I think this is getting closer.

Cubreporter51, would I add this CSS to the main Flare project style sheet, or the table style sheet in question?

I have two table style sheets for a doc set (based off of the provided table styles with only color changes), and when editing the topics and creating tables, the content fits fine in the table and looks normal - i.e., width of cell matches the text within it. However, once I generate the help, the ...

Thanks Lydia for the thoughtful reply. I found the solution, and you are right: It was a matter of style sheet mediums. It's a little confusing with the different mediums since I thought non-print (for an HTML5 target) would have done the job, but now I see that the default medium serves as the mast...

I scoured these forums, the flare docs, and even tried google for an answer, but I cannot figure out how to change the style of my topics' hyperlinks - e.g., color when not clicked, hover, after click, etc. I found two possibilities in the Style sheet: 'a' pseudoclass (active, focus, hover, link, vi...

HI Lydia, and thanks for the thoughtful reply.

I tried your suggestion and it almost works. The tab disappears, but the icon still shows up. Just a sad little orphan of an icon of the book.

I tried zeroing out all the tabs' values, and that little guy still shows up.

This may have been covered in these forums, but I wasn't able to find an exact answer. I was looking for a way, in an HTML5 skin, to hide the all of the tabs in the Navigation panel. I can figure out how to hide the Index tab and the Glossary tab, but there doesn't seem to be a means of hiding the C...

Thanks everyone, most excellent and it works. Much appreciate the Mad Wisdom.

Is there a way to completely remove the search widget from the HTML5 target?

In the skin editor, I can easily find how to customize and stylize that search widget, but not remove it. I am interested in removing that widget.

Thanks,

I sent a query to MadCap to ask about Stash, since we just moved from Github to Stash, and seems like they do not support it yet. The reply: “It’s part of Source Control and we do not offer integration at this time. We do have a feature request for this and I added the user to that request. If i...

Has anyone got this to work? I love Dave's excellent tutorial, yet after going through it several times, the search bar is still in the upper right. Any tips?

Thank you - that was it! Cheers.

I am customizing our HTML 5 skin for our online help, and I cannot figure out how to remove the menu from the search bar. Does anyone one know where to remove those menu items from in the Skin editor? The skin editor does not show the menu, but when I generate help, there is it. Thanks!

Can anyone help a relative newbie figure out how to transform what in online output is a thumbnail image that works properly in HTML5 output, but when it comes to a PDF output target, the image disappears completely. I have tried taking *off* the thumbnail style for the print output PDF style sheet ...

Hi Nita, I just purchased the book you mentioned, since it seems to have a tutorial chapter on building book/PDF output. And, I just found that webinar on the Madcap site. And, I will also check our her bog as well. Thank you so much for taking the time to provide these resources. Much appreciated! ...

Does anyone know of any resources (free or paid) that instruct someone, from start to finish, how to setup a output target for PDF? I have setup our entire doc set into flare, customized the style sheets, and now am able to create good looking online help for our product. Now my goal is to set up ne...

For the sake of capturing problems and solutions, here's the issue. I had configured external publishing of the HTML 5 web help with an option selected that only works with Windows/IIS/.net. See attached image. When I deselected the option, all was well and HTML 5 content displays. Thanks for replyi...

Would anyone know if one is serving up the HTML 5 output generated by Flare on an Apache web server, if there is a module or any sort of extra configuration one needs to do on Apache for the HTML 5 output to display correctly? I have published our HTML content to our internal apache web server, and ...

This may be captured somewhere, but In Madcap Flare 10.2, I am inserting mp4 videos into my topics and I am not sure how to control the size of the video in the generated output. The view displays very large in the output, e..g, you can't even see the whole video unless you make the browser very lar...

Thank you for your help, Dave. Much appreciated.

Thank you Dave. That certainly works. With some editing the style should look right.

Would you know how to add more than one link?

Does anyone know if there is a topic or article that describes how I would add href links to the Header of HTML 5 output? I have attached a screenshot mockup. The idea is that we could have custom links in the header of the HTML 5 output that links to different areas of content outside of the HTML 5...
