When compiling, I get the following message: Description: Name cannot begin with the '<' character, hexadecimal value 0x3C. Line 419, position 2. File: no info Without a file name, I cannot figure out which topic has the error. How do I find out which topic has this error. We have very few topics wi...

For any an all who want to know... According to MadCap Tech Support our issue had to do with our style sheet importing itself, leading to a circular reference error. We applied the following fix to one project, and so far it appears to work. 1. Right-click on the .css file, go to Open With, and sele...

We love the feature, too. But even when we close the topic...hell, the entire project, and open it again, we either get the progress bar "ad infinitum" or the error. I logged a defect.

No, unfortunately.

Okay, this is happening more and more. Even when Analyzer isn't running through its analysis, I can't preview topics. It's also starting to happen with my co-workers projects. At first, it seemed to be only topics with a lot of drop-downs, toggles, expanding text, etc. wouldn't preview. However, I j...

Ah...I've been so chapter oriented I totally forgot to set the default numbering for the Appendix in the TOC properties! That was it. Thanks for the reminder.

BTW, we don't use a separate master for appendix. We just defined a style in the style sheet. It works!

I'm adding an Appendix to my print doc and can't seem to get a letter to display as an alphabetical counter. For example, my chapters are defined as: CH:Chapter {chapnum}: Chapter 1: The big red dog I've got the following for the Appendix, so far: CH:Appendix {A}: but it keeps appearing as: Appendix...
