That's perfect, thanks! One more question though, is there a way to alter this jQuery script to open the link in a new tab/window? I've tried a few things by my limited knowledge of jQuery doesn't get me too far.

I know this is a very old topic, but it looks like this is still the way to do this ...

I'm very new to the HTML5 output, but overall find it to be a huge improvement over the previous web format. I am running into one strange issue though. Our help is broken up into a number of topics of course, and one of those is basically an Information page about who we are and how to contact us ...

Two other thoughts...

The only connection between RDP and Flare is .net. So perhaps it is worth doing a repair on .net; also ensure you are on the latest v4.5.2.

Another idea worth considering is to delete the ..\Flare\ MadCap Flare V10.mcdat file and then restart Flare.

I also suggest you ...

I use Flare 10 and Win 7 at work and sometimes a remote desktop connection from a Mac laptop at home. The RDC is running in Mac OS, I'm not using VM or native Windows on the Mac. I have two monitors at work and just the laptop display at home. It works that way. So it is not a generic problem with ...

We've been using Flare since version 4 with the original goal of adding HTML help to our application, and the long term goal of using it for our print documentation as well (our print documentation is in Adobe InDesign). We're now up to version 10 of Flare, and we STILL aren't able to use Flare for ...

I've run int a nasty issue with Flare v10. Normally at work I have a Windows 7 Professional Desktop with two monitors attached that I use to run Flare v10 (along with many other programs of course). Sometimes when I'm sick, or for other reasons, I work remotely from home using Microsoft's Remote ...

I'm getting frustrated with Flare 9 and trying to use it with my multi-monitor setup. I like to put some of the windows on my second monitor, but when I restart the program any windows I've moved to the other monitor won't display and I have to manually display them and move them around again ...

That's probably a good workaround for now Lisa. It's been a long while since I altered my stylesheet by hand. How would I create the two different classes for the medium? It works like an override doesn't it?

You make a good point, however I don't know how I would do that with a paragraph class. Any suggestions?

I'm not sure if this is a bug, but it's frustrating.

I have a paragraph style for a checkbox in front of the paragraph. The way I went about this was to create a span class that uses the Webdings font. I then use that span class in the Auto Number editor of the paragraph class to create the empty ...

Does Flare 7 finally support this?

I should make clear, that one of the goals in whatever approach we use is to create one complete file that is easily distributed. We aren't willing to setup an elaborate structure of directories for the PDF files (or any other kind). Is converting to images my only option to achieve this?

Your suggestion to convert the PDF's to HTML is intriguing since they are text, lines and some basic colors, it should be possible. A lot would depend on the quality of the converter. Does anyone have suggestions on what software to use to do this? Any experience using them?

Hi all,

I've been working on updating our User Guide and upgraded to Flare 7 along the way. I have a question about output options, specifically about PDF's that are included in the user guide.

For web help there's no problem, I just have a link that opens the PDF file in the browser's PDF viewer ...

Hi all,

I've noticed an irritating behavior in Flare, and I'm trying to figure out why this is happening and if I can do anything to fix it.

I have a project that contains the help for our program. It's used primarily to develop local chm files for now. I have two TOCs in the project. One contains ...

I gave Madcap support a call (might as well use up those phone calls) and they resolved it like this:


p.CheckLine
{
width: 100%;
border-bottom: solid 1px #000000;
font-family: 'Times New Roman';
border-bottom-style: solid;
border-bottom-width: 1px;
border-bottom-color: #000000;
font-size ...

The second idea is a good one, but when I try it I'm not getting the results I'm expecting (or wanting).

I created a line class as such:


hr.CPLine
{
padding-top: 6px;
}


But the results look like this:

What I want is something like this:

Hi all,

I'm creating a table that will be a series of instructions with an area for the user to check-off each step. So the first column of the table will be the number of the step, the second column will be a line for them to place a check-mark when finished, and the third column the instructions ...

Hi all,

I noticed a problem (probably a "bug") with my html output with some heading text in a table. Here's a screenshot:

10-26-2009 2-25-14 PM.png

There's not padding to the heading class I'm using that should cause this problem:


h2.CPIconSubHeading
{
font-family: Impact;
font-size: 100 ...

The table class I have set up does set the rows to top vertical alignment, and it appears as the screen shot shows.

Hello all,

I've been working on other projects but now I'm back to doing some documentation work. I have a case in which I'm using an image for each item I'm describing in a table. However the alignment looks terrible. Here's how it looks in Flare:

This is how it ...

OK, now it works right. I was confusing the variables in the brackets {} with the ID's before the colon. Now I get it. Thanks for the help!

Are you referring to the "A:" in your previous code example?
Is that they ID you were referring to?

The problem as far as I can tell is that variable "n" and "a" are actually the same variable, just represented in a different way.
Those aren't variables, they're list IDs -- they're a way of identifying which items are part of the same number sequence. When you don't have the identifiers, it ...

OK here are the three paragraph classes in use:


p.CPNumParentheses

mc-hyphenate-shortest-word: 6;
mc-hyphenate-shortest-prefix: 3;
mc-hyphenate-shortest-suffix: 3;
mc-hyphenate-maximum-adjacent-line-count: 0;

color: #000000;
