I did have to try a couple of values to get it lined up just right.

Re: How do I add a line break after a chapter number?
And it worked!
I just had to tweak the h1.chapter selector:

Re: How do I add a line break after a chapter number?
Thanks, but I don't really want to use separate blocks for the chapter number and title. I'd prefer to figure out how I can do this in the existing CSS selector for that block. Also, not a fan of using a snippet for this. Basically, the way this works now, having these selectors only in the @media p...

How do I add a line break after a chapter number?
I have the following CSS to create chapter numbers in my PDF output: h1.chapter { font-size: 28pt; line-height: 36pt; margin-left: 0.5in; margin-top: 24pt; margin-bottom: 36pt; mc-auto-number-class: ChapAutoNum; mc-auto-number-format: 'CH: {chapnum} '; text-indent: -0.75in; padding-left: 0; padding-...

Table row deletion not tracked as change?
Working on a reference topic that's undergoing major changes, I have Track Changes turned on. I just deleted a row in the table (by putting my cursor in the row, right clicking, and choosing Delete > Rows). The row disappeared. No tracking information whatsoever. I checked the source code, and indee...

Replacing resource not tracked as a change
I track changed in my content because there are times when I build a target and there's draft work that should not be included. Changes are specifically excluded from those targets. It suddenly dawned on me (and I can't believe it's take me so long), that if I just update a resource, like a screen c...

Re: SaaS projects - any background info I should look at?
I don't treat a SaaS application any different from any other application. A SaaS application is nothing more than using someone else's computer and computing power to do the work. The essential difference is where your content will be served from. In an application that users install on their compu...

Re: "Exclude content..." not excluding...anything
Or of course you can always just remove the old Home Page from your project and just file it somewhere else! That would actually have an added bonus: if that Home Page is being secretly linked somewhere in your project, removing it should create an error in the build log which might help you track ...

Re: "Exclude content..." not excluding...anything
I can't use just conditions because I have many topics that are reused. Also snippets and variables. I am using that setting. It is not working--or not working as I expect. Today I begin the gruesome process of digging in and trying to decipher just exactly what the heck Flare is doing. It occurred ...

"Exclude content..." not excluding...anything
Background: I decided long ago that I wanted a single Flare project as a full content repository, and that I'd use TOCs to drive what content should be in outputs. And I thought I'd gotten this resolved before, but in my most recent HTML5 builds, it looks like the output contains pretty much every f...

Re: JaveScript method to launch help on touch screens?
Interesting. I mean, I guess I can use the cshid in the URL and add target = _blank. I've not tested this on a mobile browser yet but it works on the desktop:
Still not entirely happy with the responsive output though.
Code: Select all
onClick="window.open('../apr/index.html#cshid=3000')"

Re: JaveScript method to launch help on touch screens?
Yeah, I know. I use both. But JavaScript allows more control. For developers, I think that's better than just an anchor tag with the target="_blank" attribute--which can be forgotten.

JaveScript method to launch help on touch screens?
I have successfully implemented an internal version of our help, not yet connected to our application. I have a help launcher page with icons that are links to the help for our products. I was able to code them using the MadCap.OpenHelp method for the onclick event of the image file. And in my deskt...

Re: Conditional header image?
That said, I went back to a side nav skin that I had worked with originally. This seem to make the designated icon work--although I have to find the settings that tweak the size of what's displayed (the new icon, a different size, is being clipped)--and with some work, I think I can get it to look s...

Re: Conditional header image?
Your code sample is from output using Tripane skin - it would have helped to mention that, because as I said at the start: You could probably do this using CSS, for Top Nav or Side Nav skins. The problem with Tripane is that the topic is displayed inside an iframe, so your stylesheet is only applie...

Re: Conditional header image?
Nope. Totally defeats the purpose. I could also use different skins for each target. Completely defeats the idea of single-source, never mind increasing development and debugging time anytime there are any changes to skins. Not really, as you can specify a CSS file per target. Then that can target-...

I use Flare with a single project as a content repository. I document 3 different (so far) products. For HTML5 output, I have a single skin that I use for all 3 products. Because Flare's skins don't allow text in the header, only a logo, I have a kludge that puts the product name in the TOC tab. The...
