Editing the Master Page

Summary:

Describes how to edit the master page, which compiles additional elements onto topic pages in the output.

Full Description:

Master pages can be used to add content to every page in an output. This project uses a master page to add breadcrumbs above the topic, and a copyright below the topic in WebHelp and HTML5 outputs. When editing the master page, you will see proxies representing areas of the topic that will be populated at compile time.
