I followed what Josh said he did. That is, just setting "Continue Sequence" on the list in the snippet.

The "value=3" is only added on compile (I also double-checked the source code, to be sure).

One other thought. Does it work if you compile as webhelp? Perhaps it's a bug in HTML5 output.

@i-tietz I don't think the ul list should have the value defined. It doesn't make sense to me to count bullets as numbers. If there's no prior OL, then it should just start at 1.

@LTinker68, my test topics show the incorrect numbering (starting at 3 instead of 1) in webhelp output. The code is the ...

Can you confirm that the headermanagement.js file is in the same folder as your Master Page?

If not, assuming that headermanagement.js is in your Resources/Scripts folder, I believe the path in your source should be src="../Scripts/headermanagement.js" .

HTH,

I think I'd class it as a bug. I wouldn't expect an OL to continue numbering from a UL, myself.

You need to customise the mini-toc styles:
* Madcap|miniTocProxy under Show Reusable Content Styles (the black line at the top, margin, padding, etc)
* p.MiniTOC1, MiniTOC2, etc under Show Generated Content Styles (the text look and feel)

Also, don't forget to customise the Mediums you want it to ...

I've been recently playing with this stuff myself, and one trick I found really useful when getting strange layouts was to remove all "breaks" configured in the TOC and start again - the number of times I'd set Page Layout Break instead of Chapter Break or vice versa, or had changed the page type ...

If it's just the bars like the front matter (TOC, etc) then you could probably do this with page layouts. However, if you want the bars like in the chapters, then I'm not sure - perhaps a table to control the layout in each page.

I think that's defined in the Skin in the About tab. You can untick the setting to remove, or replace the image with one of your own.

No problems. I always try to check inconsequential symbols, remembering the hours my dad spent debugging games typed out of the old Apple magazines - days spent trying to find misplaced commas. :p

I think the code is missing a /

I don't know that will fix the error, but worth a try.

If you tag your content with condition tags but don't set any conditions on the target, the condition tags remain in the output. Possibly this could be used to conditionally hide information based on calls from the application, although this would require work by your developers. Something to ...

I've encountered slowness and black UI when doing a lot of edits on several topics (source controlled with Team Foundation Server). I suspect a memory leak of some sort, but haven't been able to reliably reproduce. Closing and re-opening Flare normally fixes the issues for me.

I also seem to ...

You can also do this with the arrow keys, paying attention to the shape and spacing of the cursor icon - although it's much easier when displaying the tag bar.

Basically make sure the cursor is at the end of the div, then press the down arrow key until it is a broad horizontal cursor with a larger ...

Not sure it helps anyone, but the float: alignleft or aligncenter code in a table seems to be related to tables that are in a div tag. Not sure how the tables got to be in a div to start with - it could be some weirdness resulting from importing a Robohelp project or could have been a previous ...

Okay blatted everything and started again.

Changing everything to Chapter Breaks I can at least get the PDF to generate. But it doesn't really do what I'm looking for.

PageLayout 2-column, Normal
Page Layout 1-column, Normal

Scenario 1
------------
Title&Contents Topic - Chapter Break 2-column ...

Thanks, I didn't know you could set a page layout to 2 column.

Unfortunately I'm getting Object reference not set to an instance of an object errors.

It looks like I need to use Page Layout Break as I don't want to create new chapters/page breaks.

I select the first topic, set to Page Layout ...

Hi all,

Is there a way to create a 2-column TOC when generating to PDF output?

You can set the TOC to 2-columns in Word by selecting the TOC and choosing 2 columns in the Page Layout ribbon.

I've tried setting mc-column-count on the TocProxy to 2, but that doesn't seem to be honoured in the ...

Thanks Margaret. Just wanted to double-check.

Hi all,

I've inherited a project and have a weird file in it. In a folder called "History" there is a file called "History (folder properties)". No file extension and it won't open in Flare. Opening in a text editor reveals the content as "<fileProperties conditions="" />".

Any idea how this file ...

Hi guys,

I've been looking at the Auto-suggestion feature in Flare and am trying to figure out the best use for it. Reading through the help I have a few questions.

1) Does auto-suggest automatically find frequently used phrases, or is it limited to a specifically compiled custom list, plus ...

I submitted a bug report and have had a reply back about a workaround. A quick check indicates it works okay, however, as usual, our setup is unusual, so I think we're going to have to do a double-compile for our parent project. :S

Anyway, here are the details of the workaround:
Create a txt file ...

I'll be interested to see how you go. My testing with creating a brand new, small test set of projects and upgrading wasn't promising, but I didn't try creating fresh projects in 8.1.1
Amber

I've hit the same problem. In a set of merged chm files, with the parent compiled in 8.1 or 8.1.1, only the parent and first child display search results.

Unfortunately all our help calls go through the parent chm, so opening the child chms first is not an option for us. We will be downgrading ...

I've always found it too confusing using the Include checkbox and only ever use Exclude. Include means "include me even if some other tag would normally cause me to be excluded"

So for the regular document try: MultiLanguage - Exclude; non-MultiLanguage - nothing ticked; PrintOnly -nothing ticked ...
