I'm having exactly the same issue. My CSS previously prevented the display of the transparent gif - Flare is overriding that now. I can't compare now, but maybe it's a new/different css class.

I've added the following to my CSS to fix it.

This is brilliant zappy and Dave, thanks so much! Working beautifully now. Also my open/close icon is switching. I'm using an icon font. For reference, I've put my code at the end of the document, not the head, with various other scripts that I've pinched :oops: , and it all still works. <script src...

Thanks zappy, but have you got that working in sidenav? Flare is tripping any content out of my body tag and replacing it with the "web" class.

Has anyone accomplished this with side navigation yet? I've been trying out the methods on older posts but nothing's worked for me yet.
I'm not sure if that's to do with Flare 2019, the side nav target, or, heaven forbid(!), the fact that I just suck at scripting...

TIA!

Decoration and image frames are unfortunately not supported in Word output so yes, you might need to rethink how the layout is presented in Word. Normally you'd need to create a specific Word layout and use the Word Overlay view (depending on your Flare version) when setting it up, so you can see wh...

Hi Wayne,

I've tried and failed as well . A workaround was to place rotated images instead of the text, but that was only a small one-off table so it's probably not practical in most situations.

Might be worth logging an enhancement request?

Hello Margaret! As far as I know there were four Melburnians there, including myself, and it was thoroughly worth the long trip. It was fantastic to meet other MadCap personalities and users, and I took away loads of great information and new contacts. And San Diego itself is a wonderful place to vi...

It works fine in web output but just loses any styling in print. I logged a bug and it was put in as a feature request :) . But in the meantime all the variables have to go back into <span>s :cry: The response from MadCap: "Variables are not meant to be styled and this would be a feature sugges...

I've just had sudden and late discovery that while my header/footer etc. variables style beautifully in page layout frames, it seems that you can't directly style a variable in regular topic content using a variable class. For example, I have a variable set that includes all the many modules in our ...

I've done this sort of thing using layouts. I created a Footer (could have been a Header) frame and popped it on to the side of the page instead of the bottom. Then I put in an image that filled the area (as a background I think) and overlaid the variables (page number, chapter name etc.). Then styl...

It varies... For HTML5 targets: Open the HTML5 target Click Styles Click Logo In the Properties pane, open Background properties Click the BackgroundImage value, click Browse for Image , and select the new image For a Webhelp target: Open the target Click Styles Open ToolbarItem Click Logo In the Pr...

Welcome!

I use the following code in a PDF output, and the generated page numbers in the PDF display the page number of the top level topic (and go there too when clicked) i.e. to the top of Reports.htm, and never jump to the #DistributingReports bookmark way down in that same topic. All the content after # ...

Just tried that last advice for topic popups and it didn't work. Tried using % and ems and no change at all. However, just used the Web Developer tool for Firefox (brilliant thing that it is) and discovered the following two style classes that will change a few things in topic popups: .MCPopupBody -...

Thanks for that information. Just deleted the second body frame in the offending layout and all was well.

Shame I couldn't keep the body frame though - I spent ages getting it to look beautiful!

Gah! I was barking up the wrong tree then. Thanks Steve. I was really hoping that was *not* it but did have a sneaking suspicion that might be the case. I'm used to working with database structures so my mind just works that way. I'll give snippets a go then. I've got a horrible feeling I'm going to...

Is there a way to set up a WebHelp target/CSS so that all my very short <h2> level topics (release notes) will display on a single html page (in TOC order under their <h1> topic content)? ie More like printed output. As each <h2> topic is so short and there's no content at the <h1> level, there are ...
