You could use replaceAll to replace the comma "," with a comma and space ", ". <script type="text/javascript">/*<![CDATA[*/$( document ).ready(function() { var metaDescription = $("meta[name='description']").attr("content"); metaDescription = metaDes...

Not sure if the help confirms this, but I would expect that you can't switch from a TopNav/SideNav skin to a Tripane skin. The Tripane skin is fundamentally different to TopNav/SideNav skins - they have separate skin editors and different features. The output generated for TopNav/SideNav share the s...

Well, first check if snippet variables have been used for the individual snippets in your topics. It's not something that would happen by accident, as someone would have to deliberately set snippet variables on each snippet. But yes, if snippet variables have been set for each instance of a snippet ...

You can set snippet variables at two levels - for the topic, and for each instance of the snippet in your topic. So if you've checked snippet variables at the topic level (in topic properties), then check each instance of the snippet in your topics - right-click the snippet and select Snippet variab...

I think the problem is that the first script will only work if it runs after the second script has finished. The first script runs on the 'DOMContentLoaded' event, but it assumes that the element with ID "changeURLLink" already exists here: document.getElementById("changeURLLink"...

IrfanView has a good batch converter too: https://www.irfanview.com/
It's not pretty, but it's surprisingly good for image file processing and gets regular updates.

No, that should work - it works ok for me.

Obviously, the text 'Search filter text goes here' needs to be replaced with some/all the text of the actual filter name.

Thanks for all the tips and suggestions, I now have the correct IBM Plex Sans font on my front page. However, even though I styled this with a red underline, it does not have a red underline in my PDF output. Any suggestions? That's probably not related to using a custom font. If you used text-deco...

You can use a script to do this. This is a meta tag in the head section: <meta name="description" content="hello" /> In the topic body, use an ID to mark where to insert the text fropm the meta tag - in this case, ID="meta-description". <p>Meta description is: <span id=...

The search filter menu was changed for accessibility a while back. This should work (changed li:contains to button:contains): $(document).ready(function(){ $(".menu").on("loaded", function () { $(".search-filter-content button:contains('Search filter text goes here')")....

It'll be on your hosting/server side, rather than anything to do with Flare. Your hosting was presumably set up to remove the file extension from the URL. The breadcrumbs are generated at runtime (not build), and it seems likely that removing the extension causes the breadcrumbs code to fail. For ex...

Why can't you link to the PDFs that are on your public website?
That's what I do.

I'm not sure why someone would set up your firewall to block your own website, but if it does then change your firewall settings.

If it's about the style you mention in this post for a third-level numbered list, then it'll help to provide an example of your CSS in that post:

No, I didn't try Word output, so I guess that doesn't work.

You could ask MadCap, but I'd guess it's just not officially supported - since the image doesn't display correctly in the XML editor, and there's no 'insert variable' button in the Insert image dialog.

It seems to work ok for me - I have this image link, where the variable is set as Images . <img src="Resources/[%=Folder.ImagesFolder%]/image.png" /> The image displays ok in outputs (HTML5 and PDF) and in previews. It doesn't get reported as build error, or as a broken link in the Analysi...

Open the skin used by the HTML Help target, and check the Size tab. You can set the window width/height, and its offset from the top/bottom/left/right; or use the Browser Default setting to remove these. Also, on the HTML Setup tab, if you select Save user defined window position after first use , t...

The skin name is used in the class name of the list, in the format _Skins_<your skin name> . So I'd guess yours would be... ul.mc-component._Skins_menuproxy_headings > li { display: none; } As mentioned though, if you inspect the output in the browser (using F12 dev tools), you can see the menu list...

There's no similar method to exclude particular heading levels from a 'Headings' menu proxy. The only option is to set the heading level depth in the menu proxy, so you can't stop Flare including the h1. But you can use CSS to hide menu levels in the output. For example, this hides the h1 heading fr...

You might be able to copy topic files from your 2023 project to overwrite the topic files in the original 2018 project. Topic files don't usually contain any information that's specific to a Flare version (if you haven't used new features). However, project files will be more difficult to handle. If...

As far as I know, MadCap haven't documented how to do this - but I think it's worth contacting MadCap support to find out how they would handle this. How difficult it is to fix will depend a lot on exactly what changes you have've made to their project. If your changes make use of any new features i...

Where you insert the toolbar proxy (in a topic, or template page), you can to choose which buttons to display for that instance of the proxy - and that will override the buttons displayed by default that you set in the skin. So you need to check each place where you insert the proxy, and check what ...

Try Window > Reload Layout first, then Window > Reset Layout.

What PDF button do you mean? Just there isn't a PDF button by default in the skins that you create in Flare - either the Toolbar HTML5 component skin, or the Trpane skin toolbar. So the PDF button must be something custom that you've added - it isn't a reserved/default button in Flare. The preview i...

You could do this using JavaScript. For example, somewhere inside the body of the start page, insert a script using Insert > Script and paste the following: $(document).ready(function(){ /* Set focus to search bar in title bar automatically */ $(".title-bar .search-field").focus(); });; Ho...

First, I'd ask whether it has always been broken or was it working previously? If it was working ok before, then what has been changed recently? It's hard to say what's happening. Some of the problems might be caused by settings in the toolbar skin, and some problems might be caused by your styleshe...
