Thanks Adrian,

I would never have thought to search for Stop Words.

My WebHelp project defines software objects. Some of the topics have headings that start with the names of the objects, character sequences like .IS , .AND , .OR and .XOR . Users want to be able search WebHelp for these topics. WebHelp search doesn't seem capable of searching for words like is , or ...

Thank you everybody.

I've learned a valuable lesson from what you've patiently been trying to tell me: In the style sheet editor, when Advanced View is displayed I am actually in the Simplified View. And when Simplified View is displayed I'm in the Advanced View.

Thank you for your comments—especially the ones about manually changing the CCS code. if you select Show: Assorted Relevant properties, it'll only show the special 'mc' properties Where do you select 'Assorted Relevant' from? Are you talking about the drop-down list headed 'Show All Styles' that a...

The problem of Flare's style sheet parameter definitions must have been faced by every Flare user but I cannot find any direct reference to this subject in this forum. When you open Flare's style sheet editor you are faced with a column of style names down the left hand side and a row of parameter n...

Pete, Thank you for sharing your most excellent script. I did get it to work but I had to hand-code the WebHelp page that Flare produced. I had assumed that one would simply type your code into Flare's script editor. (I'm an optimist and a Flare novice). When I did this, Flare put the <script> </scr...

Kevin, Thanks for taking an interest. Does just selecting the text and hitting Ctrl+C not work? It does work. But with many lines of code, especially when the text extends off the screen, making sure that you copy everything becomes problematic. The Copy Code link is just another way of making the u...

I vain I've searched Flare's Help and this forum for a method of copying code fragments from a WebHelp page to the operating system's clipboard. Maybe someone in the community knows how to do it. Some WebHelp pages I've seen include fragments of code that a user is expected to input into, say, a com...

I was looking at the style sheet with Show Table Styles selected. There was no margin-bottom column on offer. In view of what you said, I changed the view to Show All Styles and looked again at the table style. margin-bottom was there. So I changed back to Show Table Styles and margin-bottom was sti...

As far as I can see, there is no margin-bottom heading.

I don't know if this very fundamental matter has been addressed in this forum before. I did look. If it has been talked about, please let me know and I'll go away. I want to add white space below tables. To do this I added 50pt in the padding-bottom column of the table style. In the MadCap Flare edi...
