Re: How do I get paragraphs to follow the indention of Headings?

Hmm. Seems like there should be some way to make everything after that heading have the same indentation level as the heading. As it is, I went into the stylesheet and set each heading to indent a little more than the one above it, expecting the ensuing paragraph to follow.

How do I get paragraphs to follow the indention of Headings?

I would like to be able to use the "Use TOC depth for heading levels" for my document, but the text following the headings does not indent with the heading.

This is what I end with in my output:

Drop down text will not stay dropped down

I'm trying out one of the factory templates in Flare v8 - the Knowledge Base. I was thinking of using the drop-down togglers to expand paragraphs. My only problem is in the output, when I click on the line of text to expand the rest of the text, it drops down (expands) and then immediately pops back ...

Page Width - Auto Resize

I built my HTML5 output, and I noticed that it doesn't resize to fit the screen:

I was trying to get it to automatically fill out the white space to the right of the text, like this:

How can I get rid of this empty space to the side of my text?

Thanks-

How can I create an inline code block to insert a Visual Basic example? I need the users to be able to copy the vb code directly from my document and paste it into a module - line breaks and tabs preserved. I've seen these online - usually done with the <code> tag in html. Is there an easy way to do ...

Spacing after Headings

I'm trying to figure out how to get my Stylesheet set up to have spacing after all headings. Currently, some of my headings have space after them and some do not.

Incremental Page Numbering (x.xx)

This is probably covered somewhere else in this forum, but because the search feature is so difficult to use, I will post it again.

For my printed output (Word), I'd like my page numbers to restart with each chapter. Example, "Chapter 1 Title - Page 1.01, 1.02, 1.03". Then, "Chapter 2 Title - Page ...

OK, your first suggestion worked great for online output, but as you mentioned, the image does not show up in printed outputs.

Note box in a bulleted list

I have note and example boxes that I use on a regular basis, but when I try to use them in a bulleted or numbered list, I end up with the note/example box being a separate bullet point.

This is what I have right now:

I would like to create note/caution/hint boxes with images filling the left-hand side. Using Flare 8, I created a new stylesheet from the 'modern' template, and I've tried all the settings that I can think of inside the Advanced view of the stylesheet with no luck. What am I missing?

I typically publish in WebHelp. Recently, we upgraded from Flare v7.2 to v8. For some reason, in version 8, WebHelp can't be built. As it processes the source files, it errors out.

It's not just Images - it's charts too.

Create decimal page numbers in Print TOC

What I'm trying to do is make my TOC page number look the same as my regular page numbers in the page footer. For example - in my footer, the page numbers will be 4.23 (Chapter 4, Page 23) but in the TOC it displays only as "23". Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks!

Wow. I never knew you could manually enter HTML via the internal text editor. There have been so many times I wished I could do that.

Re: Hyperlink to outside projects (v3.1)

Yeah, that second example is exactly what I'm trying to do, but it just doesn't work. And when I say, "Doesn't work" I mean, when I click on the link it brings up an error screen in IE. Perhaps it's something I'm doing wrong somewhere, because I'm setting it up just like the example shows to do.
