What do you mean when you refer to "HTML5 server-based help"?

Hi, can someone please enlighten me as to the difference between HTML5 vs. WebHelp and why I would choose one over the other? Also, same question applies to WebHelp vs. WebHelp Plus.

Thank you!

You guys are awesome. I hadn't even thought of that workaround. Thank you Dave! Worked like a charm.

Anyone?

Hi there.

I currently have most of my images set with a style that uses thumbnails for web output, meaning they appear on screen small or smaller and blurry, until users click on the image and then it pops up and appears large and clear with the nice quality I created in the file itself.

With ...

Hi all. I have v10

I'm using hundreds of snippets in my documentation. Some of these snippets are designed for a specific purpose: to be the overview in a topic and to be inserted in a table where I summarize all such topics. These snippets sometimes use single paragraphs and sometimes include ...

I have one global project and a whole bunch of others based on that project. From the global project, I'm connected to TFS. I don't know if any of this is relevant - just giving what I know. I'm using Flare 10.2.

99.9% of the time, when I right-click a topic and select Delete (and I DO want it ...

So every single time you apply a condition, you also apply a span class?

Also what about cases where an entire chapter is conditioned?

Thanks,

Hi all. I have a condition for my upcoming version. When I publish for drops and the content isn't ready yet, I exclude the content. Easy.

Now, I want to send the output for review and I want the output to have the conditioned text highlighted so the reviewers can easily identify the text without ...

Hi all. I know some of you may disagree with me, but I believe that there are certain instances in which a variable always needs to be formatted the same way. I have a case like that: I always want font formatting applied identically to the same variable (company name for example), in which case, I ...

Dear friends, I inherited over 600 topics with procedures that have multiple levels. Much to my dismay each level is a separate list, not embedded in its parent list, so as you can imagine, I have little to no control over the formatting. You can see the example I've attached to the post.

When I ...

Yes I;m positive I want to do this. In most cases these should be merged and there are hundreds of topics like this.

What FAR do I need and does it cost money?

Hi all.

I'm trying to clean up my topics and get rid of all this manual stuff that was entered by my predecessor.

I need to find/replace the following in order to complete delete it:
</ol>
<ol>

This is exactly how it appears in multiple topics.

How can I search for multiple lines?

Marjorie, how do you "strip" the topic-specific stylesheets?

Hi all. After researching and reading the guides, I can't even remember why anymore, but I came to the conclusion that I need to update the Stylesheets for my topics individually, one by one (as opposed to setting it in the Target). On the other hand, I wanted to do so for multiple files ...

Thanks for your help guys. Dave Lee was right. Gotta use Tools per topic. Doing a Build did not do it automatically - which is what I was expecting, and which is why I posted the initial question.

In my project (which I inherited with a huge mess), the Madcap xref style is correctly defined as blue underlined, but most of the xrefs in the file appear as black. I redefined the xref style on one reference and reapplied and it works great. When I go to another misformatted xref and click Edit ...

Thanks for checking it out and for the help!

Great. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Hi guys. The Help isn't really helping me. :(

I checked out your advice and this is where I am: it is true that inside the tables, like anywhere else, the snippet keeps it's own formatting if it's a block snippet.

BUT I can't seem to figure HOW to insert it as a BLOCK on the first try inside a ...

I'll give it a try. Thank you!!

Hi all.

I'm new to Flare …

I created snippets for terms that repeat themselves in several topics. For one snippet I didn't have the information, so I created it with one word inside, inserted it in all the relevant topics and then intended to go back and update later. These snippets mostly ...
