Re: Exclude Glossary Terms Not Used

This is an old but interesting question. I don't think there's a built-in mechanism in Flare. You could, however, manipulate the files relevant for glossary creation outside of Flare before building the target. The only way I could think of is XSL-T because that's what I learned back in the day, but...

Re: Multiple Glossary

This can be done using different conditions. Create topic A and topic B. Create glossary A and glossary B and fill them with specific terms. Create condition A and condition B. Open topic A. Insert Proxy > Glossary proxy. Mark the proxy with condition A. Repeat for topic B using glossary B and condi...

Re: Contributor not using the stylesheet embedded in a templ

This is an old question to a problem that still exists. I just tested the contribution template workflow and ran into the same problem. The stylesheet associated with the contribution template isn't pulled by Contributor, leaving the template topic "unstyled" upon opening. If I do, however...

Linking snippets

Much to my disappointment, I learned that linking snippets is not possible in Flare. I do, however, use a lot of snippets in my project - some of which need to be linked to each other. The snippets are re-used in multiple topics that are then published online and in a PDF. My online project, which I...

Re: Entry in PDF bookmarks pane vs in TOC

This is an old topic, but it's still relevant. I was looking for a solution to this problem, but it seems there's no standard option to define which mc-heading-level will have a PDF bookmark and which not. I have, however, found a workaround to achieve this involving the following steps: HTML: 1.) A...

Re: HTML 5 top nav toolbar icons cannot be svg?

Thanks, Dave, I just figured that out myself. I wasn't sure if my stylesheet would override the Flare default stylesheets and only later found another thread covering the same topic.

Re: HTML 5 top nav toolbar icons cannot be svg?

I've found a workaround for this, because this still is an issue four years later. I want my search input button and the hamburger menu to be SVG to avoid image artifacts when scaling, but the Flare skin editor doesn't allow me to. Hence, I have resorted to exchanging the icon files as follows: 1. C...

Re: Top Navigation Search highlighting

Having had the same problem (with the MadCap online help being of only limited help), I might have found a not-so-hacky CSS solution. I noticed that the only bold term on the search results page is the search term, indeed. Hence, it's possible to address that exact bold span in CSS as follows: div#s...

Image maps don't fit mapped areas in output

Hello everybody, I've been searching the forum for answers, but I couldn't find anything related to this particular issue. I have created an image map on an image used for HTML help. The image is not resized - its size property is set to "default". The areas mapped are not shrunk nor do th...

Re: Change color of selected topnav menu item

I'm at a total loss on how to make that happen within the constraints of Flare. I am in the same boat. I asked MadCap support last year about this: They told me it's not possible - at least not with any of the built-in Flare features. The only way to go would probably be a jQuery solution as descri...

Re: Sticky TOC Overlaps Footer when Scrolling

Did you read this part? First, do not use the Fixed menu setting in Flare's menu proxy skin, make sure it's set to None . Yes, of course. I think I can answer my own question: I have a header pinned to the top, so anchoring a div outside the document flow will not work. That does, however, not solv...

Re: Footer Width

Although this solves the problem of stretching the footer across the full width of the viewport, one should be aware that the body (or some other element automatically generated by Flare/Foundation) is set to 100 vh min-height, thus pushing the footer out of the visible area of any screen - regardle...

I found that the following code lets you specify tool tip text for the logo on all pages except the home page . Thank you for the code - for me it worked perfectly on all pages incl. the start page. Instead of inserting it the way you did, I created a snippet and referred to this snippet in all mas...

Re: TOC based on headers within topic

Hi Dave, Thank you so much for sharing your script! For SEO-friendliness and readability in general, I have extended and modified it so that the IDs are based on the text of the headings (rather than link#). Whitespaces and umlauts are replaced as defined, and the entire #page-toc div is forced to a...

Re: Adding a title tag with text and variable to a masterpag

I hope it's ok to revive an old thread. I've had a similar problem: the text added to the title tag was shown in the breadcrumbs section. CSS pseudo-element "after::" didn't work, but I've found a simple solution using jQuery: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <hea...
