I would like to know your solution please.

I've implemented something like this but with using 'figure' and 'figcaption' (that I learned from another post on this forum) figure { display: block; } figcaption { font-size: 70%; margin-top: -2px; mc-auto-number-format: "CF:Figure\00A0{chapnum}.{n+}:\00A0"; } My question, how do I refe...

I agree with: Unfortunately, I've found Pending Changes to be buggy (with TFS) since Flare v12. ... and I do report bugs to MadCap. However, I very rarely get anywhere with support. I have many source control issues with TFS and Flare (and I agree, 'since version 12'). I have to use Visual Studio to...

Question for your SharePoint html5 publishing. Would you mind sharing with me how you upload the output to SharePoint?

Kelly, did you find an answer to publishing to SharePoint?

When I use the solution you explain in this post, the resulting output has the list in a table. Why is that?

I also have lagging issues with Flare. I really do not think it is outside of Flare for the most part. Even when doing a simple rename of a topic it takes a long time for Flare to respond. Even when task manager has zero to 5 percent processor usage and the memory is fine, Flare still takes a long t...

I don't think there is any way to avoid this. It's a total pain in the rear end, isn't it! To get over the problem I have a whole series of search-and-replace scripts in FAR HTML that do all sorts of things to the imported HTMLs to clean them up before doing anything else. Join ul lists, because at...

Thank you @msander for the work you did on the plugin.

Does the To Do feature only work with notations marked with TODO: ?

How do you use the code solution of: The key to techwriter31's comment: We have a couple of PDF mediums in our stylesheets for our various PDF page sizes.

Here's a brief suggestion: Thank you for your reply :) Another thing you might want to do is edit your stylesheets in Notepad++ I use Notepad++ :wink: Doing a comparison is a great idea. I do that all the time for other stuff, not sure why I didn't think of that for this. Thanks again, I've caused ...

I'm just going to be honest here, I suck :? at keeping my CSS clean and manageable. Also, I would like to use a master project to link other projects. Does anyone have a good suggestion as to consolidating 1-to-many style sheets into just one; in order that, styling used from each style sheet is pre...

Having used InDesign prior to Flare, I don't want to discourage you, but I didn't find an easy way to move from ID to Flare. I finally landed on converting to Flare by way of Word. To get there you need to export the INDD file as PDF, then save the PDF as a Word Document (or HTML if you wish). ( see...

We are having a different problem with 2017 Preview. In a coworker's Flare installation, when attempting to preview a topic as PDF, the preview window doesn't open at all. Rather, the topic is sent to her Adobe PDF reader. This only occurs in her Flare installation. Before she upgraded to v.2017, t...

I've already sent TONS of crash reports to madcap but haven't got any fix yet. Have you submitted a bug via https://www.madcapsoftware.com/feedback/bugs.aspx :?: If you are only submitting from the crash dialog that is displayed, it has been my experience at least, you will not receive a reply.

Check whether there is something different in the way these pages are being loaded, such as a link to a bookmark vs. a link to the page itself. After checking, links are loaded to the page itself; not using bookmarks. Check whether there is anything different in the HTML formatting of the page, a d...

Nita Beck wrote:Jamey, where are you applying the master page, at the target level or at the topic level?

To my understanding, at the Target level; at least that is the only location I reference a master page.

Does anyone know how to correct the following?

I have a strange issue where a link from the TOC displays the master page formatting correctly (see below):

When a page is displayed that did not link from the TOC, the master page formatting is different. (see below):

Resurrecting an old thread, but has there been a solution to this issue?

What source control system are you using, BaritoneJP? We are using MS Visual SourceSafe. It was what my company already had a license for ... other than performance, I haven't had issues with VSS. I have submitted bug reports in the past for VSS and Flare but haven't seen much traction. I think tha...

How many topics do yo have in the project? 357 topics Even without source control I find that opening a project where most if not all of the content is at the "root" of the Content Explorer takes ages, so I took the time to move my content files into sub-folders. I found this helped great...

With the continuing advancement of software [that I'm a technical writer], I have a project file that is getting (I think) too large. But what is a large project file? what makes it too big? What I'm experiencing: [I'm using Source Control] import times are long, "get latest versions" are ...

MooTools is just another JavaScript framework and I'm closing with if that is what you are talking about.

I think I'm just going to search for another that uses jquery now that I know that Flare includes that in the html5 targets.

Thank you for your help.

I'm trying to use a MooTools based drop down navigation at the top of each topic. (I'm testing to see if I can use Flare to build a web site and not going to display the TOC) This uses ul and li items to make the list. I put the script links in the master page and @import the css in the main flare s...
