Ah, OK. Thank you Nita for the confirmation.

Hello,
I have some bookmarks in a topic, and hyperlinks to these topic.htm#bookmarks. Nothing special, it works fine in pdf and webhelp outputs.
But, inside Flare, when I ctrl-click the hyperlink (or right-click > open link), the topic is open, OK, but the cursor is still in the h1, it's not located ...

Would there be a technical reason, with top-navigation skin, that prevents the selected filter to be the title of the filter dropdown, like in tripane outputs?
Does someone know why this has this been designed like that with top-nav?
Maybe the width of the selected filter is too large for mobile ...

We often use the tabber CSS to "fake" tabs so that we have the "tabs" all in separate topic files, and the tabbed part in a snippet that goes in all the topics - this works with search.

Margaret, sorry, I don't understand what you mean.
You mean the 3 contents (the panels with the code) would be ...

I have to illustrate programming features with, for each one of them, 3 code samples in different languages, C++, .NET and ActiveX.
I would like to expose the samples as 3 tabs. When you'd click a tab, a div containing the code would be displayed (and the other ones would be hidden).
I can do it ...

Hello,
In the HTML5 outputs, all dropdown texts are automatically closed by default. The user needs to click the head to open the dd. Most of the time, this behavior is appropriate.
But I'd like to expose a software doc just like MSDN does. Everything is expanded when you load the page. For instance ...

Wow, thanks!
I didn't realize that indeed, every definition contains a gradient specification. And you also enlighten me about PIE, and hence links to PIE.htc I already saw somewhere.
So, in theory, thoses styles are useful (except a possible bug) for users who would use IE v6-9 (you never know ...

Using Flare 11 and HTML5 outputs...
In the <head> of any Default.htm file, there's a <style> tag containing css styles definitions. For example:
.button.print-button
{
-pie-background: url('Skins/Default/Stylesheets/Images/printer.png') no-repeat center center, linear-gradient(#313131, #313131 ...

Hi everyone,
There's no "save log" button anymore in the Builds pane of v11.
There's an "open build log" button, and indeed the log opens, but there's no file in the Project Organizer/Reports folder, as with v10.
So my question is: how to save that log in a permanent file in the Reports folder (with ...

I've dragged-and-dropped a PDF in my fltoc (back cover of manual). Automatically, Flare has added a toc entry in the fltoc, which is the PDF filename without extension: back-cover. OK.
When i build the PDF output, i find that entry (back-cover) in the bookmarks pane.
My question is: is there a way ...

mhd

Sorry, could you explain basically what you need as outputs?
You already have a complete online help (I guess HTML5 target?), and you need some chapters to be printed by some users. So you would provide in your HTML5 output links to PDF of some chapters, because printing 1 PDF of -let's say- 20 ...

To be printed, PDF documents must have a number of pages divisible by four.
So far, I get the right number by tweaking manually vertical spaces, or by adding an empty topic in the toc where I want an "extra" blank page. And when the content changes (impacting length of topics), I have to re-adjust ...

I experiment quite the same limitation in page-break application.

I have defined in my css:
.NoBreakInside{page-break-inside: avoid;}
And, at some places in my topics, I surround paragraphs with a div.NoBreakInside, just to be sure they're kept together in the output. It works perfectly.
But those ...

I contacted the support and, as usual, they quickly found a workaround.

The problem is related to the Language Preferences (PrÃ©fÃ©rences linguistiques). The primary language must be set to English (United States). If the other region and language settings are set "as recommended" by Windows (that ...

No, it's not.
I try to import from an empty Flare interface. There's no project open at this stage. Project > Project Properties is grayed off.
I do Project > Imports > FrameMaker Documents... then i select the fm file, leave other settings by default (except the "new topic" style), and the problem ...

Working with Windows 8, I need to import a fm file into a new Flare project.
It all goes well until the preview of imported elements: most of characters are corrupted. For instance, "PrÃ©paration de lâ€™enrÃ´lement dâ€™un pÃ©riphÃ©rique" has become "PrÃƒÂ©paration de lÃ¢Â€Â™enrÃƒÂ´lement dÃ¢Â€Â™un ...

Hello everyone,
I have a 2-columns body frame in my page layout.
I would like my h1 to span across the two columns. Is it possible? Is there a CSS property to do that?
Thanks in advance for any hint.

Thanks for reply, kwag_myers. Sorry, I'm not sure to understand your example.

The 3 user groups share the same collection?
This collection contains -let's say- 4 movies, for procedures A, B, C, D?
The A, B, C, D movies would be conditioned (in each movie properties, marked A, B, C, or D)?
In the ...

mhd

Does anyone know why there is this Conditions tab in the Collection Editor, where you can include/exclude conditions?

From Flare, I understand that 1) you mark elements with conditions at almost any level inside the project, 2) at the target level, you exclude/include these marked elements.
In ...

I experienced a few problems trying to use Flare variables and conditions in a Mimic collection of movies.
Mimic 7.0.2 and Flare 10.1.0.

I linked my collection to a Flare project featuring 1 set of variables and 1 set of condition tags.

I expected that linked Flare conditions and variables would ...

mhd

Another strange thing (bug?) about default conditions is that, on every "raw timeline element" of my movies (cursors, rectangles just after recording), Mimic assigned
-on cursors: Movie.Demo and Collection.Demo conditions;
-on rectangles: Movie.Practice and Collection.Practice conditions...
Where ...

mhd

I created a collection and recorded some movies into it.
Mimic assigns default conditions to the collection: Collection.Advanced and Collection.Beginner.
I tried to delete them from the collection editor (Condition Tags tab), and it worked. But they came back when I reopened my collection the next ...

I try to append, via the page layout, a last left page in my pdf targets. This page is not an empty page, it has content (logo, addresses, colophon). And it has to be published in every manual, with, if needed, the automatic insertion of a blank right page before.
I'd like Flare to:
- if the manual ...
