For a number of years I've submitted sitemap XML files to Google Search Console tools, and it indexes the topics fine and doesn't complain about spaces in the URLs.

Thanks for the reply Dave. That's comforting to know.

Hi, I am using Flare to generate the Sitemap.xml file for our website. I notice that when my files or folder have spaces these spaces are retained in the sitemap file. E.g. <url> <loc>https://<our website>/Content/Employees/Employees Landing Page.htm</loc> </url> Is this correct behavior? I expected...

Hi, We have a project that is bound to Central (single bound model). Usually when a tech writer clicks "Commit All" he/she sees a list of the files that they have modified and have not been committed yet. However, the other day one tech writer clicked "Commit All" and the list of...

Hi Amy, I have a similar need. Did you ever figure out how to do it?

Thanks!

With our HTML5 output, suppose a user expands some TOC nodes in the left nav. When they then go on to click a topic the topic opens (as expected) but the TOC reloads with those previously opened nodes now collapsed. There are two reasons why this behavior can be irritating...i. As it happens in a fl...

Should micro-content show up in the Search results regardless of the (concept) filter settings that have been applied for the search? That is what is happening. E.g. - My micro-content contains the word "test" and does not have any concepts applied to it. - In the Search box of the output ...

It's ok I figured out a workaround:

li.tree-node, li.tree-node-leaf, li.tree-node-selected
{
background-image: none;
}

I found these classes using developer mode in Chrome. Was not able to see this exact info in Edge.

Hi, I'm setting custom bullets using the background-image property on a ul > li selector. When I do this any bulleted text looks fine with the bullets positioned as I want them. The problem is that these custom bullets are now showing up to the left of all entries in the HTML5 side nav menu ! Bullet...

Hello,

Does Madcap Central support SSO workflows? For end user access to a private project hosted in MadCap Central, is it possible to pass the username and password as part of the URL link?

Thanks

Hi, We have a confluence wiki with about 40000 pages. We optimistically tried imported directly into Flare, but a) in Flare only about 50 of the wiki pages showed up in the import list and it was not possible to import any of them b) attempting the import put our wiki offline ("service unavaila...

Regarding my second question, I have just seen that if you attempt to pull before committing then a msg will appear telling you that you must first commit.

I'm guessing that when you pull there is a check for conflicts with your local files and for this check to occur the files must be committed?

Hello, I have a few doubts regarding how source control works between Flare and Central... 1. Update latest local files button The MadCapCentral window (View > MadcapCentral) has a button with tooltip "Upload latest local files to MadCap Central". The Flare online help file implies that th...

How do you edit the first/last name of a user who is an SME or viewer? I thought it would be the same as editing a team name but it seems it is only possible for an author to edit his/her own name, but not anybody else's. I tried deleting and recreating the user but this does not work if the email a...

Hello, Does anybody have any tips for importing Confluence spaces into Flare? We are seeing the following behaviours: 1. For large spaces, Flare hangs when trying to open the space for viewing (we don't get as far as actually selecting the folders/files that we want to import from that space) 2. For...

Love the new feature for adding code snippets such that they are automatically syntax highlighted. However, I would like to be able to do this for HL7 code and there is no option in the dropdown Language list for this. So I was wondering if there is a way to either add a new language to the list bas...

I found a way to extend this idea to "rough" PDFs....e.g if you want a single PDF with all text of a particular condition highlighted for your own information 1. Create an XHTML output and look for the largest htm output file - you will see this contains all the topics from the TOC. Let's ...

Hi, I am having the same problem with one image - shows up in IE but not Chrome. Did you find a solution for this? Never mind, I found the problem! Although the image file has the extension PNG looking at the file in a text editor shows that it is in fact a JPG (JFIF). It seems IE does not support ...

Hi,

I am having the same problem with one image - shows up in IE but not Chrome. Did you find a solution for this?

I suggest you open the TOC file in a text editor and see if you can spot anything out of the ordinary.

BTW You say that you are using the same "master page". I suppose you meant to say page layout as master pages are not for PDF output.

Try setting the source file to 96dpi.

If you open the image in Paint and look at the file properties, what Resolution does it show?

Hi, I have an image that I would like to extend outside the page layout frame at the bottom a little (about 30px). I would rather avoid having to create another page layout just for this instance. The <img> element is inside a <p> element. Is there a way to do this using local styling in the topic? ...

Just wanted to give a massive thanks to Jeff (Chicago_HPT) for the Flare Import Prep macro. I have just converted 10 projects to Flare and your macro saved me a good few days' of extra work.

Jeff, you rock!

Thanks for testing this Nita. MadCap have confirmed it is a bug.

Cheers

Adrian

I tried creating a brand new project using the wizard. Same result so I have submitted a bug.

Thanks
