Is the Project > Project Properties > Language set to French (Belgium)?

Not good practice to post the same request in more than one folder (I answered your first post).

In the XML Editor, click the down arrow at the Show Tags icon (next to last icon on the right, just above the topic pane), then deselect Show Markers.

However, what you have there is an empty span tag, which should actually be deleted.

Hope this helps,

As it turns out, the behavior only happens on local machines, but not the production version on our server. So, it looks like we're only affected in our own QA work, but the customer-facing output should be fine.

Disappointing result from MadCap support on this issue: I was able to reproduce the behavior here. Please note that I have submitted a Bug Report on your behalf (#89818) with our development team and you will be notified via email if a fix for this is included in a future patch or release version. A...

Flare 10.2, HTML5 The subentries under the first result persist under the results for subsequent entries. For example, type "Agent" and get: Agent First Second Third However, if you then type "Appliance" you first get those three "Agent" subentries, followed by the two ...

A "mailto:" JavaScript file (which we called feedback_script.js) worked for us. The link in each topic or in a master page would look like this in the code: <script src="feedback_script.js" language="javascript" type="text/javascript" xmlns="http://www.w3...

Oh, I get it.

A secondary issue is getting rid of the empty first page.

I'd also like to hear from anyone who can solve the empty first page when printing online help pages. And, Nita, a "print" and "printPDF" media work quite well, as we've recently found.

*** Unfortunately, this "fix" of mine did not persist (it's BACK!). I'll be submitting a bug report to Flare immediately. *** Flare 10.2, HTML5 output, Skin toolbar set to display the ExpandAll button (in the Selected pane). In the output, the CollapseAll button was incorrectly displayed (...

Yeah, Dave, I discovered the Print Background Colors and Images option in the IE Print > Page Setup dialog just yesterday. As to: mediums don't apply to a built PDF I've recently added a printPDF medium for specific image and list differences; the PDF targets call for that medium and it works great!...

Copy and paste between the CSS files in Flare Text Editor or Notepad.

Hope this helps

Reopening this post because I'm having trouble with the whole "print" thing. We have a p.Note style with a left border, background shading, and background image. Print results are: In HTML5: Border, shading, and image appear in Web view (IE 11 and Chrome 38), but only the border appears wh...

There's a similar issue in V10.2 (intermittently unable to type in either or both Find/Replace text boxes):

Please file a bug report. Your V9 bug might have carried over into V10.

Courier and Courier New (monospace fonts) have a larger line-height value, by default, than the other serif and sans-serif fonts. (Monospace also applies to the font characters' increased width, as you already know.) To test this for yourself, assign one of each font to two versions of the same mult...

No, Nita, that option is not selected, thx.

In the Skin Editor, General tab, Features panel, which feature is defined as the default? You want to see "TOC (default)" instead of "Index (default)" or "Glossary (default)" in there. To change this setting, simply select the feature (in your case, "TOC") and...

Nita, thx for responding. There is nothing in our CSS for those elements; nor are there any mc-heading-level settings for h2, which does appear in the print mini-TOC. Does Flare only compile one head level as default, unless you have specifically set levels for each head? They don't say anything in ...

I can't get the TOC depth in a print miniTOC to go beyond the default level 2 (h2's under the h1, where the proxy is placed). The h3's and h4's are being ignored. The settings are: Right click proxy in the topic > Edit MiniTOC Proxy window TOC Depth of 4 CSS file > @media print > MadCap|miniTocProxy...

Been there (.NET repair), done that...no joy!

Last week, I read a "guru" posting that listed the order in which elements should be positioned in the "Default" medium of the style sheet (links first, then paras, dynamics last, etc.?). Now, of course, I can't find it again when I really need it! Could the guru who posted it pl...

Same problem here. Sometimes it won't accept typing after several successful uses, other times it happens at the very first try after opening the project. Support "couldn't replicate" (Case 64034, 8/5/2014), so we're left with composing text in Notepad and pasting it into the boxes (yes bo...

My guess is that "defaults come from" the HTML standard, which is interpreted for good or ill by the browsers.

I also like the idea of not working in the default, so as not to inadvertently influence one or both of the "custom" media.

Thx to you and Dave.

Thx for chiming in, Dave. By "common style properties" in the (default) medium, do you mean things like p {line-height: 10pt;} and so forth? So, for everything else (with or without [default]), it seems like I would go with these three (in a single CSS): @media non-print @media print @medi...

[First time working with PDF output, in addition to online] I've inherited a style sheet that contains: [default] @media print [some other default stuff] @media non-print From the posts I've read, it seems that best practice is to use default (base) first, and then @media print (no @media non-print)...
