Is there a solution or a workaround for this problem? It still occurs in Flare V10

Hi,
this might work for Windows system, but what about Linux?? Is there a similar trick?

After a little fiddling i reset the page-break-after property of the table style to default and all the unwanted pagebreaks in the generated TOC and Index magically disappeared. I would have expected the tr style to be of effect for the proxies, but ...
Problem solved, thanks for thinking with me.

Hi all, my proxies worked fine until i edited the table and table cell properties. Now the heading 1 is displayed on a separate page as well as the first entry of the generated TOC. I know that the proxies generate internal tables for the printed documents but i have no idea which propertiy caused t...

Thank you David. So if Chrome is not a supported browser of the webhelp, can i delete the .js file in the data folder of the generated webhelp?
Does it have any influence on the Chrome compatibility if i insert line breaks in the search.js files?

Hi there, Flare version 7 generates a new javascript file in the data folder of the webhelp output: search.js. It seams to contain equal information as the search.xml file in the same folder. But the information in search.js file is contained in one single line, which is too long to be accepted by a...

With Flare 5 this solution worked. With Flare 6 i am not so sure. Sometimes it workes, somestimes not. It is not predictable, after which generation the security warning will appear. Are there any other reasons, why this error message appears?
Thanks a lot in advace

Hi there,
is there already a solution to this? Because it also occurs on our customers machine.

There is no answer yet, but we work on the same issue. So, is there a solution? Maybe an undocumented attribute for the Madcap:keyword tag? Or a workaround for manipulating the sort order according to Adobe?
Thanks for any help,

Yes you can use variables in snippets. Click again against or into the snippet tab. Sometimes it needs an extra "invitation"...

To answer and close this request:
The List-of proxy generates its results into a table. So what i interpreted as characters of a missing font on my machine emerged as table cells formatted with the td style class. And i had defined borders for my table cells...

This is, how my PDF generated list of figures looks like: Have you ever experienced this behaviour? How to get rid of the additional characters?
Any idea may help

Hi David, one possible use case for this problem is that 2 different helps running on the same machine or web server suddenly use the same target window. Then it must be possible, to rename the window other wise one help overwrites the other in the help window, as it is the case for our customers pr...

Joy, you do not need an internet connection to work with Flare. But i agree, the message is annoying and misleading. For everybody, who is interested to stop the broadcasts in the LAN: I filed a bug and this is what i got as an answer from Madcap support. It worked very well four our customers. The ...

Hi deb09, as i understand, your main questions may be: handling different layouts for different customers (agencies): currently three and growing handling content for different target groups (manager, worker, guest) handling different output (printed doc, help and context sensitive help) Flare proje...

To warm up this thread again: is there any possibility to stop the broadcasts in the local area network because some customers are nagging about the heavy traffic slowing down the network capacity.
Any recommendations are appreciated.

To spare you time if you work with Flare version 4.2 and 5: (addition to some information related the index proxy stated in other posts) clear the projects output folder clear the MadcapSoftware folder in c:/documents and settings/<username>/applications ensure, that the project and the output folde...

AFAIK there is nothing like batch editing in Flare. But why not use the master page or page layout (depending on your output) to place the link on every page of your output?

As there is no answer to my question i have submitted a bug report although i am not sure, if this relates to a certain option in IE6. Therefore it would be very helpful to have a list with known issues related to the top most browsers. I have another one for you: this time, it is the same webhelp b...

Hi all, this relates to webhelp output running on a XP machine in IE6. Is this a known problem with IE6, maybe? I could not find any information about the icon size. I am using Flare's default icons for expanded and drop down text and the result is just weird and not predictable as you can see in th...

Thank you marilynd for your answer. I've recognized, that the problem occured about one year ago, but my customer has this problem now. So i thought, you might remember the solution, because it was not documented in this thread. I am not sure, if upgrading is an option for my customer...

So was it the Flash player disturbing Flare to start properly?
I have a customer reporting the same error: Flare can be started with a double-click on the project, but when starting with a double-click on the Flare icon on desktop, this error appears.

The p.index styles are the correct ones to format the entries generated by the index proxy. p.index1 is for the first level, p.index2 for the second and so on. As i understand, the padding attributes just insert or exclude some white spaces or so, but to increase or decrease the space between the li...

Hi Ramon,
i have asked my publishers, but there is no answer by now. If i get an answer i send you an email.

Hi Alan, I am delighted to learn that you think the book on creating online helps with Flare is helpful. If you and others think, the book is really also suitable for the English speeking community, i can talk to my publisher to consider a translation. But, as i stated in a former post, there has to...
