Re: Drop-Down Text is disabled when including a table

UPDATE:

I just realized the table I was referring to was actually in a div. DUH... In this scenario, selecting the text line and the table doesn't result in the div being selected.

The workaround: with the selection still active, press Shift+down arrow. The div is now selected and the Drop-Down ...

Drop-Down Text is disabled when including a table

A few power users have lauded the fact that inserting Drop-Down Text in Flare 12 now takes one less mouse click (MadCap eliminated the previous confirmation modal dialog). Well, that's nice, but I would have hoped they would do something about including tables as part of the dropDownBody (not ...

Flare 12 moves concept terms

When Flare 12 opens a project created in Flare 11 that uses concepts for Search Filters, it moves many of the <MadCap:concept term="MyConcept" /> entries from the first spot in the topic (inside the <h1></h1> element where they belong), to random locations (even inside tables!).

Returning them to ...

Re: XML/Code formatting for PDF output

Our group has been using prettify, which was working fine, until now. As it turns out, the prettify developers decided to change their access url without notifying anyone. All is well again, however, with the updated url.

Nice, huh?

We're also investigating Prism: http://www.prismjs.com , which ...

Re: Can Flare search PDFs?

I've used ZOOM Search http://www.wrensoft.com/index.html by Wrensoft in the past, when RoboHelp's search was awful. At the time, ZOOM was a robust product, and completely dependable. I've looked at their website recently, and their V7 is showing a full list of file types that you can run it on (HTML ...

Re: How to get Flare to omit the <span> around a variable

Couldn't you use a snippet instead of a variable?

Source Code in topic:
<MadCap:snippetBlock src="Resources/Snippets/Copyright-and-Date.flsnp" />

Generated Code in topic:
<p class="legal">MyCompany, Inc. Copyright 2010-2016. All rights reserved.</p>

Re: Flare 12: PDF output unusable!

Does this problem only apply to the Preview of PDF by the Flare 12 author, and not the distributed, standalone PDF? That is, can users view the PDF in any environment and with any Adobe Reader version?

Leon

BTW, MadWorld was great!

Re: Refining Search Results

Just ran into this topic and implemented it, but I should add that you need to also set the font size to 0 (or something close to that); otherwise the default 13pt size leaves you with this big space between results. :wink:

Hope this helps,

Re: Show/Hide Blocks, Show/Hide Markers project-wide?

[Flare 11, by the way]

Actually, Nita, the "Show Inline Markers" option (from the "eyeball") and the "Toggle show blocks" option at the bottom of the XML editor, are:

Topic-by-topic toggle, in the Flare source
Project-wide in the FLTREV review package viewed in Contributor

Show/Hide Blocks, Show/Hide Markers project-wide?

In preparing a Review Package (Send for Review to reviewers who will use Contribute to add notations), I see that the blocks and markers shown in my topics also show up in the review files.

Isn't there a way to hide them project-wide before preparing the review package? I'm afraid all of the ...
