I make sure I tick the "Use standard list style type" checkbox in the Advanced Options tab. That seems to help with clean lists.

Also, I make sure I select the Flare style in the "Map to" dropdown in the Styles. It's easy to miss, but the top half is Flare and the bottom half is Word and they are ...

It would be rather nice if they fixed this rather than adding powerpoint output :p

I think Flare uses headings to generate the bookmarks automatically.

So I suppose you could specify the appropriate mc-heading-level for each of the p headings you need. Although I think that would affect your TOC, if you have one in the pdf, which you might not want.

Otherwise, there are some ...

I think I saw MadCap suggested using XML output instead. I suppose then you could use a post-build script to run XSLT to convert the XML to dita output?

I'm definitely not an expert though, so hopefully others with more experience can help. In the meantime, hopefully my words will let you do some ...

It's pretty easy to do in Flare if you start with simple (not paragraph) lists.

You start with a simple list like so:

<ul>
<li>One</li>
<li>Ttwo</li>
<li>Three</li>
</ul>

Then you want to enter a paragraph under Item two, so you press Enter to create a new list item, then press Tab to nest ...

Are you saying the breadcrumbs and mini-toc are not synchronising? Or do you mean that you are Topic B and want to link to the third occurrence of Topic A?

If it's the second option, I don't believe that's how the feature works. I think it's only for the breadcrumbs and mini-toc: https://help ...

Twelve years later, you should look at branding stylesheets.

I can't find anything that says it's not allowed, and the following example validated to both HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.0 using the W3C validator.

<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Title</title>

<p>Some more text</p>

I'm not entirely certain, but if you've done your research on what is more/less eco friendly, consider whether the following HTML5 target settings might be useful:

Search tab:
Chunk large search database files

Advanced tab:
Generate resized copies of scaled images
Include Javascript for CSH (turn ...

I just gave it a go and I'm not seeing the bold effect. Sorry I can't be any help. Chrome 134 and 135.

Psider

I should also note that if your target has a condition expression to exclude the tag, then the tag (and content) obviously won't be in the output. It only remains in if you tag the content, but don't exclude the tag in the condition expression.

Psider

It can be useful including the tags in the output. For example, in the past I've used it to highlight text for review

Or I believe some people have implemented a custom filtering system. They tag the content (e.g. Admin, Reception, Call Centre, or version numbers, whatever they want to use). Then ...

And you can find side and top structure bar buttons at the bottom of the topic pane when you have a topic open.

My quick test with Comic Sans MS worked.

The other thing is, are you using the name you defined in your @font-face definition? If you haven't configured that name, then it won't work.

Similarly if you haven't defined @font-face, but are relying on the font names you can see in the Font dropdown ...

I can't take credit. It's from a sample/tutorial project supplied by MadCap. It's the Austin one.

I'm assuming the Part 1, etc are added in the TOC only and don't appear in any topic?

If so, I found this thread:
https://forums.madcapsoftware.com/viewtopic.php?p=136974&hilit=toc+entry+styles#p136974

The tl;dr is 1) create a toc entry style in a Tripane skin, just so the style appears in the ...

Psider

There's no indicator or alert for this. But perhaps showing the left and top structure bars would help.

And I know you said you didn't want a report, but there is one that will show you exactly this problem. Under Analysis > Suggestions, select Markup Suggestions, then use the ...

Psider

I don't think there are any settings to control how Flare auto-creates bookmarks. I think it would be a nice option to have though, so do consider submitting a feature request.

Psider

Oh, nevermind, the toc entry class is not only just for tripane, it's also only the icons.

So let us know more about what you're trying to achieve and we can see if we can think of anything.

Psider

If you're using a HTML5 Tripane skin you can create a Toc Entry class in the skin and then apply that class to the specific entry in your TOC. But that functionality isn't available in Side Nav or Top Nav as far as I'm aware.

Otherwise, more information about what your trying to achieve in the ...

Psider

Could you have a snippet condition applied which excludes the snippet from the problem target?

Psider

While I don't use grid, I think it'll be fine in the output and you can ignore the error in Flare.

You might like to look at this thread where someone has posted a possible temporary workaround for the same error for flex. (And suggestions for bugging (sorry :) ) Madcap about it.)

You'll need to contact MadCap Support to see if you get that info.

I found an upgrade to DOMPurify 3.0.8 mentioned in the release notes for Flare 2024 under "Customer Reported Bugs". So contacting Support and getting a ticket raised is likely to bump it up their priorities, if it isn't already ...
