If you add a text file to your /Content Folder in Flare, this text file will be copied in the ouptut folder when using HTML targets, and therefore will be available in the publish folder. You could therefore have the already formatted and ready-to-edit file in your project, and have that file automa...

I did try to write the code for the field, and tried to fiddle a bit with its format (blank spaces, etc.) but it seems that Flare "escapes" the string, which is in fact kind of normal (or elses you couldn't write a documentation about inserting merge fields in a Word document :) ). I hadn'...

Hello all Word output experts :) I'm looking for a way to generate a Word document that contains merge fields, to be used later with an external source via the mail merge feature. I have tried various solutions, but had no luck yet. I'm hoping it's possible, because I know that Word outputs already ...

Thank you for taking the time to answer. I have partially solved the problem by using a CSS tweak: by grouping the header content in a DIV and specifying negative left margin and exact width for this div I was able to achieve the desired result (I also had to create a media for Word outputs, because...

I have created a page layout for my documentation content in which I have added a Header frame and a Body frame. I want my header to take the whole width of the page, while I want my body centered in the page with reasonnable margins on all sides. On the page layout editor, this setup displays nicel...

Hi, Do you know if there is any option that prevents generating Search and Index database files (all located under the \Data folder) ? I have removed the Search tab and the Index tab from my skin, but still I have all the search_ChunkXX.js and the Index_ChunkXX.js (and their corresponding .xml versi...

Thanks fo the answer Dave. Indeed this option exists, but I wanted to be able to publish targets when building manually while not publishing them when batch building our project. However, we have changed our batches to adapt to this new behavior (also, we never used v6 of Flare, but went directly fr...

Thank you for the answer LTinker68. I had completely forgotten about the non-searchable topics feature, and it indeed works, I remember trying it some time ago. However, it isn't quite a solution for us either for two reasons: 1. We wan't to keep the ability to use madcap serach in some project, whi...

Hi, We are building pretty big projects using MadCap Flare 7. Most of our skins only have the TOC feature enabled, and we manage the search engine via our web server and not using the Flare feature. However, I have noticed that even if the Search feature is not selected in the skin, the Search_Chunk...

I've just made the test, and I'm quite disapointed that it still doesn't. Exit code seems to always equal 0. Also, the madbuild.exe command will now automatically publish the generated documentation if a publishing target is specified in the project, and there is no option to prevent this (we were p...

Hi, I was getting the exact same error and I found a solution to avoid getting these messages. The problem seems to come from my ss.ini user file (stored under hte \users\username folder located in the sourcesafedatabase root folder), in which all paths related to flare happens to have a double back...
