Re: Aligning slideshows in page?

Hi everyone,

I'm new to Flare, so please forgive me if there's an obvious answer to this question. I am using Flare's Slideshow feature to lay out some tutorials in my HTML5 output so that users can click through to see previous/next steps.

I like this feature a lot, but I cannot seem to get the ...

Re: Controling table width with CSS in PDF output?

You could try building a HTML5 target using your print medium, to be able to properly inspect what's going on. I have done that actually and HTML5 output behaves as expected (the table fills 100% of it's parent container with width:100%;). So I believe there's something strange happening in the PDF ...

Re: Controling table width with CSS in PDF output?

Could you do a super long title or footnote, so that it wraps? You might find that it wraps exactly where the your table is. (I'm assuming the blue and red lines are added in a graphics tool, rather than being part of the styles you've set up.) That would be one way to do it I think, make sure the ...

Controling table width with CSS in PDF output?

Hello everyone! What I'm trying to do here is set up a system where my tables will always be as wide as their containers, so 100% wide in css terms. What I'm noticing is that even though I've set my table's width to be 100% in several spots (including in-line out of desperation), the table sizing ...

How to control bullet point positioning in PDF output?

Hello everyone! I'm a front-end developer who's been tasked with setting up Madcap Flare for our writers to create documents within our brand guidelines, so I know my way around a CSS stylesheet. Where I'm struggling right now is the PDF output (our primary output). One example that has been bugging ...
