Re: Line break in a Snippet

There you go. Thanks!
Funny, I never realized there was a difference. I always just assumed that if you added the snippet inline, it was inline, and if you added it as a separate paragraph, it was a block...
I am now the wiser, and I thank thee!

Re: Line break in a Snippet

I have a similar problem - but my snippets do not use the <br /> tag. I have this snippet: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <html xmlns:MadCap="http://www.madcapsoftware.com/Schemas/MadCap.xsd" MadCap:lastBlockDepth="3" MadCap:lastHeight="130" ...

Re: Snippets and ordered lists (OL)

Yes, that would work when mixing list styles, but not when continuing a list from any place in any list.
To do that, this is the only workable way I cound find.
But when re-reading the original question, I do see that it was about mixing list styles.

Re: Search across multiple projects

You may have to implement a third-party search engine. Some have done so using Elasticsearch (which is a "free" tool). We are looking into mimicking what Greg has done.

Re: Format menu items based on conditions

Hi, Not sure how you arrive at the conclusion that my code should apply to the whole book? Now that would be easy! No, I only apply it to select TOC entries. I create the toc style in the skin. I create the style class in the css. I apply the style to the TOC entry in its property page. I generate. ...

Thanks, Dave Lee, and also Jbleasdale who suggested going this route in a private IM. I will look into this. I will need some time to concentrate on it, because I can't see how the styles named in the skin and defined in the css get selectable in the toc entry properties. Preliminary experiments gav...

Re: Format menu items based on conditions

Sure thing - a picture is worth 1000 words, and all that:
MenuConditionalFormat.png
The menu item in the red box should have a different color than the other menu items, to set it apart.
(Of course the menu item "Internal pages" would be a candidate as well, but you get the idea.)

Format menu items based on conditions

Hi, I maintain a beta site (kind of a staging site) and the "real" site. For users of the beta site, it could be useful to know that the page they are reading only exists on the beta site (so they don't get nervous). I'm already using conditions to keep the pages from being published to th...

Shortcut to switch from XML Editor to Text Editor

Hi,
Can anyone think of a shortcut to switch from XML Editor to Text Editor and vice versa?
Does not seem to be in the list of Options > Keyboard Shortcuts in Flare 2017 r2.
Thanks!

I use AutoHotkey macros as well, which I find very useful, but I don't think I can target the tab switch control.

Re: Menu proxy issues in 2017r2

Hi, Thanks for the answer. That's the thing - all the menu items are there, they just don't get shown. So somehow the script does not turn on the visibility correctly. Perhaps a timing issue, or some class changed its name (like the tab-bar-section changed its name to title-bar-section :shock: ). So...

Re: Menu proxy issues in 2017r2

I'm using a script that uses the menu structure to create a slide-out menu (menu is shown when you click a toolbar button; scrolls to the current menu item). That doesn't work anymore in 2017r2 (the menu content does slide in, but is just a blank waste of space with no links or anything). This is pr...
