I am working on a very very heavy HTML5 project. Between the available search engines for HTML5 outputs. I often get complains that the search engine does not work, and I suspect it's because this JavaScript search engine requires the web browser to process 8 megabytes of search data chunks and that...

This issue would frequently occur to me because we work with branches in a version control system and we do not keep the Analyzer cache under version control. Hence, every time I created a new branch, it would not have the Analyzer cache. Variable auto-suggestion will not work until the analyzer cac...

Dave Lee wrote:You can't hide generic classes, it's a bug. I have hundreds (from 3rd party stylesheets) that I can't hide. This kills the style list, so I'm forced to pin styles that I use.

The more people that report it, the more likely it is to get fixed.

I'll send a bug report then. Thank you!

If anyone has a way that does not require element selectors to work, I would appreciate it.

Oh, I figured out the issue. For some reason, Flare ignores that a specific style is disabled unless it contains at least one element selector. Most of the styles I wanted to disable were generic classes ( ie: .class_name ) but for disabling a style to work, it has to at least have an element name (...

Surprisingly, disabling styles does not seem to remove them from the Styles window.

I have a lot of classes in one of the stylesheets linked to my main stylesheet that are not useful for regular styling as they're used by a syntax highlighting script. Is there any way I can get Flare to ignore them and not list them in the Style window? They're taking a lot of space in there.

Sorry, I misread your question. You're using Clean XHTML with inline styles only. I don't think there's a way to do that.

So your project can't use CSS stylesheets? Flare does aggressively sanitizes what you put in your master page's header. I just add @import statements in my project's CSS stylesheet.

Hi. Whether you build with a top or side navigation skin, the code is practically the same, except that one navigation method is visible and the other is hidden because its class has the display: none; property. Hence, you can easily make the other navigation method visible, whichever it is, with so...

When I put objects in a image outside of the canvas and use the Canvas Auto-Adjust to Include Objects option to make the image include these objects in the canvas, the canvas always has 10 pixels of extra padding around the objects. I was wondering if there was a known way to adjust this padding? In...

Hello. I am having the same problem on one of my project in Flare 2017 r3. I tried clearing the XmlBookViewerMdiEditor directory in my settings, the Analyzer, Output and User directories in my project, and all I'm getting is snippets auto-suggestions if I turn that on, and nothing if I turn that off...

Thank you Dave Lee! I figured this would trigger the event much more than necessary and I was looking exactly for a solution like this. Here's the code now, and it works like a charm: <script> $(".menu.mc-component").on("loaded", function() { $(window).trigger("scroll")...

Okay, once again, I figured out a solution, but it's a little hacky. The following code will force the size of the page and the position of the footer to be readjusted each time something is added to the side navigation menu: <script> $("div.sideContent").on("DOMNodeInserted", fu...

Alright, I have another problem here. If the space between the header and the footer is too short for the TOC menu (because, for example, a page does not have a lot of content), the TOC menu will overlap the footer will not be pushed down below the TOC menu, and the TOC menu will overlap it. The foo...

I figured out the answer to my own question. Simply add style="width:100%;" to the inner div: <div data-sticky-container="" id="sticky_top"> <div class="sticky sticky-menu" data-sticky="" data-top-anchor="sticky_top:top" data-btm-anchor=&qu...

The technique posted by Dave Lee works for me, except that my TOC automatically shrinks to the size of its content just as soon as it starts floating.

Is there any known way to work around this without hard-coding its width?

Hi Dave. I forgot to mention: I am using MadCap Flare 11. Is this feature available in Flare 11? Because I do not see this option in my target properties.

Hello, I am planning on using a Google Font for the HTML output of my project, which will be published online exclusively. Hence, I wanted to use the method indicated by Google Fonts to link to their font in the HTML documents, that is, by adding a link to the font's stylesheet directly sourced from...
