Thanks, Dave, for your very clear answer. I think I'll take your first suggestion to condition out new content in a topic, rather than the whole topic.

What I'm thinking is that when there are extensive updates to a topic, but those updates aren't ready yet for prime time:
1) Duplicate the ...

Hi, Forum.

Just wondering what the standard build behavior is in the following scenario:

1) Build the entire project that includes topics A, B, C, and D.
2) Make changes to the contents of topic A and save the topic, but the changes aren't complete yet.
3) Condition topic A as "In Progress", which ...

OMG, you're right! That was it. After changing the text settings to 100% I had to sign out of Windows and then back in again - and it worked.

Thank you so much.

Hi Everyone.

I have a project that uses the Balboa template, which only came with an HTML5 target. I added a PDF target. The problem is that the fonts in the PDF are without kerning and so there is inconsistent space between characters, and it looks really odd. One of the things I tried was ...

Hi,

I have a large Flare project and I would like to produce a list of all places where a specific conditional tag appears. I would rather not do a search for the tag - is there an easier way?

I'm using Flare 12 and do not have Analyzer...

Thanks,

It works! Thank you so much for this. I didn't realize that display.none shows in the TOC.

Well, learn something new every day

Appreciated.

Hi, Forum.

Is there a way to include a word in the TOC that doesn't appear in the actual heading in the PDF?

Specifically, I want to add the word "NEW" to an entry in the TOC, but I don't want it appearing as part of the H2 in the topic itself. Can that be done?

Thanks for your help,

Yossi Karp

Still hoping for any suggestions...

Hi,

Does anyone know how to include an image in the TOC?

I have topics that I want to highlight as "key features", so I want to
include a little icon in the TOC to indicate that these topics are
important.
I tried the following, but none of these worked:

- Added the icon to the heading - it ...

Hi,

When I import corrections to a Lingo project from Contributor, I do: File > Review > Import Review Package. The "Manage Tracked Changes" wizard automatically appears, which is good because I can see the comments that the Reviewer made. However, I do NOT want to accept or reject the changes ...

Hi, All.

I have a figure caption format as follows:

mc-auto-number-format: 'CF:Figure {n+} ';

Is it possible to create a cross reference to only the {n+} part of the auto-number so that I can write: See figures 1 through 5?
Right now I have to write: See Figure 1 through Figure 5.

Thanks ...

Nita,

It works! Such a simple, yet stress-relieving solution

Thank you so much,

I know that this is an old thread, but I'm having the same issue (Flare 11) and I can't quite figure out how to solve the problem for my PDF output.

I also want to keep the word "page" and the page number together in the x-ref. I tried following the advice given by kwag_myers, but the characters ...

yossikarp

Thank you both for your replies.

I observed the same issue even after implementing both of your solutions. I realized that since the "back to top" only worked when the window size was reduced, there must be a setting somewhere that causes this. Indeed, I was right. In the Target file, in the Skin ...

Hi. I created a "back to top" link for my HTML5 output, using the code below. Interestingly, it works only when the browser window is maximized. If I reduce the size of the window, clicking the graphic does nothing.

I put the following code in the <body> section of the Master page:

<a style ...

Thank you for your reply.

I didn't realize that Flare would not include related items that were excluded - that is all I needed to know. I thought I'd have to condition each individual related item inside the code to make it show or not show. But I see now that this is not necessary if the topic ...

yossikarp

Hi,

In Flare 11, what is the easiest way to condition individual items inside a Related Items control?

I can manually add the code, but I am really hoping there is an easier way.

Thanks,

I am having performance issues with Flare 11 and SVN 1.8 (and Tortoise 1.8). Whenever I try to save, insert an image, or perform similar tasks, Flare stops responding. It (almost) always starts responding again after a while. The Flare project works fine when I'm off-line (not connected to SVN).

I ...

I experienced this issue in Flare 10 when generating HTML5 output. The registry tweak solved the problem - thanks!

yossikarp

Thanks - it's a good tip and I'll keep it in mind. Hopefully that practice will prevent the issue from occurring again.

Hi, Forum.

Has anyone had an issue with some images appearing at their original size in the Exported (translated) Flare project, even if the image was reduced in size (using Capture) in the original English Flare project?

To deal with this problem, I have to open the image from my Exported ...

Hi, all.

In one of my topics there are two footnotes - one is outside a table and one is inside a table. The footnote outside the table appears first in the topic, and so should be footnote 1. However, the footnote outside the table always appears as footnote number 2, and the footnote inside the ...

Thank you for your answers. Kwag_myers, I appreciate the effort you went to to check out using p.TOC6. Do you have a good resource for implementing VBS scripts in Flare - sounds intriguing .

I think that the idea if building in a bookmark to every figure snippet is a clever idea. The problem with ...

yossikarp

Hi, Forum.

I was wondering if there is any way I could get Flare to automatically create a bookmark for every p.figure_caption style I create? Flare automatically recognizes heading styles as "cross-reference-able", so I was thinking that there might be some way to also make figure captions ...

yossikarp

Thank you, all. This has been a great discussion and I learned something from each of you.

I do use the Group button to apply the DIV. I changed the DIV to only page-break-avoid: inside.
I will also adjust my styles to help avoid the need to use the DIVs, although I will still sometimes have to use ...
