URGENT! Data root level invalid / XML Parsing Error
Hi all, I had a build bug with error message "Build failed: Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1" It occurs on one target, not others. I updated to the very latest Flare version (2017 r3 2017-12-04), rebooted, problem persists. I took a target that worked and changed just ...

Re: lost the build window
Hi,
The problem seems to have disappeared: I've got the build window back.
Since, I've installed the latest patch (2017-11-07:09:09) - maybe that is related (or is it just random?)
Regards

lost the build window
Hi all, Now when I build a target, I get a floating window, without any build date or progress columns (but with Warning and Error tabs) I tried docking the window by moving it above Flare but I don't get the usual icons signaling I can drop it inside. Apart from being distracting it prevents me fro...

Flare 2017 messes up pdf cover page
The only difference between the 2 outputs in the attached images seems to be that one was published using Flare 12 and the other with Flare 2017. Someone suggested maybe flare 2017 can't read inline styles, might that be true?

Avoid Flare making changes to files
Hi, Using source control, I would like to keep track of which files have been changed due to a given issue ticket or new feature. But changes caused by Flare in line 2 of the file get mixed up with the actual changes to the content: <html xmlns:MadCap="http://www.madcapsoftware.com/Schemas/MadC...

Hi,
Is there any easy way of finding the list of the topics that belong to several TOCs?
In Analyzer maybe?

Re: menu proxy with linked TOC
THanks Dave
I did that and I do get a context-sensitive menu.
But I get the list of chapters from each doc directly at the top level of the TOC, instead of the list User guide - Configuration guide - etc

Block snippets are best for multiple paragraphs, lists, and other large chunks of content. But despite inserting...
