MadCap Software Forums

The first time a glossary term appears in a paragraph, it is highlighted. but when you click on that highlighted term, nothing happens.

Such highlighted terms used to pop up a glossary definition of the term but that pop up stopped working.

what is causing this issue? is there some setting that ...

i have a table in my output that has a little extra line at the end of one row, as if it is part of an extra column.

in the madcap interface there is a style tag showing at the end of that row, but i can't figure out how to delete it.

any suggestions?

here is a screenshot of the stray tag ...

when i run a search for a certain word or phrase w/in my flare output, and then click on the page that contains the result, the highlighted hits have changed colors.

does anyone know what stylesheet tag effects search result hits?

In my flare help output, if you search for a term that is found in the glossary, and then select a page on which it is found, the instances of the term is highlighted on the page, as it should be, but it also shows where the term appears in glossary definitions that appear on that page. That looks ...

thanks Dave, i now know to avoid using the toolbar to format, and watch out for formatting left over from the initial imported project.
though i have mainly used the toolbar to create bulleted lists. it seems like when i do that, flare uses the stylesheet defined formatting for those lists. is ...

thanks for all of your help on this stuff, folks.

i think i have a topic page that is showing all of the relevant style elements. after trying to efficiently control style elements for the last year, i'm pretty happy.

though going through each topic page's properties, and manually changing the ...

i also found the format toolbar, but i see no place where i can, "unformat"

thank you, Mr. Lee.

it may have been imported when it was originally created.

where on this page can i go to "unformat"?

to which toolbar are you referring?


as you see i do have the formatting window up as well, but when i change the background color there, it just goes back to #ffffff ...

here, i uploaded the two pics as attachments to the forum... can you see these?

the top one should be the sole stylesheet's listing for the background color of the "li" element, and

the bottom one should be the style window's listing of that element's background color (not as it is set in the ...

thank you,

i'd not changed the stylesheet to default in the project properties yet.

now i am able to apply the one stylesheet in my project to individual pages (tho setting it at the target level doesn't work... but that is ok)

but when i make some changes to some elements of the stylesheet ...

so i looked at the stylesheet editor and i selected "stylesheet links"

and it says that the only stylesheet available for my project is "MadCap", which i assume it the default stylesheet that is displaying on every topic.

this is odd because i have created and named a stylesheet and applied it to ...

thank you,

i have already set the project and target level stylesheets... is there a way to undo that? i see there is an option to pick my stylesheet or default. but there is not a way to have it not set.

i am sure i have asked this before

but i am still unable to get stylesheets to actually effect any topics

i have gone as far as to remove the old stylesheet, and then changed it to the new one.

now i have default stylesheet showing on all topics though on the primary target page i have the ...

thank you, Dave i will try that instead.

thank you, Dave.

i will try that if this doesn't work. i almost have the script for the pop up window using the master page.

the only thing that is missing is the text that will refer to the topics inside the master page. (see red box in top screen shot below)

is there some script that is ...

in the text editor, i put this java script for the page opening instructions and settings.

assigned it to the target. did a build

and i get an error when i preview any topic saying that the stylesheet for that master page doesn't ...

thank you,

so i set up a master page. and put in some javascript w/ open page instructions, etc. (see screen shot)

and i assigned it to my target under <advanced> <master page> in the target editor.

so should that do it?

now, when a link opens the help topics, they will be inside that master ...

do i need to have the application developers add a...

" <a target="my_new_window" href=...> "

...to the links before they go to the flare topics?

or is there a place i can put that text in the flare interface?

i want to adjust the skin of my project to make topic links (context sensitive and otherwise) pop up in a new window that is set to a certain size, anchored to the top right of the screen.

i created a new skin and i think i set the anchor arrows to top right, and the size of the window. the ...

had to delete the paragraph tag in the internal text editor...

thanks, ltinker

wow, that is great... it was just the history... i deleted the cache and cookies on the mozilla browser, re-ran my search... and looked at the glossary and my changes were reflected...

thanks guys!!!

=)

i made some changes to the glossary for my webhelp project and also changed the names of some topic titles (under topic properties) to make sure they didn't show old terms when those old terms were searched.

everything showed correctly in the flare interface, but after i built, published and svn ...

Thanks Lisa,

so the space that is above the header line is shown in the html blocks (then body, then p, etc.), and not in the ruler area above the topic page.

how do i edit that? or remove the space, do i have to edit the html directly? or is there a way to do it from the xml editor?

also, how ...

i noticed that one of my topics had a space at the top of the page that i could not get rid of.

i looked at the area around the page (1st screen shot below) in the flare interface and noticed that there was extra space at the top and it said table columns and text markup in that space.

another ...
