Thank you ajturnersurrey
This is exactly what I am trying to do... This definitely helps. I'll try this.

Thank you so much Nita. I had already thought of importing a stylesheet, but I was thinking of importing my language stylesheet from my main stylesheet. But the idea of doing the opposite is so much simpler!!
Thank you again.

Hi all, I am looking to find a good way to have an image on the right of a title, that I would be able to choose depending on context. This is to insert an icon, when needed, to state the type of content inside of a specific page of a PDF output. The example below shows an icon that is inserted beca...

Hi all, we use boxes for different purposes (notes, warnings, examples, etc.). In our example box, we are using the following "title" for the first line of the box : p.ExampleTitle::before { color: #546673; font-family: Roboto; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px; font-weight: 700; line-hei...

Hi, I found something that works well for HTML output:
*[xml\:lang |= "en"]
{
color: red;
}

But so far, no luck with PDF outputs. Anyone has an idea?

Hi, I am working on a project where I have to translate to 2 other languages. The project contains approx 20 targets already for the source language. Ideally, I would not duplicate the targets for what I am trying to do because I have very complex condition expressions for each target so that would ...

An example would be this: http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_mysql_select.asp That queries a table and spits out the results. That said, this will work only for online output and in that case you really do not need to inject that into a variable because the query results are generated dynamically eac...

Thanks Ramon... that was fast! when you say: You can do that with PHP. Embed PHP code in the page to connect to the database and query the tables, then prepare the results for output. could you share some PHP code examples? how do you put the query results in a variable value? Thanks again. Pascal

Hi, I have a project where I would need to use information from a database for use in Flare. Is there a module, or other tools i can use with Flare to query an external database and to put the query result as content to be used in Flare. For example, the machanical division of company X produces dif...

Thanks Amber, will try what you suggest... anyone has other ideas?

Hi all, I am unable to edit at a normal pace with Flare 8 because of its slowness. For example, I am currently editing a file of just under 10 KB. It often takes a few seconds to make a simple change, such as replacing a punctuation mark or selecting a word before replacing it. This happens whether ...

Dave, I have looked at the XHTML target type which, form what I understand, generate a single XHTML file. I have looked at the generated file and all my topics now there. You suggest to use a transfor XLST to produce my HTML. I was not familiare with XLST. by reading on the web, I now understand wh...

You can't remove the link from within Flare; also as it contains javascript to support WebHelp, if you simply remove it you may find some things stop working. If WebHelp isn't what you want, and you want to produce your own custom HTML-based output, then I would have a look at the XHTML book target...

What do you mean by kicking everything out...?

Thanks Dave, I will have a look at this.

I have a project where I only need HTML files. No skin, no CSS, nothing. My client will incorporate the generated HTML files in its equipment and does not want anything more. Now, when I generate my webhelp target, I have the following line inserted in each HTML file: <script src="../../SkinSup...
