Version 2.0 February 2022 Update

In the February 2022 Flare update, the font size and weight have been revised for all headings to make h2.sectiontitle a little bit more standout and accommodate one more level of heading.

New Heading Level

Since HTML only allows heading level to <h6> so this new heading level is a pseudo heading. It would be a class of the div tag and is styled as a heading. So this would not be in the PDF bookmarks or TOC or HTML navigation menu.

When to use

When you want a heading inside the section, you can use this style. Enter the heading text in the normal paragraph tag and apply the div.miniSectionHeading style.

For demo, see video.

Existing Heading Style Update

Existing heading styles are changed in font size and weight. The Source San Pro font family has 600 weight font which can be used HTML but for PDF the font family needs to be selected as Source Sans Pro SemiBold. The Source Sans Pro SemiBold font is installed with the Source Sans Pro family, so writers don't need to install it separately.

Landing Page Template Update

The landing page of the HTML output can be updated to provide links to all documents that a product version landing have on the docsite, for example, videos, release documents, and PDF guides. A sample implementation was done in TIBCO BusinessEvents 6.2.0, see TIBCO BusinessEvents® Enterprise Edition 6.2.1.

The Home.htm template file is updated with new sections which appear as a dropdown. Respective new styles are created in the home-page.css stylesheet.

What writers have to do

For the new project, the template/boilerplate is already present in the _template directory, writers have to update the links and link text. For a walkthrough, see the video in Confluence.

For existing projects, you can archive your old Home.htm file and create a new Home.htm file. Update the new Home.htm file with proper text and links. Also, update the HTML target with the new Home.htm as the startup topic. For details, see the video in Confluence.
