Re: Auto-remove broken links from output
I haven't looked into relationship tables but may need to. Any time someone asks us to generate a new PDF document using existing content this becomes an issue. What should be a matter of a few minutes making a new TOC becomes a huge headache of going through and seeing what links need to be removed...

Re: condition tag background color not appearing
In the topic editor, click the Show Tags icon (looks like <t> )and select Show Conditional Indicators. Apologies for necroing an old thread but thank you! I just reinstalled Flare on a new computer and could not figure out why conditionals were no longer showing up. IMO this should be toggled on by...

Re: margins on nested lists
You might want to try padding-left. For example: ul, ol { padding-left: 30px; } You don't need to apply it to each nesting level. If you style ul, it will also style ul ul and ul ul ul. The other thing to look at is whether your lists are nested inside a div or paragraph that has padding on it. If y...

Re: It's almost 2019, why is nth-of-type not supported?
Thanks Steve. I've done that, but was hoping to get some more comments or suggestions by others who would like to see this working correctly. Maybe I'm in a minority of users who prefer maintaining their own stylesheets outside of Flare.

It's almost 2019, why is nth-of-type not supported?
So nth-of-type selectors work just fine in HTML output because it's implemented by the browser... but Flare itself has zero support for it, either in the preview or in print/PDF output. Can we get some love here? I would really like to replace the bulky Flare table stylesheets with more concise CSS,...

Re: Specifying the language in the <HTML> Tag for Accessibil
I think a lot of us would like to see this change to tripane. If we set the language for the project, it should set it in the html tag for the entire project, not just for the iframed topics. Don't think this is an issue in top nav since there aren't any iframes to worry about.

Re: Top nav flyout menu expands off the screen to the left
I'm having the same issue, only to the right. Spent a couple minutes poking around the JavaScript and it looks like it's not evaluating the width until the second time you hover over an expanded element. Weird. Wish I knew more about debugging to try and figure out what the issue is. It only happens...

Re: Using a ditaval profile to generate conditional output
I'm wondering this too... I don't understand why Flare can't be configured to produce DITA output using regular conditionals, as well. I get that DITA has its own way of handling conditions, but there's no logical reason why Flare can't generate the DITA output using its own set of rules.

Re: Bottom border of tables that break across pages in PDF
Oh. You are awesome. I do almost all of my stylesheet editing in notepad++ so was not aware of that option. It wasn't set for the default media, but had somehow gotten in there for @media print. Problem solved! Thank you!

Bottom border of tables that break across pages in PDF
When I have a table that breaks across pages, the bottom border of the table is not printing on the pages where the table continues onto the following page. How can I specify to include this border at all times when the row is not broken? Thanks.

Flare browser/editor fonts on Windows 8
I just moved from a Windows 7 machine to a Windows 8 one, and noticed that fonts in the internal Flare WYSIWYG editor look very different. I'm just using Arial for our HTML5 output. Underlines (various styles have them at various line heights) are appearing shifted up, sometimes even through the bot...

Re: Keyboard Shortcuts for Applying or Unbinding Styles?
1) Select the table rows and columns. 2) Right-click and select "Cell Content Style." 3) Pick the appropriate style (in my situation, it was <td>), and click OK. All table cells now are formatted with the base style. OMG, thank you. I have a massive table full of <p> tags to convert.
