Yes, I've tried that and other arrangements. It's always the last page in the documentation before the back cover page that does not print in the output. Strangest thing I've seen to date in Flare.

grendel

Thanks for the feedback. Conditions tags are not the problem anywhere in this particular topic, target, etc. The last topic page does now print. Adding an empty page does not resolve the problem. I've exhausted all known avenues, including digging into the XML code. Nothing seems out of the ordinary.

Target: enabled left page and empty pages
Condition/File tags in Topic: None.

I have snippet content that I want to present in the following two ways:

As part of a list of steps in one task/topic
4. text
a. text
b. text
c. text

For the other file, step 4.a. above would be step 1. I want it to do this:
1. text
2. text
3. text

Is there a way to tell the snippet to start ...

grendel

Yes, I figured that's what she's wanting, but it's not in this css. :)

The bit Nita's interested in is this:

MadCap|tocProxy
{
border-top-style: none;
border-top-width: 0px;
border-top-color: #ffffff;
mc-auto-number-position: none;
margin-top: 10px;
}

You don't seem to have anything set ...

In the code, I set the Div from inside to auto, and that seemed to fix it. When I looked at the Div in the Style Editor, it said Auto. Swear it.

grendel

Okay, I thought you'd meant something different than opening the file with Notepad++. I've played with several settings the past few days.

/*<meta />*/

body
{
font-family: Arial;
}

h1
{
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 14pt;
font-family: Verdana;
}

h2
{
font-size: 12pt;
font-family: Verdana ...

Forgive me, but I don't know how to get that code for you from the stylesheet.

grendel

The tocproxy was the very first place I looked. I checked and rechecked the settings there. I even looked at the code. I couldn't see anything out of the ordinary. However, here's the code. Maybe there is something there that you can see.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Yes, the TOC is more than 1 page in length in the output. No, it's not in the Div style. :( I even looked at the Generic Pseudo Classes before, after, and inside. Changed the Avoid to Auto. The content still breaks after the toc title. The frustrating thing is that I told the CSS exactly how to ...

Go away Yahoo [bot]; I see you browsing the forum.

Using Flare 10.2
Checked all breaks, orphans, widows, styles, etc., and compared to same file another project; all settings are identical
Checked the TOCproxy; looks as it should
Checked page layouts and print mediums; looks as it should.
Using styles.css style sheet

Why are the table of contents ...

Version: Flare 10

EDITED TO ADD: Changed the Medium to Print and found where the problem lies. What a PITA. :lol:

I'm creating a new project from the Flare template. I updated the h1 heading style in the CSS as follows:

Original
- font type= Arial, font size 18, font weight=regular, font color ...

We did it a small test to import a few topic files from the broken working copy to the new working copy, and it seems to go off without a hitch. We were able to get the new content added/committed to SVN. We're going to finish the task in small batches in case we encounter any problems.

In the ...

Anyone have an answer or some thoughts to share on the main topic?

Thanks lots!

Flare itself does not provide source control, it can only act as a client to source control systems such as Subversion.

That is correct, and we are not using the Source Control feature in Flare.

Good idea. No, we are not, unless you count SubVersion (Yes, they let me play with technology.

). We are not using the Source Control provided with Flare.

One of our writers was working in a local copy that was originally connected to the main project in SVN. At some point (around the time we upgraded from V9 to V10), the URL for this working copy was broken, and the writer did not realize it. Thus, the writer continued to develop new content and ...

grendel

I didn't think so after I'd tried a few different combinations. I feel that this needs to be a feature request. It would be nice if I could run reports that list the Target, associated TOC, topics files included and the paths to these topics. I'm getting ready to completely overhaul how we manage ...

grendel

I'd like to generate reports for each TOC in a project. On this report, I want to see the topic files and paths, plus any snippet file names and paths. I can generate a report for the TOC - Primary Target, but not the remaining TOCs. Is there a workaround to get the report I want other than changing ...

grendel

Thanks! What is completely mindboggling is that the footer content stops showing up mid-topic in some cases. It makes NO sense whatsoever.

Also, the footer content can go missing mid-topic onward. I've looked at the code and found nothing out of the ordinary. MadCap.com is down. I'll contact support tomorrow.

We're on V.9.1.2 after recently upgrading from V8.

Thanks for the feedback.

I haven't yet contacted support, but that is on the list if all else fails.

Checking the breaks in the tables is also on the list, but I don't think that's it. Why? The problem occurs with a specific topic file, which may ...

grendel

A quick update:

We have several issues going on; however, I believe the main source of our problem is page breaks in <h1> and the tables. I removed style=page-break-before: always;" variables from the <h1> tag, and this fixed it until the topic hit a table, which does not want to break correctly ...
