Re: Shared directory as output destination
Have a look at Google Drive File Stream. It allows you to map Google Drive as a drive on your computer. By default, it shows up as your G: drive. Once that's in place, you can select a folder in that drive as your publishing destination, and it will automatically update the files on the Google Drive...

Re: Weird Cross References in PDF Format
I'm glad that you've got it figured out. Using {filename} as the mc-format was the issue. Changing it to {title} may work for you, but in most xref formats that I've worked in over the years use {paratext}. There are some advantages to using that over {title}, such as if you want to link to a subhea...

Re: Cross Reference Auto Number
You might be able to do this using the text-transform property on your xref style.
That's going to apply lowercase to your entire xref though, so it might be too blunt if you're also including the table description in your xref.
Code: Select all
MadCap|xref
{
text-transform: lowercase;
}

Can you post what CSS declarations you have in your MadCap|xref style?

What you're looking for is called a "tag" in most source control systems. A tag is basically just a label that you place on a specific commit. In your case, you could choose the last commit you made prior to your production build, and tag that commit with your version number. You didn't sp...

Re: TOPIC IN BOOK BUT NOT WANTED IN TOC
Create a class in your stylesheet with the mc-heading-level property set to 0, and then assign that class to the headings you want out of the TOC.
CSS will look something like this:
Then just assign the noTOC class to your headings.
CSS will look something like this:
Code: Select all
@media print

.noTOC

mc-heading-level: 0;

Re: Large images in table cells causing problems in Print ou
It's hard to tell, but I would start with adjusting (or preferably, removing) the inline styles that you have set for the table and column widths. In the <table> tag, you've got "style="width: 530px,"" which is restricting the overall width of the table to 530px. In the <col> tag...

Re: Positioning the logo in a skin
You can set the margin (or negative margin if needed) in the stylesheet. Assuming you're using the TopNav skin, the CSS selector for the logo is: .tab-bar-section a.logo So you could add something like this right to your stylesheet: .tab-bar-section a.logo { margin-left: -50px; } or whatever the mar...

As you've discovered, the MasterPage applies only to the content within the content iFrame in TriPane output.

Re: Table widths in Help and printed output
Hi Barry, My recommendation would be to convert your absolute pixel column widths to percentages in your table stylesheet. For example, you could set the table to take 100% of its available width, then set column 1 to take 20% and column 2 to take 80%. These tables and columns then adjust themselves...

You can use the mc-pagenum-display property in the stylesheet to remove the page number and leading from TOC levels.

I don't work on Windows 10, but I have a client who does, and he's run into some similar issues that you identify. In my client's case, he switched his screen resolution to 100% (it was at 200%), then rebooted his computer, and the issues were resolved.
