Re: Limit TOC Depth Picked up in PDF Output?

I am having a similar situation. I have H1 headings and H2 headings in my topics. I use the H2 headings to separate major steps in my procedure. I do not want the H2 steps to appear in the TOC. I want the TOC depth to stop after the H1 heading. So, according to the information in this post, I should ...

Re: Page Layouts & PDF Documents

I placed the p.note inside of a Div and changed the position and bottom properties in the stylesheet for medium = print. It looks like the PDF output completely ignores the property and even removes the p.note text from the output. I applied the same settings to my medium=default and the output does ...

Page Layouts & PDF Documents

I am setting up a page layout that will allow me to single-source my help for a white paper/how-to document that will be in PDF output format.

In the help topic, I have a note with the p.note style applied to it that appears near the top of the topic. In the white paper/how-to document, we would ...

Re: The Reason my .chm Files were so Large

Thanks for the information you provided in your last post. I did try all of the things suggested in previous posts with no changes to my file size. However, the information you provided gave me some information I could use to troubleshoot my file. I am finding an image file that was used originally ...

Re: The Reason my .chm Files were so Large

So, on the Styles tab in the Skin Editor, do I change the ToolbarItem -- for example the Back icon's ControlType to = not set? The ControlType is the only setting for the toolbar items that is set. The Icon setting is already set to Not Set.

Re: The Reason my .chm Files were so Large

No matter what I do to the toolbar, remove gradient, remove icons, change icons, the file size does not change. The only time the file size decreases is if I remove the entrie Web toolbar from the skin.

The Reason my .chm Files were so Large

With extensive testing, I have found my large file size problem. In my skin that I have associated to my target, I chose to include a Web toolbar on every topic. When I remove the Web tool bar from the skin, my compiled file size changes from 623 KB to 69 KB which in a 30 file merged help system ...

Re: Build XML Target in Robohelp Equivalent in Flare

I know that is the "standard" way of doing context sensitive help, however, there is nothing standard about the way the development team I am working with does this. They read in an XML file and then I assign the keys by knowing the topic url, topic id, and topic title through a custom window. They ...

Build XML Target in Robohelp Equivalent in Flare

In Robohelp, I could batch generate HTML Help and XML help. When I compiled XML help, I received a file named the project's name that contained all topics and topic ids in the project. I understand that all topics are XML in Flare, but is there a way to get a list of all of the topics and their ...
