I made an error when typing point 2. Here's the corrected issue.

2. If there is no Primary Branding Stylesheet (either in Project Properties or assigned to the Primary Target), then the "Resolve css variables" setting is not honoured, and css variables are used in the output.

A bug ticket has been ...

Further to this, I found the following when a project has two branding stylesheets. (I assume this holds for more than 2 branding stylesheets but I didn't specifically test that scenario).

1. If "Resolve css variables" is set in a target, the Branding Stylesheet set in the target is ignored and the ...

Are you saying you were told li elements must contain a p element? If so I don't believe this is true based on the spec.

This also seems to only happen when "Remove inline formatting" is selected in the Advanced Options tab. If you have "Keep inline formatting" or "Convert inline formatting to CSS styles" the table styling appears correctly in the editor.

Psider

The import process doesn't seem to apply a "style" property to the table tag that includes a relative link to the table style. (You can compare the table tag code before and after manually applying the correct table style to see the difference.)

However, the table styling appears correct in the ...

I don't think there's any way to do what you want within Flare, because it doesn't know what's going to be in an output until you generate.

I'm not sure if the following would work ( I can't remember if images are affected by the setting), but it's easy to try.

Create a HTML5 target just for this ...

Is the web medium appropriate for the 17" monitor? If so you could redefine where the tablet breakpoint is so your normal web medium displays on the smaller monitor. You'd just change the Tablet breakpoint to a smaller number in the Target > Skin tab. Just asking the question, in case you'd just ...

I recently found a scenario with Concept tags causing blank pages in the pdf output.

1. You have a concept tag in a topic that is not contained within a regular HTML element INSIDE the body element. i.e. the madcap element is not inside a p, h1, li etc.
For example:

<body>
<MadCap:concept name ...

Support has logged a bug report for this issue for me. Number 184710.

If clearing the browser cache works consistently, perhaps there is a caching issue on the server. The Toc, search etc are javascript files that are generally considered static and thus cached for a long time (as I understand it). So uploading new items might mean some old javascript and new ...

I've just submitted a bug report for it. I'll try to remember to post back if/when I hear back.

I created a fresh project using the Austin Tutorial template and simply unticked the "resolve" checkbox. So it's exactly as MadCap set it up. --LogoImage: url('../Images/Styles/Austin-Logo-Online.png');

I should also clarify that when looking at the Styles.css file generated in the Skins\Fluid\Stylesheets folder, the background property has been set to :

background: transparent url( 'path/var(--LogoImage)' ) no-repeat center center;

which feels wrong, although I'm unsure how variables are ...

To help anyone in future, if you are using branding stylesheets with brand logos then you should tick the "Resolve CSS variables (recommended)" checkbox in the target's Advanced tab.

I'll describe what happens in the output for ticked and unticked scenarios.

I'm not sure if it will work for PDF but you could try setting overflow: auto; or overflow: hidden in the div style, if you haven't already.

Not exactly the same problem, but I recently was getting a lot of exception errors doing all sorts of things. Doing a Repair on the Flare installation fixed most of the errors for me. Could be worth trying on one PC to see if it helps.

I don't know what it does and I've seen values of 4, 7, 9 etc. I've never changed it myself, and I would just leave it alone, personally. Try to make as many changes using the stylesheet editor in Flare and I'm sure it will update if it needs to. Especially for table stylesheets, I find it safest ...

Psider

Check the medium buttons at the top of the skin window. Perhaps you made the change to the wrong medium.

Psider

I would say you have a p tag in the table cell and the style assigned to the p tag has a dotted right border defined.

Interestingly the search in Side Nav seems to find strings with non-alphanumeric characters ($, #, &). I'm unsure why side nav and tripane would use different searches, but there you go.

You can link to a bookmark. You select the topic, then in the dialog box there's a little icon that lets you select the bookmark you want to link to. You have to manually add the bookmark to the correct place in the destination topic first.

Also look at cross-references, which is another type of ...

Hi all,

We have some text strings our users search on that contain symbols like $. However searching for these strings in HTML5 output doesn't return any results. Do you know if there's any way to get the search working for these symbols? We are using MadCap Search and have "Exclude non-words from ...

In a quick test, it seemed like the message appeared simply after choosing a specific microcontent file in the target. See if it goes away after selecting "All micro content files" in the Search tab of the target.

Psider

If you want to display your own text, rather than the topic title, yes. If you're happy with the topic title then you can leave it as is.
