Re: Flare 2020 and Azure DevOps Server for source control?

Please keep me in the loop on this subject. I need to evaluate the viability of Flare integration with ADO so I can intelligently sell the solution to my dev team. Thank you. Craig

Re: Easy way to remove span class?

Why not revise the CSS and change the background-color for these classes? No HTML editing is required. Elaboration of simple suggestion: in your CSS create a new media, e.g. colorless, set the background-color for those classes for that media, and apply whichever media is appropriate to the target. ...

Re: Keep end punctuation with inline icon?

Lisa's suggestions are bang on. But I'm curious: if you add a few words or remove a few words from the sentence so the icon and period will be in the middle of the page, does the period still wrap?

Re: Editing the style for hyperlinks

Open your stylesheet using the internal editor (or any basic text editor) and search for "font-style:italic;" or "font-style: italic;". One or more of your hits will be on a, a:link, a:visited, a:focus, a:hover, and/or a:active.

Re: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

My experience has been that this error occurs when, during target generation, the Flare engine hits a conditional statement, e.g. <span MadCap:conditions="cond.Pre-Release">...</span>, that references a condition tag that does not exist. If a condition tag has been removed from or renamed ...

Re: tooltips?

This only works for v7. I'd suggest removing the '_' off the end of each class name, and it'll work in v6 and v7. Good catch. However, after a minute or two of testing, I found this quite annoying; because the glossary will pop-up on a mouseover, but you then have to click to get rid of it. That me...

I've taken the original code, which only supported onmouseover() for glossary terms, and expanded it to work for any number of dropdowns, expanding text, and togglers in a topic. <script type="text/javascript">/*<![CDATA[*/ window.onload = onclick2onmouseover; function onclick2onmouseover(...

My WebHelp miniTOCProxy now doesn't indent each level (margin-left: 2em, then 4em, then 6em, etc.) like it did in v6.1. Modifying p.MiniTOC1 etc. doesn't address the new p.MiniTOC1_0's. What to do?
