MadCap Software Forums

This is an old ticket, but I'd like to note the resolution. As of Madcap Flare 2018 R2 (and quite possibly earlier), styles have an mc-conditions setting under the Unclassified group that will present a list of conditions that can be applied to the style, just as you would apply conditions to select...

I've found a better work-around: Modifying the table style CSS to set the unwanted header, footer, or body sections to display: none. Again, PDF and HTML5 do fine without a table header row. This is necessary only if you also have a Word target (which requires both a header row and a body row).

I know this is an old discussion, but I've been wrestling with a similar problem: Column widths that work fine in HTML5 and PDF but are reset to wrong widths (often equal-size) in Word. This is as of Madcap Flare 2018 R2. Some tables worked; others did not. I realized that the difference was that th...

I would like to know the answer to this, as well. I am fine with the Menu Proxy showing the h2, h3, h4 topics, and I know how to control that level. I've also managed to place PREVIOUS and NEXT buttons at the foot of the page (I created a TopicToolbarFooter proxy for the Previous and Next buttons), ...

A good thought, but no; these were straight single quotes. I also tested adding and removing the single quotes from within Flare, and recompiling each time. Just now, I put single quotes around an h1 header that had never had any punctuation and recompiled. Sure enough, the top and side menus for th...

I recently began converting some older content to newer HTML5 templates. Most of the content was looking pretty good, but I noted that a couple of pages were not showing the top or side menus. The settings for those topics and their TOC entries matched the settings for topics that did show the top a...

Thanks, sdcinvan. I found it was best to ignore the hodgepodge link here, as you advised: http://www.madcapsoftware.com/downloads/mimiccodec.aspx .. and, instead, use the instructions here: http://kb.madcapsoftware.com/Content/Mimic/General/GEN1004M_-_Installing_LAME_MP3_Encoder_on_Windows_Vista.htm...

You might want to try creating a snippet that contains both images. Within the snippet, you can set condition tags. Then, place the snippet in the page layout.

I haven't tested this, myself, but in theory it should work. Good luck.

Situation: I am using Flare 7. - I want to be able to compile to both PDF and Word. - I want to be able to show chapter numbers in the headers and footers. Chapter and section numbers are system variables that will work in page layouts in PDF but not in page layouts in Word. These number variables, ...

A lot of time has passed since your post, but I did find it helpful -- thanks. I had a similar situation. I tried your tactic of temporarily moving the one file mentioned to see what additional error information Flare would return on a compile, and I did get more information on the files making the ...

Thanks for the thoughts, Lisa. In this situation, that won't work because I want to be able to present a draft version in a target (with internal comments excluded) to certain third parties, while maintaining the internal comments in another target. The include/exclude aspect of the condition is act...

Background: I am using Flare 7. I am working with a group unfamiliar with Flare and resistant to change; I'm not going to be able to persuade them to use Contributor as a review tool. I need to be able to include internal notes that can be excluded for specific targets. I can use the annotation feat...

I would leave the bullets alone and use an auto-number control in a paragraph class for the snippet. That way, the snippet numbering is independent of other numbering. There may well be other ways to handle it.

Hi, Josh, I was researching a similar question not long ago and found this write-up helpful: http://flareforhelp.lauracjohnson.com/category/css/page/2/ It sounds as thoough you need to differentiate the number sequences. I hope the link helps. As the author said, I added the H to separate this style...

I considered that as a possibility, Msquared, but I don't think the timeout itself is the problem. Files of <= 199KB -- a few seconds at most. File of 201KB -- The "publish" process sits on the "Uploading content ... " point, then after 100 seconds, instead of "Succeeded,&qu...

I have been trying to publish some WebHelp output to SharePoint. (I would rather publish directly to a secure ftp location, but SharePoint is currently my only option). Nearly all files upload correctly, but a handful do not. These all have as a common factor a size over 200kb. (They are not huge fi...

I'm using Flare 8.1.2. I, too, am seeing the unwanted series of bookmarks in my PDF's browser ToC. In testing, I've ensured that the links are cross-references, not hyperlinks -- but the xrefs are indeed being listed. I know this thread is rather old, and it appears the old work-around won't apply. ...

Thank you. Lisa. As both width settings had been working for most output types I tested, it hadn't occurred to me to remove them. - Removing both widths allowed the numbers to appear. - Adding the ol width value only, caused the numbers to once again disappear in the html output. - Adding the li wid...

Thanks for the tips.

The current settings are: I will see if margin adjustments will do the trick.

I have some simple numbered lists that are working fine in most output types (WebHelp, Word, PDF, HTML5). One output type I will need is HTML. However, for HTML (and for DotNet, I've noted), the numbers don't appear in compiled output. All other list formatting (indents, etc.) seems to be preserved ...

A qualification: The above was about Word output. Output to PDF using the same page layouts and proxy correctly shows the Roman scheme for the index.

I have an outline TOC that is divided properly into the chapters I want. I've checked and double-checked the page numbering settings and "Reset to " values. The objective is to have the body appear with decimal numbering and the glossary appear with Roman numbering. In the chapters themsel...

Maybe it will help if we list instances that we found that will result in this error. It might make it easier for others to pinpoint problems. Here is one ... I had text about a rarely used function that will be important to a small percentage of clients. So I put it in drop-down text -- but I also ...

Hi, Denice,

Have you looked into font sets? There is a good discussion in an older thread that may help.

No; that wasn't changed.
