Currently we produce help outputs for our various applications in either WebHelp or HTML5 formats. This help is for web/browser based applications and the help launches in the user's default browser. Recently we've been thinking we would like to display this help directly/embedded into the app as ...

We are also struggling with this issue as had wanted to use HTML5 output in a help set likely to be viewed on Mobile devices - most commonly the IPAD.. Another less serious limitation we noted on the IPAD was that user cannot resize the "navigation pane" it just stays fixed to whatever its set at..

I found it a little cumbersome to specify the tooltip in HTML 5 skin.. Only way to do it, that i could figure, was to open the skin in the text editor and define new tooltip properties in the <Strings> section.. I submitted an enhancement request to see about getting custom button Text properties ...

I was having exactly the same problem with the Heading not spanning across both Index columns, and your solution fixed it perfectly.

However, now I have a new problem that there is no longer an "Index" entry in the Bookmarks pane of the PDF. The last entry in my TOC is called Index and it links to ...

Hello,

We've been using Flare for a couple months, and suddenly noticed Spell-Check hasn't been working. Following the documentation, I then went to Project, Project Properties, and on the Language tab selected "English (united states)" - it had been set to "default", not sure what that corresponds ...

We're just going about the process of creating a Glossary in our project, and I was wondering if there's an easy to import text/terms from another document format (FrameMaker, Word, etc) into the glossary. One of our writers has created a Word document with a couple hundred terms/definitions we want ...

So what that means is that you will have to insert this code for every table.

Thanks! That started to seem like alot of work, so I just ended up renaming my "FrameMaker" medium to "print" and doing away with the default "print" medium. I hope the Flare documentation will add some clarity ...

OK. I have gotten the word on this situation from MadCap. It turns out that I had made a new medium (named "framemaker ") and was trying to use it for my FrameMaker documents. The alternate TableStylesheet selected via the Print Style button on the Table Properties db only applies to the medium ...

Well, if I was using an auto-numbered style, then I see how I can just call the span call by the autonumber format code.. But I don't think I can "automate" anything like that with the "standard" lists I am using.

I'd much prefer to use some auto-number styles, as I'd already created several which ...

Thanks! I've already discounted an "auto-numbering setup" because it caused us some other problems with what we were trying to do, and I also don't think I want to make people apply a span-class to each list item. It was only for our printed output (which is secondary) that I was wanting bold list ...

I have what I thought was a very simple problem, but it's turning out to be more than I expected. I'm using the standard HTML lists in Flare, and have tweaked the default ol/ul/li styles to almost give me the presentation I want. The only thing is I wanted my ordered step numbers to be bold and the ...

Has anyone had any success getting negative values in a Flare Stylesheet for things like text indents, spacing, alignment, etc, to translate correctly into FrameMaker? I am finding negatives always get treated/converted as 0. For example, if in my stylesheet I set "margin-bottom" for a style to 6pt ...

It's not ideal and a little limiting, but I've now been able to work around this problem by replacing all my
"Auto-Number" paragraph styles with Flare's default Bulleted and Numbered lists. When I do this, I notice my Steps get outputted to FrameMaker just as I wanted (First and Left indents set ...

I am having the same problem as mentioned in the original post. But I already have the "mc-auto-number-position" set to "outside-head" and this doesn't seem to make a difference to my Print medium/ FrameMaker output even though it was coming out perfectly fine in my Help medium. In FrameMaker, it ...
