Code snippets and softwrap

Is there a way of soft wrapping the text in Code snippets? The text just keeps going.

Not a big problem in Web output as a scroll bar appears. However, in Word and PDF output, the text simply disappears at the right page margin.

Re: Flare 2018 changes Capture styles

The new integrated Capture is simply Capture given away. It is the same version 7.0.

I think that the issue may be updates made to the MadCap CSS that get bundled in when building a target.

Flare 2018 changes Capture styles

We have a lot of numbered palette items in our projects, and Flare 2018 changes how all of them look. Considering how many we have and the time that would be required to change them all, we are sticking with 2017.

R3 Style panel mouseover issue

I just upgraded to R3 and found a bit of an irritant. The Style Panel now has a mouse over that really gets in the way as your scroll down your list of styles and gets in the way. I haven't found a setting for turning it off, has anyone else found one?

New system variables from Flare not recognized by Analyzer

It seems that Analyzer still does not recognize new system variables that were added in the 2017 Flare release, for example: system.linkedheader.

As a matter of fact there have been no updates to Analyzer in 2 years. Makes me wonder if it is going to be phased out.

ChoccieMuffin: Yes, you can simply enter the text in the Label field. We often have variables in titles and headings, so variables in the label was a god-send for us.

Re: 2017 R2 broke all of my TOCs

Thanks Nita,

I checked my Word and PDF output and there are clean. Thanks, that somewhat eases my concern.

However, my Tripane output does have the broken labels.

They work fine in out Word and PDF output, but in our ePubs, but due to the responsive nature of ePubs (user control font size, etc.) it doesn't make sense to have static page number listed.

Re: Flare 12, GIT, and importing

I'm able to use SourceTree to work in the origin repo. I was able to clone a local copy as well, so I don't think it is a permission or incorrect network reference. I snagged some IT time today, perhaps they can suggest something. Morgan, thanks for the clarification in your note. That cleared some ...

Re: GIT Repository with multiple projects

Thanks Morgan, Perry,

So as I thought, Flare integration wants one repository for each each project. Almost tempted to simply use SourceTree or something, but the integration was a selling point with the other authors.

GIT Repository with multiple projects

I have read that GIT repositories could contain multiple code projects in them, however I've also read the Flare assumes that each Flare project would have it's own repository.

Can multiple Flare projects be bound to a single GIT repository?
