So there is definitely no link in the file you are currently in to the 'imssystprogoptionsprint.htm' file? Linked to: should mean there is a link in the current file that is pointing to a missing file. (But it's late on a Friday, so maybe I'm missing something obvious. )

As far as I know, multiple workspaces still causes problems for Flare. At least, when we started using Flare 6 we had to delete the custom workspaces normal for our release software. We don't ever change from the base workspace now. I don't remember seeing anything about it being fixed, but I may ...

Probably she meant the HTML element tree that you can display on the left of the XML Editor. They may be turned off for you. There should be a button at the bottom of the XML Editor with a tooltip "Toggle show blocks". Then you'd right-click on the p tag for the paragraph you want to apply your p ...

It sounds like a pretty good idea. You can submit a feature request from within Flare. Help > Report a Bug, then on the web page that opens, click on Feature Request on the right.

Just wondering if this change (to match Dave Lee's example) would fix it?

iRet = (int) ShellExecute(NULL, "open", "file:///C:/DevProjects/NL11-NEWHELP/Default_csh.htm#cshid=IDH_AUTO_OBJ_DETECT", NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL);

I don't think you can do what you want with an xref. The only places you can Link to is a Topic in Project, or a Place in this Document (in Flare 9).

The commands just control how your Link to selection displays. So picking {url} indicates you want to show the URL for the selected topic.

You could ...

You could try just copying the file from one project into the appropriate location in the other, using Windows Explorer. This copies only the file, leaving any images or linked files behind, as it's not using Flare's smarts.

It should just show up in the Flare project (possibly use the Refresh ...

I don't have any advice regarding the numbering you want, just some general advice on workflow (which you may be doing already, but it doesn't hurt to state explicitly).

When working with Page Layouts and Master Pages, I recommend picking one thing to work on. Once that one thing is working (or you ...

What about creating a class for the MadCap|DropDownBody? If you show the tag bar on the left, you can right-click on the tag and apply different classes to the body content as required. Admittedly you have to apply 2 different classes, rather than having it happen automatically, but this might be a ...

I'm not an equation editor expert (actually I just installed it in the last couple of weeks to have a look), but I'm not sure why the tables are needed?

If you put each equation snippet in its own paragraph, you can assign a class to set the indent as you want. Also, you can insert text into ...

Wow! What a memory.

While it's theoretically possible to link to a CHM from a webpage, there are so many security restrictions on CHM files these days that they're pretty much unusable on the web or even internal servers.

Here's a page with some discussion on the problems:

<rhetorical answer> I recommend google rather than the built in forum search. Half the time all my words are too common and the forums refuse to search for them.

Hmm, just had a look at this, and it is a bit weird.

Drop-Down Text is what you select when you want to create your drop-down. By default, the first paragraph becomes your drop-down hotspot and subsequent paragraphs become your drop-down content. Or you can select some text in the Drop-Down Head ...

Mishou6779, I just ran into this problem. Try running the report again after you get the No Data message. It refreshed almost immediately for me on the second generate.

(I've previously tried deleting the Analyzer, Output and Source Control folders, but hadn't tried doing 2 generates in a row ...

Option 1 to press Enter inserted a paragraph in a random place in the topic.
Option 2 worked.

Thanks!

For Option 1, mostly when you see the horizontal line, a new paragraph of some sort will be entered where the cursor is. However, sometimes Flare does get a little confused, especially with ...

I'm not sure if it would work in Flare projects, but you could give this a go:

Have you tried modifying the Skin? I haven't tried it myself, so it's possible Webhelp Mobile does it somewhere else.

In Flare click the Help menu, then Report a Bug. (I'm using the Ribbon, but I assume the Menu layout would be similar in this case.)

I think you can find a sample in your Documents folder.

For Win7 something like: Libraries/Documents/My Documents/My Projects/Samples

There should be a HTML Help File entry, which is what you want to use to link to chms. It lets you select the chm and easily navigate to the topic you need within the chm. However it also requires you to copy the chm you are linking to into the project.

I tend to enter my links to merged chms ...

If you don't have unique left and right pages, then I don't think you should have them in the page layout. Instead just define a Normal page and delete the left and right definitions - you might like to do this in a copy of your project, to make sure you don't accidentally lose something important ...

It doesn't look to be possible - logically I think it belongs with SearchBox in the skin styles. Also applies to the IndexSearchBox, possibly to SearchUnfilteredLabel, but doesn't seem to be a limitation for QuickSearch on the topic toolbar.

I'd raise either an enhancement or bug, depending on how ...

I'll assume you haven't created the import file in your other projects yet. This is the quick version. There is a fair bit of automation and customisation you can do (condition codes, file types to include/exclude, etc). Hopefully with this start the topics in the Flare help will make more sense ...

This might not be any help, but I created a javascript file, placed it in a Resources/Scripts folder, set the Master Page on the target and added this to the master page:
<script src="../Scripts/Myfoo.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Building Webhelp didn't result in any outside link errors and ...
