Internal error: Failed to generate Mimic output
Hi, Ever since I upgraded my OS to Windows 7, I am getting this error: "Internal error Mimic Compiler: Failed to generate Mimic output". Does anybody know why Flare throws this error? The error log says something about files names being too long, but I haven't changed anything to the files...

Re: Toc in pdf shows as large white space (V5)
What do you mean with "display property of the base div tag"?LTinker68 wrote:Double-check the display property for the base div tag and for the p.TOC1, p.TOC2, etc., tags. And make sure you didn't apply a conditional tag to the tocProxy in the topic.

Hi, My TOC proxy is not appearing in the printed manual but there is a white space with the length of the actual TOC.

How to localize Flare Glossaries
Hi,
Does anybody know how to localize Flare glossaries with a standard CAT tool? What kind of format are these files? I tried renaming them to .xml, but to no avail.
Thanks,
Joost

Re: CAT tool (Déjà Vu) needs DTD or XML schema
The files are in your installed folders for Flare. For me, that is here: C:\Program Files\MadCap Software\MadCap Flare V4\Flare.app\Resources\Schemas Look for that Schemas folder. The XML schemas will be there. Right, they do ship it along then. Thanks. I tested it with the Madcap.xsd. It seems to ...

Re: CAT tool (Déjà Vu) needs DTD or XML schema
If you build WebHelp output and view the source code of the Default.htm file then you'll see the DTD call. Assuming it's the same for all types of online output (I'm a bit fuzzy on DTD) then for topics it's... <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.or...

Hi,
My Flash output has two grey bars in the upper region of the movie. I am using Mimic V3. They seem to me ghost impressions of a progress bar. Does anyone know how to get rid of them?

When I use buttons in lists that are higher than the paragraph text, the paragraph numbers are aligned to the top of the paragraph, not the bottom, which makes them float in relation to the paragraph text.

When I create a new topic or modify the properties of an existing topic, the css is not selectable. The field is greyed out. Anyone any idea why this might happen? The file is there and I have been using it for days.

Max width makes pictures disappear
Hi,
I am experimenting in Flare V5 with the max width property to make my pictures fit onto a printed page but to no avail. When I add a new class to the img tag and apply it to a picture as explained in the manual, it is gone in the output. What have I done wrong? Any ideas?
