Re: Whoa! There must be a better way of displaying styles!

What version are you using? I don't recall crashing in v9 and v10 doesn't crash. I never use this pull-down (prefer either the side-style list or hand-coding) so perhaps my quick testing now wasn't enough. :!: I stand corrected!! I gladly admit my mistake. It would crash for versions 8 and 9. I'm ...

Re: Whoa! There must be a better way of displaying styles!

I think the Style Picker has always been limited to 20 styles. I don't think it's anything new/buggy in Flare 10. Yeah, it's not a bug, but I agree with the original author of this thread. I reported it to MadCap, also, as I do not feel that we should be limited and everyone works in different ways ...

Re: Formatting for drop-down headings does not carry over

Dave Lee wrote: It's a bug - virtually no drop down formatting works in Mobile - i.e. |DropDown, |DropDownBody, |DropDownhead, or |DropDownHotspot and its pseudo classes (like hover).

(Mobile has a few other style bugs too - e.g. you can't have multiple body classes.)
Ah. Thanks, Dave, I appreciate it.

Re: Formatting for drop-down headings does not carry over

Thanks, I've looked at the generated code since you brought this to my attention. Frankly, I have no idea what to make of it. I'm using Version 9. When I first started creating drop-down areas using the heading as the first line, I let the entire heading be the hot spot. I also read the Flare help ...

Formatting for drop-down headings does not carry over

I use drop-downs a lot in WebHelp : headings, field explanations, figures, and tables. They all work perfectly. I did not create a separate CSS for Mobile . Everything looks just fine, just like WebHelp, including the drop-downs—with one exception: drop-down headings. Why just that one? Why isn't i ...

Re: WebHelp not displaying in Chrome

@jamesw, what do you have under Extensions ? I have only two: Ipsum.com and Grammarly Lite. I know Firefox has given me fits in the past because of certain extensions (or too many, for sure); so, I've kept Chrome down to a minimum. Also, what about your proxy settings under Settings > Network ...

Re: WebHelp not displaying in Chrome

I've had no problems with Chrome, ever. I'm not saying this to rub it in; rather, if I'm not getting the same issues, it must be a setting.

I do have Insert Mark of the Web checked for my targets. Has anyone tried this and still had problems?

Rating stars don't appear for external visitors

We successfully got Pulse up and running on our Production server for WebHelp. We have chosen not to enable the "Community" functionality for customers as we do not want people uploading files (especially videos). So, the whole "discussion board" aspect does not appear. We just want the reports and ...

Re: Responsive HTML5 Output

I've considered creating responsive HTML5 output, myself. I know it won't be easy, as we'd really have to tweak in order for Flare to create what we want. I have bigger fish to fry right now, but I'm certainly interested in the topic and will keep an eye on it. I may submit a feature request, if it ...

Re: HTML5 output in Action!

Our company is now officially making the transition from "documentation" to "information delivery" by producing WebHelp and Mobile help. Our site isn't large or robust . . . yet. We decided to begin with our smallest project, then add from there. Our help system will grow tremendously, as our ...
