Re: Search on a subset of topics automatically

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.

Re: Custom fonts do not display in PDF output

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...

Re: Show meta data tag values in a topic

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=...

Re: Link targets have no breadcrumbs

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...

Re: HTML5 with PDF library

Why can't you link to the PDFs that are on your public website?

Re: Using variables in paths

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.

Re: how to block h1 from in-topic toc

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...

Re: Single-sourcing images for mobile/web (not PDF)

Glad you found the problem.

I'd suggest reporting that as a bug, because although you can't insert a picture tag, it's a problem if Flare can't recognise all valid HTML when it comes to analysing links.
