TOC used in other TOCs
We have three targets: A: User and Admin topics B: Admin only topics C: User only topics B and C are used in a new version of the software where the Admin help is controlled by user roles. Older versions still use A. Currently, if I make a change in TOC A (User and Admin), I add the change to the TO...

Online Help PDF - Hide the URL at the Bottom
When you in the Online Help and click the Print button, the PDF that is generated displays the URL at the bottom of the page. Is there a way to hide it or display something else?

Re: Online Help Print Button produce blank page first
I identified the problem. The stylesheet is for web and print. In the @media print section, h1 is set as page-break-before: always; I add @media pdf, h1 page-break-before: avoid; and it didn't work. Any ideas how to get it to work? But then again, I don't want it to work that way for PDF Targets I w...

Online Help Print Button produce blank page first
In our online help we have a standard Print button in the toolbar. When it is clicked it should produce a PDF of the current topic, but in this project it produces a blank page and then the topic. What is really strange is that in a clone of the project (or at least it should be) it prints without t...

Re: Word Output displaying CSS
After troubleshooting I found the problem was in my stylesheet. I had moved the print styles to a separate stylesheet but I didn't remove @media print and the brackets { } around the code. After deleting @media print and the brackets TWNote no longer displays in print output. Yea! I'll take your adv...

Lingo Lessons Learned? Tips?
Hi,
We have several MadCap projects and we are looking into purchasing Lingo. As I've worked with MadCap over the years I have compiled a list of tips, do's and don't and work arounds. Anyone have any tips for when you first start working with Lingo? Any issues that you run into?
Thanks!

Re: How do you display an HTML5 build without tabs
Thanks, that's what I thought. Now I hope they can figure out how to do it
I've also seen it where it slides out from the right side about 4 inches.

How do you display an HTML5 build without tabs
I've seen this at another company and I can't figure out how to duplicate it. When you clicked the help icon in their software, the online help is displayed in a simple clean window without showing the user bookmark bar, open tabs, and back/forward arrows.
Any idea how this is implemented?

To index or not to index that is the question
I am looking for some feedback regarding indexing. The last few large companies I have worked for did not include an index in their online help, the current company does. Do most companies no longer include an index in their online help and documentation? Is there a use case?

Re: Remove the WebHelp Accordion
Thanks. We are using MC 2020 and html5 on all of our current projects, except we have a client/server project in an old language, Delphi and won't render the TOC in html5. I'm not sure what's going on since I'm not a developer. Any suggestions?

Re: How do you get .docx output?
Thank you for the replies. Strange why you have to manually set it, why isn't it automatic if that's the version of Word you are using, or at least you should be able to set it at the project level. Oh well. Imagine most people have web output.

Re: TOC with Heading 1 only
In case anyone else has this question....So I went to Support and it looks like it can be done. I thought mini might work but it doesn't, even though the dialog asks you for the TOC depth. It still reads the mc-toc-depth and if it has a number it displays.

TOC with Heading 1 only
Hi,
Typically, my TOC goes to Heading 4, but for this target we only want H1. Anyway to do this?
I tried: <MadCap:tocProxy style="mc-toc-depth: 1;" /> and it still prints to H4.
Thanks!
