MadCap Software Forums

Is this still a valid string? I'm trying to join the Flare Slack channel (or contact an Administrator), and can't seem to figure out how to do that.

Hi! Yes, you can see the styles in the XML editor. I have a Flare ticket open as well to get this resolved ASAP. OK. I think this is what you're asking to see? The sequence is Number, Sub-bullet, sub-number to sub-bullet. "Level 1" - <p class="List_1_" MadCap:autonum="5. &qu...

Having the same problem: newly created style not appearing in output. Don't you love the byzantine nature of Flare? Thankfully, our org will be adopting to a new, more modern authoring platform soon that doesn't rely on the writer to know HTML code, or all the unnecessary idiosyncrasies of Flare (an...

I just created a new style using the Styles formatting window, and the Target/Output PDF is not recognizing it. I created a third level numbering style. Has anyone else encountered this? There's nothing online about it. Thanks.

Greetings Fellow Propellers Are any of you using Flare as a back-end CMS, and using another application/platform as a front end/end user delivery application? We are exploring alternative CMS options that enhance our content deployment process. For example, a solution that enables direct reviews and...

Hi Sorry I'm not sure what a docset is. I think you're referring to the a specific TOC in a project? I'm trying to achieve the removal of an extra page in my output PDF. At this point, I've opened up another ticket with Flare and am trying to resolve it. For some bizarre reason, this isn't easy. Thi...

Hello? Anybody out there in FlareLand?

Bueller?

Hi Flare is inserting one (and only one) page in the output PDF file between chapters 2 and 3. I cannot figure out how to prevent that. The properties in every html file is exactly the same ("auto-end on enabled. This is our style and we CANNOT change this). There is no hidden text in the prece...

Yeah. The first suggestion is not ideal, but it's a workaround.

The second doesn't work.

It's OK. I'll open yet another flare ticket. Thanks.

Sorry...not sure what the official technical name is. I'm in Flare and want to display the mini conditions popup that show the condition I'm using so I can select it easily. As we all know, selecting text in the xml editor to remove conditions can be a major undertaking. Any thoughts?

So far, none of the above solutions worked, and it's been like 2 years after the last reply. Did anything change, or do I need to open yet another ticket with Flare?

Hello This is going to be an unnecessarily long explanation to a very simple problem. Something happened when I opened my flare project this morning. When I open a project, two sub-windows are now opening, each with the same folder list. Previously, the application showed one menu (and one menu only...

OK! As usual, no responses in a timely fashion. Not sure that these forums are really worth the effort.

I opening another ticket again to have this resolved

Right, but what if the PDF is a cover and doesn't include any of the heading styles?

Hello

Due to GitHub constraints, we've had to add a cover and signature page PDF to a TOC of one of our user guides. Is there a setting we can apply so that the cover and signature page do not appear in the PDF outputs' bookmark's or in the output Table of Contents?

Thanks!

Greetings I have been vainly trying to center-align text (meaning, the text appears in the center of the page, and not left or right-aligned). I clicked the align center button, and it appears correctly center-aligned in the preview, but when I generate a PDF output, the text is still left-aligned. ...

Never mind. Figured it out. Add to the top of the page. Thanks!

I'm including this topic in this section, because, quite honestly, I don't know where else to add this. I'm creating a title page that requires a text box in the center of the page. When I insert a text box and apply the "center" position, it appears at the bottom because of the title text...

I realize I'm 15 years too late for this conversation, but how do you accomplish this in Flare? None of the solutions above worked.

Any updates on this? Five years later, and we are trying to determine (several Flare updates later) if this is a good tool to use. The doc team should not be responsible for updating open source-type docs (the URL and JSON APIs will not be made public). Right?

OK! No responses, so I'll go ahead and open a ticket (again) with Flare. I seem to open a lot of tickets with them, since their help is kinda dismal.


Thanks.

Hey Gang

Does anyone know how to "unlink" a live https link in the PDF output? Thanks in advance!

Never mind. I didn't get a response so I figured out a *%&$' workaround.

Hello I'm hoping to find an easy solution to this. I want a border around one cell in a table. Just one cell. Is there a simple way to do this? I can't find anything online about this. I don't want to mess with an existing table style. In Word, for example, can add a border around one cell only. I c...

How do you open up a style sheet?

This seems way more complicated than it needs to be.
