As a workaround, you can use the @import command in your main CSS file:

You can use variables in image source paths like this: <img src="../_resources/graphics/frontmatter/[%=doc_props.front_img%]" /> In the example above, I'm using the front_img variable from the doc_props variable set. The front_img values can either be filenames (product01.png, product02.pn...

Hi Barb, I assume that the xml:lang property in the TMX file contains the value for Czech that Lingo does not recognize. You can try to do the following: * Open the TMX file in a text editor. * Replace all strings xml:lang="THE_VALUE_THAT_LINGO_CANNOT_USE" with xml:lang="THE_VALUE_THA...

Hi, I had a similar issue and the MadCap support has confirmed that this is a bug. The bug reference number: 149664. In my case, Lingo did not pull files with dots in filenames from Flare when filenames were longer than 100 characters. But generally it looks like Lingo does not handle filenames with...

When using the command line, what exactly does -syncProject [true/false] do? If I set it to true, what would be the equivalent action from the UI?

My colleague and I had similar problems - Push/Synchronize buttons not working, we are using BitBucket. We've tried all solutions suggested by support, on one occasion they helped, on other occasions they didn't. We've stopped using Flare's UI for source control and started using TortoiseGit - it wo...

Hello all, I'll be happy to hear your recommendations of MadCap Flare/Lingo consultants. I'm interested in the following topics in particular: Translation of projects with thousands of snippets and global project linking (or how to reuse content between projects in a better way). Generation and depl...

Hi Crash, The .liprjdb3 file is the database file that Lingo uses to store various relations between topics. I recommend to exclude it from Git since it's an internal Lingo file. If you close Lingo, delete this file, and start Lingo again, Lingo will recreate it. Add something like this to your .git...

Hi all, I'm creating a booklet layout (A5 format) and I want to ensure that the total number of pages is a multiple of 4 (4, 8, 12, 16, ...). I don't want to create an A4 layout with two frames. I want Flare to insert 2 extra empty pages, if the final total number of pages is not a multiple of 4. Ca...

Thank you!

I'm experimenting with Left/Right page types now.

Hi, I would appreciate if someone could point me at what I'm missing. Flare does not insert empty pages in the PDF output. I have the following setup: * Page layout has the following pages: Normal, Empty. Empty has type Empty. * In the TOC: chapter breaks on all root topics, "Auto-end" ena...

Hi,

Has anyone found a way to prevent Flare from changing the .gitignore file?

Hi,

Have you found a way to prevent Flare from updating the .gitignore file?
In my case, I want to have my custom .gitignore inside the project folder, and I want to include it in source control, but Flare keeps adding the line to the top level gitignore that excludes my custom file.

Hi Crash,

You can add a variable set in the translation bundle in Lingo.
Values of variables are translated in almost the same way as content inside topics.

MunchMan, I have axactly the same issue. Have you found a workaround?

Right-clicking on an image shows the dialog with the "Open linked file with" menu.
That menu only contains Illustrator.exe and I want to add paint.net to the list.
Is there a way to do that?
In Windows explorer I already have paint.net in the "Open with" menu.

We've just tried to uninstall/install Flare, and then imported the project again. Still the same behavior.

Hello,

My colleague has an issue with Push and Pull buttons in the Flare UI:
They both trigger the Commit dialog, but do not start neither the Push, nor the Pull dialog.
The Synchronize button works as it should though.

We are using Git and Bitbucket.

What can that be?

The styles that worked for me for the print media: ul { list-style-image: none; } ul > li::marker { content: '•'; } The reply from MadCap support: "Thank you for contacting MadCap Technical Support. The alignment with PDF output is a known issue with the disc and square list-style-type. A metho...

Thanks Nita! I've just submitted this as a bug.
I'm getting really frustrated by Flare's CSS parser.

Hello, The bullets in bulleted lists are misaligned vertically in my PDF output. The bullets appear to be at the lower border of the line. In HTML5 they are fine. This is how they look: Screenshot_1.png This is my css code. There are no other places where styles for ul or li are modified. This happe...

So, these are my findings: When I moved/renamed files and folders in Flare, it looks like it did something strange to the Git index. I have reset my local repository to the previous commit (hard reset using TortoiseGit), and then ran the command: git gc --prune=now Now Flare can pull and push change...

I have just renamed/moved some files and directories and I have the same issue now.
I'm using Git at Bitbucket.
Tried unbinding/binding - did not help.

Hi All, I'm editing the div style for warnings that contain the warning icon on the left. The warning icon is a background image. The background-size property has no effect for the print medium for svg and eps images . It works fine for HTML (default medium), but not for print. I have to change the ...

I have a similar experience.
Have you found a way to scale vector graphics as background images?
