how to add an aria-label to the Topic toolbar buttons

I couldn't find anything in the Flare docs that explains how I can add an aria-label to the Topic toolbar and other buttons (print, next/prev topic, search button etc)
Is this possible ?

getting the filter value into the Search Heading

In the default Flare search output, it is not possible to see what filter was applied. I can probably solve this myself in Javascript by looking for the value of the 'f' query parameter in the URL, but before I go that way I'm hoping there is a built-in solution For example, in the SearchResults Ski...

controlling breadcrumb last element

Hi
I'd like to shorten the breadcrumb so that it only shows the hierarchy and not the title of the currently shown page
In other words, I want to see the pages parents but I don't need to see the page title since it's just under the breadcrumb and its a waste of space
Is there a way to do this?

Out of the blue the Flare XML editor is giving me very tall lines (line-height) about 4-5 times the font size. madcap-page - small.png The output looks fine so either it's not related to CSS or Flask is interpreting the CSS differently in Flare from how it's done in the generated code.

Re: side navigation using the menu proxy

. You'd probably only need to use the menu proxy approach if you need more flexibility - e.g. different position and layout, multiple menus, or need to specify different/particular TOCs. That is indeed the case, My page is only part of a website, and the page "skin" (header/footer) comes ...
