I am using Flare (version 2018)
I have a Help project that outputs to HTML5 and PDF without an issue.
However, I am now trying to output to MS Word. The Word file output in Print Layout view is a complete mess, but everything appears fine in Outline view.
How can I fix this? Please be specific in ...

Thanx for the feedback Alex. Do you know of another AI search tool that might be more appropriate?

Hi
I am looking to add ElasticSearch to my Flare Help project.
Conditions:
The Help output is HTML5
The project is built in Flare 2018
The Help is bundled with a desktop application installed locally on the customer's PC
The customer PC may or may not be in a closed network

Questions:
Is it ...

Okay, I found the answer.
You have to link to the script. If you copy and paste the code in the Script Code area, the incorrect characters appearing on the page.

Thanks I tried to past the script above the <\head> tag in the code and it failed. The script was illegal, but I was able to save and at least start the build before it failed.
However, now the following appears at the top of all HTML 5 pages:
/*]]>*/

Deleting this in the code makes the code ...

Hi,

My company uses Azur Insight to get UX information about our customers as it pertains to our product. I would like to add a javascript to my HTML5 Help project to get search and other analytic info about how the product's Help documentation is being used.
The HTML5 Help is not on the web, but ...

I am now officially part of the QA team, though, as a Tech. Writer, I have been doing QA/UX work at the same time for years.
Can anyone recommend a course online for intermediate to advance QA or UX professionals.

Thank in advance

I figured it out. The custom button name (not the tooltip) must not include whitespace.

Hi all,
Using Flare 2017 r2 on Windows 10.
I've created a custom topic toolbar button for HTML5 output.
Now I want to link the button to a PDF file that will be in the same output folder as the Web output.
The PDF file may not exists at the time that the output is compiled.
How do I do this and ...

Hi all,
I am using Flare 2017 r2 on Windows 10.

I've added a custom button to my topic toolbar, but for some reason the image I made for it will not appear in the button.
I placed the image in the skin's Style > buttonName > Background > Image filed with no luck.
What am I missing?

Using Flare 12.
In my MasterStyleSheet, I created a new p.FigureCenter class. In the PrintSupport declarations, I set ‘page-break-after’ and ‘page-break-before’ to always. Now I would like to change the default PageLayout for the class to ‘ChaptersLandscape’ (not FR or EL).
It is the Word ...

OK, I got the float effect that I was looking for, but I cannot get the Unclassified mc-conditions attribute to work on the new class.
Any suggestions?

Yaacov

Sorry if this is a little too fundamental, but I am still getting the hang of Flare and CSS.
My question is how do I float an image in the left margin of my PDF output which is aligned to the next paragraph? For example, a Note icon in the left margin with note text to the right of the icon.

Yaacov

Yaacov

How do I make this image change based on the output target?
I assume it is some variation "How would I create a variable that is linked to an image?" (viewtopic.php?f=75&t=26687)
but I just can't find it.

Thanks in advance

Thanks all, After waking up from a coffee induced coma, I just added
div.Alignment
{
max-width:800px;
margin-left: 50px;
}
to my css file and
<div class="Alignment"> to my MasterPage file between <body> </body>.

It's amazing to see how the brain works -when it doesn't. :shock:

Hi,
Working with Flare 11 in Windows 7.
I have a question about DIVs. I haven’t used them in a while and I need a refresher on creating a DIV that fixes the <body> width to a max width. I do not want the topic body to be the width of the browser window in full screen.
Please provide me with a CSS ...

Yaacov

I did this and only the headings appeared with the new color. Any idea how I can apply it to the rest of the text on the page?
I ended up using devs, but if you have a more elegant solution please let me know.

Yaacov

Yaacov

Thanks for your reply.
I ended up just using a <dev> with a color property on the text that falls on the first page of a chapter. The problem is in the future if text is added or deleted I need to remember to move the </dev> code. I would have preferred to have somehow automated this process.

I would like to add a condition to my CSS that if body text appears on the first page of a chapter the font color will change from #404040 to #dcdcdc.
How do I add this condition?
In the MainStyles.css file, there is a p.FirstPageOfChapter style and there is a printSupport property called mc ...

I am using Flare 11 and I have a question about Flare’s tripane PDF output.
It the standard Flare 7X9 Chapter page, the color of the body text on the first page of a chapter is different from the color on subsequent pages.
My question is where is the font color set and how do I change it?

Yaacov

Yaacov

Thanx Devjoe.
Your solution works great in the topics, but I am now trying to put the code in a decorative frame in my Title7X9.flpgl file.
When I output the project to PDF, there is no image, just empty space.
Any suggestions?

Thanx in advance

Using Flare 11.1
I am working on branding my PDF output and I have multiple company logos.
I am trying to work within the existing process as follows:
1. I put each logo in a Resource/image/variable_image folder.
2. I go to each target and add a variable called BrandLogo.

This is where I get stuck ...

Yaacov

The body frame is there.

Thanks for the idea.
