voiceover] In this video,…you'll learn how to create a master page,…a template that lets you control the header and footer…of each topic in an online output.…Let's step back a second a review the screen…that you've been generating…that you've seen a couple of times.…At the top is that narrow horizontal tool bar pane,…at the left is the navigation tabs pane…where the table of contents and glossary showed up,…and the large pane at the lower right…is the topic display pane.…That's where the actual content appears.…
Now you might decide that in addition to the content…you might want a bread crumb trail up there.…You might decide that you want a header,…maybe your company name.…You might decide that you want a footer…at the bottom of the topic,…maybe a copyright or maybe a series of social media links…and the bread crumb trail, the header, and the footer…are controlled by this file called the master page.…So let's go ahead and create and apply one.…So in Flare, I'm going to click on file, new…and in the add file dialog box,…
