I realize this is a very old post, but I just happened into the same issue and think I have a fairly easy work-around. As a previous reply stated, the browser used in the HTML Help Viewer application has a lot of functionality stripped out (in the name of security, I guess). I had a jump button set ...

I did manage to solve my issue. I was using the 64-bit download of Java v7 u21, which doesn't work with Flare (v9.1). When I followed the link Rob posted above to download the 32-bit/x86 version (and redirected my JAVA_HOME env. variable in Windows 7), equation editor worked fine.

Are there any updates on this issue? It's been a few months now since v9.1 an even an update since the last post on this thread (9.1.2 on Oct. 25th).

I ended up having a similar issue as originally described by heffevuna & planitDocs. I did attempt the solutions described by planitDocs and the only one that seemed to make a difference was to remove the XML declaration from the beginning of each topic. Sadly, this has to be done manually outside ...

I've got something of a work-around for this. Mind you, it is not pretty. However, it seems to work for both print & on-screen in the same source.

1. Just use footnotes as you would normally for the first occurrence within a topic (or chapter, etc.? haven't tried that...).
2. Build the online ...

Can you also fill me in on what, if any, DITA enhancements are in v7 (or even planned for coming updates). This is issue no. 1 for me concerning upgrading.

I'll keep that in mind as I use DITA to create product deliverables. The first one is shipping this week.

I am also using Flare for production of Printed (.PDF) output in lieu of a DITA OT. It is certainly far easier to use for that purpose.

However, not being able to make use of the outputclass in DITA severely hampers this. I do hope that this is correctly soon, as I suspect they have already done ...

I'm using Flare v6.1.0 to import a DITAMAP (and associated .xml files) into a project for producing a .PDF deliverable. I've noticed that my outputclass attributes on various elements seem to be ignored. This is surprising, as these are generally used to generate element classes in transformed ...

I ran into this problem, too, using Flare v5.0.1. I'm convinced that is entirely a systems resources issue, which can be both good and bad (and not to say that MadCap shouldn't work on a bug fix). For reference, I have a 2.20GHz Core2 Duo Laptop with 2 GB of RAM and a 2 GB paging file, running ...

pjnut,

My company has dynamic help integrated into a few of products now. Several of these are all done manually, which has made it a tough sell to expand to new products. However, with a new product platform we launched late last year, the decision was made to find a more "out-of-the-box ...

Ramon,

Well, the two that stand most are with spaces and small caps. Occasionally, when I have entered a space character between two words, it doesn't show up. Viewing the source code, its there; it just isn't being rendered for some reason. Small caps were often rendered very poorly, with odd ...

Lisa,

I'm still getting the same issue. I deleted the folder containing this output, set IE7 to delete temporary internet files on close*, and then re-built the output. The TOC items marked as new still don't show up.

This isn't an especially important issue, but one it seems could be relatively ...

Steve,

I was under the impression that Flare deleted everything in an output folder before building a new set of the same. I do not manually delete anything prior to performing a build, though.

I have several help topics in my TOC which have Mark as New? set to Yes in their properties. However, this doesn't seem to show up in the compiled DotNet output. Is there another setting to get these to have a "new" icon? This is Flare v4.2.1 & Help Viewer v4.1.

Steve - Excellent question. I do and I should have thought to include that with the stylesheet section above. Essentially, this just sets the color to black to override the hyperlink style. - Jason

Today, I have yet another heading head-scratcher.

In my project I have numerous headings which contain togglers in the text. These are used to display/hide text in a DotNet output, similar to how Flare's help functions.

In the PDF output for this same project (which is the primary), the togglers ...

Thanks, Steve. I've been lurking here for a while. Fortunately, most all my issues have been solved before I needed to post anything.

Your observation is a good one, as setting the font-variant to Normal does result in the expected behavior (that is, a break before the word rather than after the ...

This one has stumped me and I haven't found anything else in the Forums so far.
In at least two places in a single .PDF output, headings are breaking in the middle of a word, immediately after the first letter of the word. Both of these heading classes have the mc-hyphenate set to Never for the ...
