So what is the upshot now? Can any wild characters be used in the Search field of HTML5 Help?

Thanks, Ron T. It's a miracle. I never would have figured that out. I tried many things like negative para indents, etc. Your solution worked and even 18pts was good for me.

Ooooh. That's too bad. Thanks, Paul.

How do I add the Search Help tab to the workspace panel on the left side where the Content Explorer tab is?

Right. Thanks.
And of course, the less elegant method, putting both commands in the Help drop-down menu and have the customer choose.

I am interested in what Dave Lee had to say: ... HTML5 help (which works fine locally or on a server)

How is that done?! If the Help menu points to a company web server hosting the Web-Help, how can it open locally if the internet is not connected/available?

We have an application that customers ...

This has been changed to a Feature Request.
I have been informed that there is a difference between a style with with Paragraph numbers (paranums) set and an ordered list style <li>.
Cross references currently only work with the former.

Submitted a bug at https://www.madcapsoftware.com/feedback/bugs.aspx on April 7.

Yes, Marjorie, it is similar to HKNIX's post.
The <li> step number appears and is a hyperlink in the PDF output, but no number/link appears in the HTML5 output. (Flare 10)
Sounds like it might be a Flare bug.

I've used a cross-reference to a bookmarked step <li> with (paranumonly) set. It works fine in the PDF output but nothing displays in the HTML5 output. In the style sheet, the MadCap|xref for this particular class is set the same for print and non-print (and default). I am missing something? Do ...

That fixed it. The Body tag—Who know!
Thanks, NIta.

Unless I specify a color in the CSS for the Print medium , the PDF is produced with gray text. When I changed the P tag to black, it changed to black in the PDF. But now it looks like I must do it for the Li, and headings, and all styles that I've haven't set a color to. (The font color in the ...

Thanks. It confused me--having Home for a list and Home for the topics.
Good info.

My new Home button doesn't link to anywhere.
In the Skin Editor, with Tablet Medium selected, I've added a home button in the STYLES section. The icon image shows up on the Navigation slideout in the output but doesnt do anything. How do I link it to my home topic?

Thanks,
Roger

SOLVED.
I had to close the topic and reopen it.

I created a new imgage class called img.GreenBorder. It shows up in my CSS but not in the dropdown menu when I right-click the image. There are other image classes that appear, I can select them, and the effects display. Just not the new one. (The others were created in Flare 8 or earlier.)
I can ...

Thanks, wclass.
That fixed it.
I don't know how it got set to 'Forward' and didn't think to check that setting.

Roger

On my Webhelp output, my back button tooltip says Forward. The image points back and indeed it takes me back to the last topic.
It's true in both IE and Firefox.

Is this a bug? Anyone else see this?

Thanks, Lisa. I have generated the Unused Images report.
(I have about 140 unused images spread among three different folders and the report lists them alphbetically; not by folder.)

Is there a way to globally deleted UNUSED image short of purchasing Analyzer?

Wow. That's exactly the function I want. Thanks, Nita.

There must be a way to do this in chm Help.
I want the Next and Previous buttons to work in the main toolbar. They are there but disabled whether I open a topic in the TOC or in the Browse Sequence book (within the TOC).

They are disabled whether I set the skin to Automatically Synchronize the ...

Yes. Deleting the import file breaks all the links. I didn't even have to move the files to another folder.
Thanks.

Thanks, NIta.

I moved the linked files (within Flare with the View Files column visible) to a new folder called Temp. The links broke and I could edit w/o the warning and request for decision. When I moved them back to the original folder, however, the links reconnected. Any further edits displayed ...

Can I break topic links to my global project all at once? That is, can I globally break the links between the Source project and all topics in my child project? Or all topics in the same folder in my Child project?
