Re: Using variables in paths

Troy, I've never considered this.

What are the specific use cases?

Problem with anchor links using anchor.js

Anyone using anchor.js to automatically add anchor links to HTML output?

https://github.com/bryanbraun/anchorjs

I've got it working, except the anchor text being generated is in #TitleCase.

Anyone figure out how to get it working so that it generates #kebab-case?

Problems hosting on Amazon s3

Trying to host a site on an Amazon s3 bucket, but having issues with what looks like various CSS not getting picked up, the side navigation bar not having any content (toc).

The site looks fine on a Windows Server host.

Any experience hosting on Amazon s3 that might explain this?

Thanks!

Hmmm.

I've never used it but the wbr CSS element might be useful?

Re: Black Screen, Flare Hangs

I wish MadCap would just spend a year fixing this and the other quite major bugs and performance issues in their software. It would be far more beneficial than some of the new features they've been releasing lately - both 2023 releases are particularly underwhelming. Agreed. The AI and themes updat...

Re: Easily hide/show content at global level

That seems as reasonable an approach as any, this kind of thing is a bit of a pick your poison exercise. If all 'preview tags' need removed before a final build you can do a search replace. e.g. replace something like this with nothing <MadCap:conditionalText MadCap:conditions="Docs.Preview&quo...

I've a branch, branchA. I send topicA from branchA to Central for review. Changes are then made to branchA->topicA in Central. Meanwhile, changes are also made to branchA->topicA in Flare.

Re: Merging branches taking a long time

About 20 minutes in, wish I'd searched for this thread beforehand.

Though, it's merging from Central so it seems I have no alternative VC option other than to wait.

EDIT: have abandoned ship. Been trying via Visual Studio Code source control instead, different problems... (SSL certificate).

Re: Template Customization - Homepage Tiles

You need to made changes in the CSS, namely adding a new tile class based on the existing tile class, but with the desired width.

It can get tricky, especially taking responsive output into account.

Re: HTML output shows duplicate subsections in the Contents

What happens if you add a duplicate entry in the TOC for e.g. Getting Started?

Do you get three or four subsections in the output?

Re: Body class being ignored in HTML5 output

Having the same problem as OP. I've defined body, body.A and body.B in the stylesheet. <body class="A"> is respected in the Flare editor, as is <body class="B">. However, the HTML output reverts to <body>. Any ideas? Really don't want to go the route of multiple master pages.

Re: Tracking Changes

Is there a way to show tracked changes in HTML output? New content I've added to a topic does not appear in the output.

There's no 'Preserve tracked changes' option in the Advanced tab for HTML targets like for PDF targets.

I don't think so.

As a workaround you could press Ctrl-S instead of clicking the icon.
