Re: Microcontent proxies and Metatags
During some testing of the microcontent functionality, we were also initially confused that the proxy was not displaying the content based upon metatag values, but static microcontent text was indeed being displayed. Then we realized that the Target that we were using was marked [HTML Target > Advan...

Re: strange search bar behavior
Thanks, Dave.
I'll see what I can do with it to make it less ugly without limiting accessibility.

strange search bar behavior
The search bar in our HTML output normally looks like this: SearchSkin.png However, when the user clicks to enter a search term, unwanted borders appear: SearchSkin-clicked.png There seems to be no setting in the skin editor to control "Search Input" borders [/b]. This is new and unwanted ...

Re: Keeping formatting when pasting text to text editor
I am running into an issue with superimposed text when employing the new <div>. The new code block - when viewed in HTML - appears under the preceding text. This is another "feature" of the Flare XML editor. The editor does not display <div>s well at all. To avoid <div>s superimposed or a...

Re: New code snippet editor - PDF output looks like a table
Update: As a test I changed the borders in my CSS for tables (in media print) to red and the result is the code snippet in the PDF has red rules, but so do all of my tables in the PDF. This is the original rules for table cells in my CSS. I changed the color from #cccccc to #ff0000 (red) as an expe...

Re: New code snippet editor - PDF output looks like a table
I'm sorry Karene, I read your post too quickly. I assumed that you were talking about the border surrounding the entire code snippet. I do not see any internal borders like in your example, for any type of code sample (I've tested HTML, XML, CSS, JSON, Python, SQL) in Word, PDF, or HTML output. If t...

Re: Flare, Subversion and TortoiseSVN
We use TortoiseSVN for keeping our multiuser Flare synchronized, and for version control. The file synchronization is handled totally by SVN (with Flare closed). Works well.
We do not map from our Flare project to any external files and thus don't have a FileSync directory.

It seems that Mimic lacks a basic functionality: you cannot define multiple objects as a group, and then manipulate them together as a group. This functionality exists in all of the competing products that I have evaluated (Camtasia, Active Presenter, Captivate). In Mimic you can resize/align a grou...
