MadCap Software Forums

The code below was generated by a webstore. When I insert this code I get this error when I try to open it in the WYSIWYG editor: "[XML: 'hspace' is an unexpeced token. The expected token is '='. Line 13, position 202.]" What do I need to do to this code to fix this code? Thanks, Jeff G. <...

Thanks for posting, Jane. It does seem like there is an obvious need for this feature.

Thanks, it is good to know that I'm not alone. I believe I've entered this as a bug, but it wouldn't hurt if you did as well. It might increase the likelihood that MadCap fixes it in the next version.

I never had a problem with including my autonumbers in my TOC, but thanks anyway. The autonumbers appeared without much hassle that I remember. If this is a problem for someone, I'll see if I can delve into it and figure out how I did it without problem. The reason for this post in the first place w...

I set my TOC1 mc-auto-number-format to {chapternum}.{page} and rebuilt my PDF. It seems that this setting was completely ignored. Any other ideas? Did I do what you suggest correctly?

Another week has past and still no one has told me clearly whether or not it is posible to add chapter numbers to my TOC, Index, and Xrefs. I'm still betting I'm up a creak, but it seems like such a common need that it surprises me that it is missing from the software.

You're a genius! It worked! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

The screen shot is from the WebHelp output. The only options for mc-leader-align are center, inherit, left, and right. There isn't an option for top or bottom. I'm not sure what that option means and it is only set to inherit because I was messing with hoping, like you, that it was the answer to my ...

I just realized the code for the applied style might help the conversation along. h1 { font-weight: bold; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 15pt; mc-auto-number-position: outside-head; mc-auto-number-offset: .30in; margin-left: .30in; margin: .30in; margin-bottom: .10in; margin-right: 0; margin-top: ...

In the example below, the J is vertically centered on the paragraph. I would rather it be flush with the top of the paragraph. Any ideas on how to do this? If it helps, this only happens in my WebHelp output and not in my direct to PDF output. Also, I'm using v. 4.0. AutoNumberVerticallyCentered.jpg

doc_guy, I think your tip will work. I haven't tried it yet, but it sure sounds plausible. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks!

I looked at text boxes, but I couldn't find a "column" property for them. I could create two text boxes side by side, but that too would be more trouble than it is worth.

Yeah, if you go that route you have to create a modified version of each style you want to use in the table. Then, I've had problems getting paragraph styles to appear the same in a table as they would if they weren't in a table. I've had much better luck keeping things simple by using the TD and TH...

I experimented with Word 2007 and no dice. The HTML it outputs just has the text in a single column. I guess this just isn't possible in HTML without tables. Here's a corallary question, does Flare have a "Convert Text to Table" feature? If it is there, I've looked and haven't found it.

I'm outputting to WebHelp and directly to PDF. Looks like I'm up a creek.

In my Page Layout Footers I'm using the ChapterNumber variable and the PageNumber variable. How do I get the ChapterNumber variable into my TOC, et. al?

Thanks, but I don't think I made myself clear. Here's the situation. I have several long lists where each bullet point is one to five words long. I would like to make these lists double columned to conserve paper and make them look better. I don't want the entire page double columned, just the list....

I posted this a while ago and haven't heard from anyone. I'm assuming that what I'm asking is impossible. At least tell me I'm right so I can stop spinning my wheels on this. BTW I'm using 4.0.

I want columns just like Microsoft Word has, but I don't want to do it with tables. Is there a way to take a list and make it balance itself between columns without a lot of effort or headache?

Thank you!

I need the section number included with my page number in my TOC, Index, and XRefs. I've looked and looked and couldn't find anything in the online help or on this site. This seems so basic that I must be missing something simple. Below is rough sample TOC of what I need. The index would be similar....

I have a 200+ topic system and I've automated the Glossary feature by enabling "Convert first occurence of term". Let me just say this is an awesome feature! I have a minor problem, though. One of my terms is the acronym "CO" for "Coordinator" and another is "CD&qu...

I want to create and print a Table of Tables and a Table of Figures along with my traditional Table of Contents (TOC). I have successfully created a traditional TOC page for my printed output, but there doesn't seem to be a way to clone this page and point the TOC Proxy to any other TOC than the one...

I prefer to center my text.

I figured out how to accomplish what I want in the HTML version by setting the box.margin-bottom, but it doesn't work when printing to Word. I need both! Help!
