Update We've been using this filter successfully for nearly three years but recently I had a problem where I was unable to merge, rebase or cherry-pick in Git. After a lot of head scratching and lost sleep, it turned out that this filter is now causing me problems. For now I'm working around it by ...

I can confirm that this is what happens when you paste content into Flare. I've discovered a related but different problem today. When Flare generates output, it seems to replace some spaces in the source files with tabs in the output. Since my company has an aggressive pull request check for files ...

I have a Flare project that uses a TOC proxy so that we can generate a PDF with the TOC on page three (following the front page and copyright page). While the TOC for my target has two levels, the TOC in the output has a single level. I tried enabling the Advanced target option to *Use TOC depth for...

Hi, I have a lot of code examples to add to the help. Flare has an unfortunate habit to replacing the spaces in the code with tabs.

With a trial version, knowing that it scrambles some output, it's difficult to know if that's also what the problem with the import of HTML files is. Putting the Pandoc-generated HTML in...

Thanks for your reply, it's good to know that it works OK for other users. After trying all sorts of things out, I eventually found a solution. My laptop screen has a high resolution and this makes the fonts rather small to read. It was set up with the display size set to the default of Medium (125%...

As a long-term Captivate user, I'm evaluating Mimic at a new company because movie collections and conditions seem as if they would really helpful to us. However, I'm seeing some really odd problems with Mimic. Firstly, when I watch the training videos all the bubble captions have a rectangular butt...
