Re: Variable problem in title page
I don't have Flare open at the moment and it's been awhile since I've done this, so I'm not positive it hasn't changed in v2012... The variables list is your "master" list of variables, but you can overwrite those values at the target level. So instead of going into the variable set, you c...

Re: Best place to condition topics?
Condition a topic in the TOC excludes the topic from appearing in the generated Table of Contents, but the topic is still within the output, so you can search for it. Condition a topic in the Topic Properties screen will exclude it from appearing in the generated TOC and the generated content, so yo...

Re: Out of memory errors when building HTML5 Output
Someone posted in a different thread that they were having problems with SVG files, then discovered it worked if they used SVG 1.0 files.

Re: TOC entry label using variables not displayed
Do you mean when viewing it in the editor, or after generating the output? I think I did run into something similar when I changed the text in an H1 but the TOC in the editor didn't reflect the change. Then I noticed a little refresh button in the corner of the TOC editor. After pressing that, I saw...

Re: Menu styling issues on interior pages
You more than likely modified a "base" tag in the stylesheet used by your topics. For instance, if you changed the bottom margin or line height or some other attribute on the base <div> tag, or a <p> tag, or the <body> tag, or the <a> or <li> tags, etc., then that change will filter down t...

I can confirm that you can use SharePoint to store your source files, but it's not as good as it could be. I'm not sure why you got an error, so that one you'd have to take to MadCap Support. If you're using SharePoint 2013, then double-check that you're using the "clean" URL -- SP will th...

Re: Is Capture no longer bundled with Flare?
I don't recall it ever being bundled in the Flare app. Instead, when a new version of Flare came out, if you had a maintenance plan, then you also got a license key for Capture. It was a separate app download, too. I'm not sure if it's free anymore or not. Their website mentions a free trial for Cap...

Re: Break after TOC
What pages do you have in your page layout? If you just have a Title page, then add an Empty page. Then in the TOC entry for the title page, set it to auto-end on left. That will force it to insert an empty page. Alternatively, if the page layout for your topics includes left, right, first left, and...

Don't know if this is still an issue, but it used to be that if you had enabled the option to create a copy of any resized images then that copy was either in a different file format and/or lost transparency information.

Re: Xref Print vs Online
I don't think it will show up in preview because the preview doesn't know yet how many pages your output is going to be so it can't resolve the page number. If you generate the print output then does it show up?

Re: Xref Print vs Online
You need to use mediums in your stylesheet to differentiate how the style appears in online (web) output versus print output. If you have your Stylesheet Editor set to the Advanced view, then in the middle top area of the stylesheet GUI you'll see a drop-down that says Medium: (default) . If you mak...

Re: Setting tab width for pre-formatted code
You can adjust the margin values for the <pre> tag in the stylesheet editor, same as any other tag. BTW, that 8 character length might be browser-dependent, so if your users might use any browser, then you might want to test your output in multiple browsers to make sure you didn't move it too far.

You can't add multiple class names to a tag using the interface... Which is rather ironic, considering how much Flare is doing that now in their own styles in the output. Darned annoying that we can't do it. Of course, we still can't create generic classes via the stylesheet editor either and we've...
