Why not use <li> and complex selectors?

cbdebris

Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear. I'm using the bottom portion of the Index window to compare the index that Flare builds with the entries on the Index window. Because there are more index entries in the output than those that display on the Index window. I can't find anything to explain any limitation...

The index for my only project compiles correctly but the working version doesn't show all of the content that's in the compiled version.

Is there an xml or other file somewhere that I can open to see what's the matter?

How odd. Do you embed your fonts? Because if you don't you can get some of the same problems.

cbdebris

My experience with this error is that it primarily occurs when your computer needs some Windows updates and they aren't loaded, or there's a discrepancy between your computer and the version of Flare. So you have to make sure everything is up to date. If you say there's no issue, because you've inst...

That's interesting. I was using IE9 to search and collect the fonts we're using. Hmmmm.

We are using Google Fonts. Sort of works, sort of doesn't.

I believe that throws an error in Flare code, which is why you'll se

You may need to use a text editor to add the calls to the new images for the <a> classes. That's the only way I can think of making it work.

Anyone using server-based fonts? How did you get Flare to work with them?

Big translator businesses usually work with XML anyway so they can use Flare files without problem.

Look at the table settings in the stylesheet, for printed output I believe. You can set how the table breaks or doesn't.

I have found it pretty easy to use autonumbering across browsers, at least in DotNetHelp and WebHelp. I include a 1-em margin in the <body> and go from there.

cbdebris

It's a combination of page layout and variable, as I recall. For example, if you want a chapter title in the left running head and the book title in the right running head, you'd have left and right pages in your layout, and use a variable that calls the chapter title on one, and the book title on t...

Why would you need a "reset" file? I don't know of any application that uses a CSS "reset."

If you are using an Adobe print driver to generate a PDF (and that's a good practice), you select the driver, right-click, select Printing Preferences, and Edit the default settings. Select Fonts, select all fonts and embed them. Save the job options file. Select the new job options file as your def...

Are you outputting to online help? You have to specify fonts that your users will have.

Are you outputting to PDF? Embed the fonts.

You might consider a complex selector just for the table (yes, you have to have a class for the table and the paragraph). I use that and it's worked great.

cbdebris

I have never had to use padding to create a hanging indent for <ul> and <ol> lists -- can't imagine why you'd need to; browsers parse that for you. If you mean margins that's something else entirely. I favor complex selectors -- beauty and power. If you are using autonumbering you use the offset bet...

EPUB works.

Thank you Dave. Just wanted to make sure that I hadn't overlooked something.

One of the team discovered that when he conditionalizes a crossref in the format (see page 1) at the end of a sentence and adds a space before the open parenthesis (inside the condition tag but just before the crossref tag), saves and closes the file, the space may or may not be there when he opens ...

You need separate chapter.htm files for each chapter. Otherwise the autonumbering will not work.

cbdebris

I want rounded corners.

cbdebris

Vilma, you may be right. We had to define rules for what could and could not be added to tables so that we did not require numerous styles. We also put max-width and other items in our core stylesheet, not the table stylesheet, so that we had more control. You may find that a combination of individu...
