Especially problems #2 and #3.

Hi all,

I have some problems with my Glossary (one is I think a bug). I hope someone can help. I also think that the current 2 different options of entering and displaying glossry items each have built-in drawbacks that I descibe below - but maybe I am missing something.

This is a screenshot of my ...

Thank You Lydia and KC,

I finally got it to work more or less how I want it to.
KC, you have a typo in your example
h1.chapterNoBreak
page-break-before: avoid
mc-auto-number-format: GH:{n}.{n}.{n+}
The mc-auto-number-format should be just {n+}.

Also, your example shows that you are using ...

Hi,

After successfully creating single sourced PDF and HTML5 projects using auto-numbers I have moved on to other projects that (currently) only require PDF output.
And now I have discovered that selecting the "Chapter Break" setting in the TOC for a topic (on the Printed Output tab) causes the ...

Hi,
Thanks for the quick and detailed replies,
There's a command in Capture with which one can REPLACE the background image, so the English background image could be replaced with, say, the French background image, and then the callouts could be translated into French.
Is that the "Recapture Image ...

Hi,

I am using Flare 9.1 and Capture 6.0 to produce webhelp2 and PDF outputs.
I was really happy to find that I could single source my screenshots, and even use object layers to have cropped images in my PDFs and uncropped images in my webhelp outouts.
This of course is due to the fact that Capture ...

Yes, I am using IE8.
It doesn't happen in other browsers.
Don't know why I couldn't find that post.
Thanks for pointing it out.

Hi,

I am using Flare 9.1. In my HTML 5 output, the toolbar and search icons are repeating when you enlarge enlarge the window (ctrl +).
Is this a bug (and if so when will it be fixed), or is there a problem with my skin? As you can see, I am using the default icons so I did not change the default ...

Nita, you are a genius!

I tried your suggestion and was able to get the exact results that I wanted within minutes. The editing of each screenshot takes less than 30 seconds. The PDF is not bloated but is in fact smaller since the images that it contains are smaller (makes sense right :D ). The web ...

As I said in my original post:

Hi,

I am using Flare 9.1 and generating output for Web (HTML 5) and PDF, with all my files and images single-sourced.
For some screenshots in my PDFs, i want to crop the image so only a part of the image is shown, but also want that same image file to be fully displayed in the web output.
In ...

Hi,

I am using Flare 9.1, Mini Tocs, and autonumbering (see screenshot below).
In the PDF output I have managed to remove the underline from the entries, and the Mini Toc now looks almost how I want it.
But I cant for the life of me find how to make these changes:
1. Make only the text blue (so ...

It may be because of the content in the merged cell at the bottom of the table. If you remove the last row, does it resize to fit correctly?
Yes, the culprit is the last merged cell. If I remove the text, the remaining cells are resized correctly.
Looks like a problem with the behaivor of tables ...

Hi,

I have a probelm with some tables in my project.
2 tables in the same file, using exactly the same styles and XML tags are displaying differently in the print output XML editor (see screenshot below).
The main thing bothering me is the width of the first column in the first table. When I output ...

I just upgraded and evrything still works.
However, the indentation of several of my styles in the PDF output has changed (now indented more to the right).
I know that I did not make changes in my style sheet.
Did this happen to anyone else?

BTW, I canot find any detailed documentation (release ...

Hi all,

Clarification: The gradient is displayed correctly in all browsers except IE. I am using IE8, not IE9.

This is why there are three properties: background color (for browsers that don't support the gradient), gradient-start and gradient-end (for browsers that DO support the gradient. After ...

Hi,

I want to use the BackgrounGradient setting in my HTML 5 output.
But no matter what I set in the skin, the result in the output is not a gradient. It is just a solid color.
For example, the setting shown in the Main Page in the screenshot below does not produce a blue gradient for the main page ...

Fixed!

I opened Internet Explorer > Tools > Internet Options > Advanced and clicked Reset (in the "Reset Internet Explorer Settings" section).

Thanks!

No, resetting the window layout made no difference at all.
What controls the size of the font/contents in the Flare help panes?
I tried CTRL + but that makes no difference either.
Its quite annoying that i cant use the help inside the program (the web help generally has a very slow reaction time and ...

Hi,

In Flare 9, the help that opens inside Flare (in the main pane on the right side) has suddenly changed to use a very small font. I cant find any way to increase the fontsize to make the help readable.
The font size was ok until a few days ago, but then I must have hit a combination of keys and ...
