I'd start by looking at the source for the start of the Outlook topic and the end of the previous iFly topic to see if there are any extra heading tags in there that are getting pulled into the TOC during the build. Or have you any defined named destinations in the documents? Rob There's nothing in...

I have an issue with my current flare build that I can't seem to figure out. Flare is building the PDF with a duplicate item in my bookmarks bar. I'm not sure why but it's only in PDF, including Nitro. HTML outputs fine and does not have the duplicate. Any ideas? Screenshot 2023-08-08 164532.png In ...

This might not be the answer you're looking for but as far as I know you can't force it to open in Adobe Reader on the Flare end. That's an end user/machine preference and would likely have to be selected on their machines. Sorry.

Hi all, I'm trying to use two separate skins in one output. I want my home page to follow skin 1 where there is a search bar in the middle of the screen and no search bar in the header. For every other page I want to use skin 2 that has search bar in the header only. I have the "Open in Skin&qu...

Hey all, I'm struggling with auto numbering in my HTML output. PDF shows the chapter number on the sidebar for 10 & 15 but HTML just refuses. I have the Chapter Number in Auto-Numbers set to: Reset to: 10 and Reset to: 15 on the topic properties. I'm at a loss on what I'm missing. There's gotta ...

I found the issue! I had a line of text in the middle column up before the image that was bold-red and all caps. Apparently Flare won't break an all caps message right where you want it to and it tries to fit it all on one line. Who knew.

I have two tables I set up the exact same way, both set to 700px wide with the columns being 250px, 225px, & 225px. When I build the target pdf though they have different sizing. One is sized perfectly while the other seems to have shrunk the first column exclusively. They're both using the same...

Have there been any developments or movement on the problems caused by the change in behavior with Git? I have read different things on Slack and other areas. One person reported that he was told that it is working as designed and is not a bug, hence there is nothing to be fixed. I'm still running ...

It is a problem in the output as well. I'm publishing to pdf. Here is the first header code: <tr class="TableStyle-MEL-Table-Head-Header1"> <th class="TableStyle-MEL-Table-HeadD-SeqNo-Header1" colspan="6"> <h4>AIRCRAFT: <MadCap:variable name="MEL-Variables.AIRCRAFT...

Good Afternoon, I have a project where we specify Aircraft type using a variable. This variable is contained within a H4 bar that has other information as well. Revision and Date are not variables. It looks like this: AIRCRAFT: (Aircraft type variable) | REV: Original | DATE: MM/DD/YYYY It displays ...

I use this a lot whe...

Good Afternoon All, I'm currently working on a project that is heavily regulated in the way it's ran. I have one very long topic that uses cross references to itself much later in the topic. I'm wondering if there is a way to open the same topic twice so I can see what's on the top of the topic and ...

Flare 2021 R3 Source Control with Perforce is also broken. Been dealing with a world of woe since upgrading on 1/12/21. Reverting back to R2 now. Be aware that when reverting back to R2 any project you in which you interacted with the destination will have a hidden .git folder that will not let you...

Good Morning All, My company has published a certain way for a while and it has always worked. With the newest update all of my destinations are broken and when I try to publish I get the message "Publish failed: The given key was not present in the dictionary" We used to select origin as ...

Hi all. In my business we use the div.changebar function to mark changes within the document. I've looked around quite a bit but haven't been able to find out how to make the change I need. I am trying to move the location of these change bars right and left so they do not interfere with content pla...
