Re: Cannot apply line-height to p.TOC1 and p.TOC2

Update - MadCap have submitted a bug report for this issue (#90918). The recommended workaround is to use the madcap|tocProxy style to set line-height.

Cannot apply line-height to p.TOC1 and p.TOC2

Hi, I have a topic that contains a TOC proxy for my contents page. The spacing between each entry is fine, but if an entry is longer than a single line, the two lines of the entry are too close together. Try as I might, I cannot control the line spacing here. From my experimenting, I gather I need t...

Order table by hidden column

Our release notes contain a table which we update with new information in each release. The rows in the order the customers want to view them, so kind of a random order rather than alphabetically or anything. Meanwhile, we receive the info to put in the table from another team in a table with the sa...

Re: Transferring files to a new Flare project structure

Thanks all for the continued advice. This at least reassures me that GPL is the right way to go (this is all based on a plan my former senior colleague put together before he jumped ship!). Right now, the problem I have is retiring the old project and moving existing content into the new structure. ...

Re: Transferring files to a new Flare project structure

Thank you both - a GPL structure is exactly what I'm aiming for, though it's my first time setting it up. It sounds like I need to set up my structure to match my old project, pull the content over, then make any tweaks to the structure in Flare (so it updates links). I'll keep experimenting and wil...

Transferring files to a new Flare project structure

My team currently works in a single Flare project, and over time the amount of content we write has outgrown it. I have been working on a new structure of multiple projects - a top-level project with stylesheets etc., one project for each product we write for, and a low-level project to build docume...

Re: Display an icon at the top of a topic

Thank you all for these suggestions! I tried the <body> class at first, and it worked great in the editor, but had very mixed results in the output - as Dave Lee suggests, seems like the body classes didn't make it to the PDF. I ended up applying a <div> to the heading of the topic with the icon as ...

Re: Display an icon at the top of a topic

Thanks ChoccieMuffin!

The different locales are on a topic by topic basis, rather than paragraphs within a topic.

But the alternative we have thought of is to include a "note box" in a div at the top of each topic to say - this content is only applicable to X readers.

Display an icon at the top of a topic

Hi, My team are trying to find a way to mark out certain topics in a PDF as being exclusive to a certain locale (e.g. this topic is only suitable to UK users, this topic for US users, etc.). The ideal would be to have a flag icon appear beside or opposite the topic header. I attached a mockup of wha...

Translation does not appear after merge

Hi all! I have created a bundle from my Lingo project and sent it to the in-house translator for translating. She sent it back, and if I open that bundle in its own project, I can see the translations. But when I merge the bundle into the project it came from, the translations do not appear. This is...

Flare binds project to source control on its own

I work on a Flare project with two other colleagues. We use git for source control externally to Flare (using SourceTree). Every now and then we notice the "Source Control" tab appear in Flare. In SourceTree, it shows a file change in which SourceControlBound changes from "false"...

Ending this task also worked for me. Thanks for sharing!

Table rows missing in Lingo

Hi all, I have a snippet in Flare with different conditions for different rows. I then have several topics that pull through various rows from the table using those conditions. All of the conditions used are included in the target. This project is synced with Lingo for translating. However when I lo...
