Hello all,

I hope this question finds you in good health.

I am used to creating PDFs with Flare but want to doing something in HTML5. Is it possible to put in a background image in a page?

I hope you are all doing well in this time of crisis.

I have two tables, each has two rows with the bottom row having two columns. First column is set to 10%. Column two to is set to Auto.

Please see image. Why isn't column one in table one the same width as column one in table two. They have the ...

G'day,

How to I ensure my logo aligns hard left. By default it is centre. Please see attached image.

Thank you,

Canaussie

Ok, thank you Steve for your help. I can sleep tonight.

Great tip...I also started a new project to see what the default settings were for the <ul> tag and found the culprit.

Margin-Left was set to 37px...default is 40. I changed it to 40...all good now, the bullets are back in town.

One final question....If I mess with a style and decide to set it ...

Thanks for the reply.

Plain bullets made no difference in the output.

Thank you...

<ul style="list-style-type: square;">
<li>Company</li>
<li>Cost Type</li>
<li>Description</li>
</ul>

Perhaps it's something in the style sheet? Where to look?

Thank you again.

G'day,

I have bullets in my project and they show in my html 5 output but not in my chm file. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you,

Canaussie

Thanks

I just updated the driver for my graphics card (3rd time this year) and that has fixed the issue.

I have defeated the giants.

Canaussie

G'day.

I recently updated from Windows 8.1 to Winn 10 and now when I open Flare, I get a cursor from the Land of the Giants. Has anyone else experienced this and if so what is the fix?
Thank you,

Canaussie

Nice...in fact, very nice

Thank you, Sir.

Hello,

Great posts, thank you so much. So, how would I expand the second drop down instead of the first?

Canaussie

G'day,

I know how to replace the icon in a drop-down list but would like to use a larger arrow (icon) than currently allowed, Which setting in the stylesheet will allow a larger icon? Using the current setting, a larger icon gets cut off on all four sides.

Cheers,

CanAussie

Thank you so much.

Canaussie

Thank you both for your suggestions, the top margin on the body was exactly what I was looking for with a space of 10px. Perfect.

Canaussie

G'day

I am fairly new to the HTML output, how in the SS do I create more space between the dropdown hotspot and body? Please see attachement.

Cheers,

Canaussie

G'day,

We have a VB6 Windows application and have been using a CHM file for help but would like to switch to HTML 5. Will the developers be able to configure it so we have context-sensitive help?

Thank you and cheers!

Hello fellow Flareians,

My H4 tags are behaving badly. I have them set at 14 pt but in the generated pdf, these headings come out small. It's driving me crazy. I use the same stylesheet for another project and everything there gets rendered fine.

What gives?

G'day,

I am using the latest version of Flare. How do I control the font size of the number that is at the bottom of the auto generated TOC?

CanAussie

Hello and thank you,

it is for printed output. I will have a look.

Canaussie

G'day

How do I fix up the font sizes in the TOC? As you can see in the attached image, the subheadings appear "stronger" than the main topics.

I appreciate your help.

G'day,

It's been a while and what I am look to do is have the bullet points in a list line up with regular text. In other words, no indent.

What do I alter to make this happen?

SAMPLE:

My wife wants me to:

- Wash the Dishes
- Do the Laundry
- Dress like a lumberjack.

Please help.

Cheers ...

G'day Madcap Lovers,

Please see the attached image. I have created this Note box using advice gathered in this forum...thank you to those who helped.

Now, having the word Note and the Notepad image seems a bit redundant. Is it possible to place the notepad image where the word Note is (see crudely ...

Hey fellow Flare lovers..

Excuse my ignorance, but what is all this "stuff" in the html tag of some of my topics:

G'day,

I have output to CHM and Print but now I need to do Webhelp Plus. First question...

Please look at the attached image (captured from Digital River's Flare help)....where it says "Help Central Home"...how do I set the properties of this bar...size, graphics, text, etc?

Cheers,

Canaussie ...
