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

And it worked!

I just had to tweak the h1.chapter selector:

• Removed margin-left
  Changed text-indent to -0.25in

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...

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-...

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...

I saw a couple of books yesterday that allege to explain the "new" dec dev model: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B085KK6G8F?pf_rd_r=CQEZ0B9T97QZ7AYQV5WQ&pf_rd_p=ab873d20-a0ca-439b-ac45-cd78f07a84d8 https://smile.amazon.com/Docs-Like-Code-Anne-Gentle/dp/1387081322/ref=pd_bxgy_2/137...

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...

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...

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 ...

Is anyone creating web-based help systems for applications that: - Are served from Amazon Web Services - Are behind authentication and require that the help be authenticated too (you can't get directly to help topics without signing in to the app first) - Uses Ember as a front end? - Gives access to...

I want to go on in the vein of this home page. I looked at the Link Viewer for that topic. In the Associated Targets list, all of my individual product help targets are listed. The help topic for this (https://help.madcapsoftware.com/flare2019r2/Content/Flare/Folders-Files/Viewing-File-Links.htm?Hig...

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 ...

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...

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.

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.

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...

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...

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...

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-...

Of course, but can you add conditions in CSS? I have not seen anything that would lead me to believe you can. You can't use conditions, but you can use a different CSS file in each target. Nope. Totally defeats the purpose. I could also use different skins for each target. Completely defeats the id...

You could probably do this using CSS, for Top Nav or Side Nav skins. For example, to replace the logo, you could set a different background-image for a.logo : a.logo { background-image: url('../Images/YourLogo.png') !important; } Do skins have their own CSS? I don't see any classes in the skin's XM...

I tried this: <Styles> <Style Name="Logo"> <Properties> <Property Name="BackgroundImage">url('Agari_A_small.png')</Property> <Property Name="BackgroundImage" MadCap:conditions="Products.Incident Response only">url('apr.help.bigger.png')</Property> <Property Na...

Looking at the code, I see 2 instances of the image being referenced: <Resource Name="Agari_A_small.png">H4sIAAAAAAAEANVYB1RTaRYORTo6OtJbqNJCGoEQIPQqCEREmiwheUAgJCEJEMqMomgERJCiMBYWkKUJIkVBKQ4IClIUxUFcqSsIuIiKwqLCJggjozg7Z/acPWffOa/8997vu/e/97/v/ecluu6xExeRFQGBQOIO9tY4zl2Lc2oLCXCuevN0T86Nh...

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...
