Re: Topic Reviews: Error loading in-box. ... part does not e

I have this same problem "error loading in-box: Specified part does not exist in the package".
This post is already very old but against all odds I thought to ask anyway whether you could get the problem fixed?

I would be grateful if you could share your experience.

Re: HTML DOM parsing

Please ignore my question: I realized that Flare 2020 does come with a Find and replace of elements! :D
Finally! That is what I needed.

HTML DOM parsing

We use MADCAP Flare but we receive from partners documents in various formats: Google Doc Doxygen Latex Sphynx From these documents I can save HTML or MS Word documents but the tags are not at all clean. For example: I want to replace <div class="math notranslate nohighlight">\r\n\\\[(.*(?...

Re: powerpoint to flare, howto ?

In case someone still reads this topic:
to get the images rename the pptx to .zip. Unpack it e.g. with 7zip and there you will have all the images in the media folder.

Re: How do I repeat a footnote?

This is exactly what I need to do but reading this I get really scared.
Indeed the workaround is not pretty even if it is great to share it here at least to unblock the courageous.
I hoped that in the meanwhile MADCAP has come up with a proper way to do this but I don't find any.

It looks like I have the same problem. I will check it as my topic title does not have variables. I will try your workaround.

Same problem here. For me the biggest problem is the justified alignment. Sad to see that this is something that is apparently pending already for quite a while.

Re: Expanding text issues

I seem to have the same issue so sorry, can't help you further yel.
In my case indeed it forces the text to the next line but even worse, it changes the alignment of the original line to justified and this looks really bad :?

Re: Animated gifs on WebHelp Toolbar

I face the same problem.
I know it is many years later but maybe someone has some new insights into the reason for some animated gifs not to loop?
I have only one that shows only once in my HTML5 output and then it stops.

Re: Flare 12: No Usable Workflow for Equations

Amazed to discover this at a moment where I am almost forced to move to Flare 12: Flare 11 is troublesome for the equation editor as well as many of my colleagues reported problems. But instead of fixing it, the functionality (of the equation editor) is simply dropped... As a software vendor myself,...

Re: Topic Stylesheet is the Wrong One, How Change?

Do you have a stylesheet defined on the project level? Or on the target level? If I am not mistaken in that case you can not define a stylesheet on the topic level. At least that is what I remembered from this post: https://forums.madcapsoftware.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=26386&p=116516&hil...
