Re: Images used in Target/TOC

I don't think there's any way to do what you want within Flare, because it doesn't know what's going to be in an output until you generate. I'm not sure if the following would work ( I can't remember if images are affected by the setting), but it's easy to try. Create a HTML5 target just for this ...

Re: Logo and Search box in the side navication part?

Is the web medium appropriate for the 17" monitor? If so you could redefine where the tablet breakpoint is so your normal web medium displays on the smaller monitor. You'd just change the Tablet breakpoint to a smaller number in the Target > Skin tab. Just asking the question, in case you'd just ...

Re: Extra PDF Page Inserted

I recently found a scenario with Concept tags causing blank pages in the pdf output. 1. You have a concept tag in a topic that is not contained within a regular HTML element INSIDE the body element. i.e. the madcap element is not inside a p, h1, li etc. For example: <body> <MadCap:concept name ...

Re: Search returning no results in Chrome 84

If clearing the browser cache works consistently, perhaps there is a caching issue on the server. The Toc, search etc are javascript files that are generally considered static and thus cached for a long time (as I understand it). So uploading new items might mean some old javascript and new ...

I'll describe what happens in the output for ticked and unticked scenarios. HTML5 output using branding css and side ...

Re: How do you stop DIVS overlapping in PDFs?

I'm not sure if it will work for PDF but you could try setting overflow: auto; or overflow: hidden in the div style, if you haven't already.

Try to make as many changes using the stylesheet editor in Flare and I'm sure it will update if it needs to. Especially for table stylesheets, I find it safest ...

You can link to a bookmark. You select the topic, then in the dialog box there's a little icon that lets you select the bookmark you want to link to.

In a quick test, it seemed like the message appeared simply after choosing a specific microcontent file in the target. See if it goes away after selecting "All micro content files" in the Search tab of the target.

If you want to display your own text, rather than the topic title, yes. If you're happy with the topic title then you can leave it as is. :)

Re: Is there a way to use bookmarks as TOC entries?

Hmm I don't know. It seems to work the way you want when I do a quick test.

But perhaps you're doing print output and that might work differently from online?

Some screenshots of your setup and what you see in the output might help.

If you add the topic to the toc, then open the toc entry properties (right-click) there's a button to select a bookmark. You can change the Title field to the text you want displayed in the toc.
