(this could probably be posted to the style group instead, but since it works properly for HTML output, I'm left to figure it is more likely a PDF issue. Consider the following style definitions: .Box { width: 90%; padding: 10px; border: 2px solid #000; margin: 15px; background: #EEE; } .SmBox { wid...

Flare V4 How might I configure the style for <a> tags do that the generated PDF causes Acrobat to load the link in a browser rather than within Acrobat? This might generally be more of an issue for those with Acrobat Pro (which will happily try to append the web content to the current PDF), and migh...

The styles for the various headings are only one level down from the parent (i.e. h3.Additional and h3.References, etc.), so they'd only inherit from the base h3 class, which I wouldn't want to change.

Flare 4. Novice user. Wherever the name of the product (and a variety of other things) are referenced in our documentation, they're specified as a snippet. This works fine on the individual topics, but where the TOC grabs the content of the first H1 to use as the title of the TOC entry, it does not ...

Using Flare v4 As an example, one application command allows exactly ONE of in/out/over, though there are single character options i/o/u (hey, I didn't decide on the parm syntax!). Complicating matters somewhat is that the application allows either a slash or hyphen as a switch character (identifyin...

Thanks for the prompt followup.

In case anyone else comes wondering, Flare V4 is installing MS SQL Compact Edition v3.5

My development/editing system already has the full-blown version of MS SQL Server 2005 installed. The System Requirements for Flare V4 include: "Microsoft SQL Compact Edition (except on Windows 2000) (Installed on first use run of Flare)" Sure enough, when I launch Flare V4 after installin...
