Sorry... This is for Web output.

Hello,

For the list's table cell, where in the advanced editor for the stylesheet do I go to reduce the space between the left margin and the bullet?list-style-position for the list within the td?

This is a one-row, two-column table. THANKS!!!!

I'm using Google Translate to do some quick and dirty translation of HTML5 output. I followed Jose Sermeno's helpful blog entry Plugging Topics into Google Translate (http://www.madcapsoftware.com/blog/2012/06/07/topics-into-google-translate/) and can select the appropriate languages to which to ...

I'd like to add the country flags of our 7 translated languages as buttons on the HTML5 skin toolbar. Clicking a flag would link the user to the current page in the translated language.

Our HTML5 is hosted as http://<our co>.com/help/<product>/<version>/<language><Help/index.html#welcome.html ...

I'm using the default style sheet with all of the defaults set.

I just published new HTML5 output to a new, empty folder on the FTP server within Flare. Why is the Flare publishing log saved out on the server in this new folder dated 2/13/2008, instead of today???

One of my developers just hit me with a bug stating that the links in my HTML5 output are not changing color after being clicked. I'm using 9.1.2 to publish to HTML5 and PDF.

He wrote:
"Chrome and Firefox Comparison of Links Changing Color to Indicate That it has been clicked

When using chrome and ...

OK, thanks! My Developers think I went back in time. 8)

FYI... This AM I built new HTML5 and PDF output then used FileZilla to refresh our FTP server. FileZilla refreshed the files as intended and posted the correct dates. And now when I just did a "Build and Publish" within 9.1.2, the FTP server ...

Bueller?

>And on the FTP server the files have all the old content / footer?
No. The updated files are there on the FTP server. It's just that the date is wrong.

>Did those files change in any way?
Yes, all the files changed. (Footer updates).

When publishing to our FTP doing a "Build and Publish", the files appear on the FTP but with the wrong dates ("1/30/2008" when I just published this morning). Any ideas how to fix that?

Thanks!

What's the best way to insert and manage writer comments within Flare content files? I'm referring to the helpful text about the changes we as writers are making to the files (when and why I made the change, for example). Visible in the XML Editor as well (but not in the published versions).

Thanks!

Thanks for responding! This issue was in fact due to an older version of Reader. I upgraded and it went away.

Update...

I can successfully search the PDF when I view the PDF within Flare (View Primary) but I cannot successfully search the PDF when the PDF is viewed in Reader outside of Flare.

I'm creating HTML5 and PDF output using 9.1.1. My HTML5 output is searchable but users cannot search the PDFs using Edit > Find in Adobe Reader.

I've scoured the this forum for answers but to no avail. What am I overlooking?

Thanks!

Cool! Thanks Jen!

Changing the Locale to Chinese worked; however, I'm still seeing English in the tabs on the UI (Contents, Index, etc.). Any ideas?

I'm trying to create Chinese CHMs and PDFs in Flare 9.1.1 and am experiencing that the TOC appears fine (in Chinese characters) but each topic either is displayed with non-Chinese characters or appears completely blank. The opposite is true with the PDF: TOC contains non-Chinese characters but the ...

Hi Jen,

Thanks for responding! So that we're on the same page, I need to find out how and where to edit the UI labels within the HTML Help Window (Hide, Locate, Back, Forward, Home, and Print) and also the tabs (Contents, Index, Search, Favorites). We're translating into Spanish, Swedish, German ...

I'm in the same boat. I thought selecting the appropriate language using the Language side-tab on the Target Editor would cause the text in the skin to be translated. Where do I find the labels that need to be localized for each language within the Skin editor?
