Version 7.0.1 and I checked for updates before writing

I'm certain I am missing a very simple something...but I cannot display an editing panel that I used to use all the time. I've been away from work and Flare for a couple months and returning today, I cannot display/use a style panel that ...

Hi all. I see that I did not word my comment very well. You are very right about topic files.

What I "meant to say" were two different situations...and I am learning.

1. The comment lines I want to keep in my compiled topics, but which are removed all the time, are copyright statements and date ...

Done. I think I added a bug request on a similar item before this...concerning unused topics showing up in the output, as well as losing comment lines in my topics during compiles. All-in-all, a good product...just a few cleanups would be nice!

Did you already put an enhancement request for that?

Thanks for the quick replies. I do use the variables and conditions features for the current documentation, soI am familiar with the features. That's the way I was planning to go when the rebranding issue came up.

I will add a feature request.

Do either of you (or anyone else) know of any ...

My company's software interface is about to be rebranded for one of our customers and for others in the future, I hear. To keep up with engineering, I will need to rebrand the documentation - pdf and help files - for each customer that requests their own logos and corporate branding on our product ...

Madcap - Could you weigh in on this, please?

Can a comment line survive the compile? If so, where does it need to go in the input file to survive? If not, is it already on the list for improvements in future releases?

Thanks...Kim

Hmmm...are we talking about the same thing? (Great!! if we are...)

I want to have a notice of copyright and ownership in each of the raw xml files I deliver in a web help system for my client. So I added a comment line to the topic template I use, thinking it would stay in the compiled topics I ...

are you adding it to the individual files or the master page?

Stuff I've added to my master pages is usually left intact.

I have a copyright symbol and link that appear on all topics via Master pages, visible in the help when open. But this does not appear in my html files...the raw code files ...

On the same track, I have noticed that the comment line I have added to top of the file:

<!-- Copyright 2006-2007 by ActiVia Networks, Inc. All Rights Reserved. -->

is missing after the compile. My output files do not contain my copyright statement.

I have located the comment line below the xml ...

I posted a \"bug\" (thank you for the link).

...and tried to conditionalize the CVS folders. Unfortunately, this caused a source folder to become \"lost\"...just disappeared...even before I was able to build. I don't know what happened to it. Flare gave me a pop-up error window (sorry I did not ...

Hi all. I have to weigh in with jbarwick on the annoying extra files in a Publish (and build) procedure.

I am trying to keep my project files in our CVS system. (I realized there is no point to adding the Output files to source control...no problem there.) BUT...CVS adds a folder to my source ...
