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...

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...

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.

Pardon me for bringing up the dead. We're in a situation where, for branding and aesthetic reason, we can't break between certain words. If we try editing the .fltar target file in a text editor, putting in the entity code (even as hex) causes Flare to balk at the &. We're running Flare 12. Can...

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

Also, to the topic being linked to, open the topic properties from the Content Explorer. In the Topic Properties tab, what do you have in the Topic Title box?

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...

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.

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...

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...

And just to clarify, you'll need to adjust the GTM code as necessary. There may be other elements are are needed in there.

I just read in another post that someone was having trouble with GTM affecting page load time. If you want to insert the GTM script reference at the bottom of the external frame file rather than in the head section, use this code snipped in your skin file instead: $(document).ready(function () { $('...

As you've discovered, the MasterPage applies only to the content within the content iFrame in TriPane output. To make changes to the external frame, you'll need to use javascript or jquery in the TriPane skin file. This actually creates a separate javascript file that gets called from the external f...

Have you tried the download attribute? This has worked for me in the past. https://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_a_download.asp I don't think there is an option in the Flare interface for this, so you'd need to do it in your HTML code. It would look something like this: <a href="MyXSD.xsd" do...

I'm a little confused by this question. Font Awesome icons themselves aren't hosted in your project, so excluding content from the target shouldn't have anything to do with whether Font Awesome works or not. I'm not an FA expert by any means, but I've used in successfully in a number of different pr...

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...

I've upgraded to Flare 2017 for a couple projects that are bound to bitbicket-hosted GIT repos, and I haven't had any problem. I'm not using Flare to do the source control operations though. I'm using Source Tree for that.

You can use the mc-pagenum-display property in the stylesheet to remove the page number and leading from TOC levels. For example, if you wanted the h1s to show up without page numbers in the TOC, you could put this in your stylesheet: p.TOC1 { mc-pagenum-display: none; } Not sure this solves the ent...

Hi Paul,

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.

It's certainly a stylesheet problem, not a topic problem. Tables have a lot of HTML tags in them, and they can be very tricky from a style standpoint as a result. That's why I mentioned that your best option is to look at the css styles that the browser is applying when you look this topic in your o...

RE responsiveness: In CSS, you can have different CSS properties apply to the same HTML elements based on certain media queries, such as screen width. When you say that the table is fine when you resize the screen, it makes me wonder if you have a media query in your CSS file that applies one set of...

To me, it looks like you're missing part of your variable syntax. You've referenced the variable name, but not the variable set. For example, if this variable was in a variable set named MyAwesomeVariables , the proper TOC syntax would be [%=MyAwesomeVariables.TITLE%] . Open the Variables folder in ...

My guess is that your paragraph styles that are applied to your list paragraphs are adding extra padding or margin. We'd have to see your list paragraph styles to know for sure. Have you considered using actual <ol>, <ul>, and <li> tags instead of paragraph classes for your lists? See this discussio...

Hi Jim, If I'm understanding your requirement correctly, I think this might be quite simple. Flare saves topic templates in user-defined template folders. When a user is creating a new topic, Flare scans the template folders and presents their files as templates available for the user to select. So ...
