Hi all,

I was able to solve my problem. Given below is the solution -

Note: Please make sure you are in the Print medium of the stylesheet.

In the h1 style in your stylesheet, you will need to add "CH:" to the auto-number code. The code should look like this: " CH:{chapnum} "

In the h2 style in ...

Thanks Leon.

I set the mc-heading-level property to 0 for the headings I did not want in the TOC but they still appear. So perhaps that is not the place to set it. Would be great if you have any more ideas on this.

My topics are all in chapters; no idea why the numbering is not happening.

Would ...

Hi,

This is the first time I am generating a Word target. I am facing the following problems -

1) In the TOC, I want only h1 to h4. But h5 and h6 are also being displayed.

2) All h1s show the number 1, h2s show 0.1 and h3s show 0.0.1. 'mc-heading-level' in the css is correctly set for these ...

Hi,

I have been using Flare 7.2 and SVN and all along there has been no problem. However, since yesterday SVN is giving problems. I am getting all the following messages at various points in time -

1) Nullable object must have a value
2) Object reference not set to an instance of an object
3) File ...

I've been working closely with Madcap Support regarding this issue. It has now been logged as a bug. I hope that it will be fixed in a future release.
Thanks to all who tried to help.

Best regards,

Yes , We get the error when trying to run the App from Visual Studio . The error doesn’t appear when trying to open the CHM file independently.
Interestingly, the error occurs only with the CHM file generated via Flare. The CHM file generated with HTML Workshop doesn’t cause any error.
Also note ...

Yes, but for context sensitive help, they would call the .html file.

Below are details of an issue that I am facing when the CHM file generated by Flare is used .

1. Press F1 from the Application . This opens up the Help File (CHM) . Read only the current page and close the CHM file .
All works fine
2. Press F1 from the Application . This opens up the Help File (CHM ...

Thanks everyone. I learnt something new today - did not know about custom file extensions during output generation.

Only thing is, that is an option during generation of Webhelp; and I am looking at CHM file generation. Looks like it will have to be manually done..?

Hi,

Not sure if this will help. But I had a similar issue. Do look at http://forums.madcapsoftware.com/viewto ... sol#p78288

Hi,

Will there be any problem if I rename .htm files to .html? My developer has called .html files in the application; changing to .htm will mean changes in several files. It may be easier for me to make the change at Flare's end. One problem I will have is that the TOC will need to be redone. But ...

Hi,

I noticed some older posts that said the skin for HTML help output cannot be changed. I am using Flare 7.2 and wonder if it is possible to do so now. I tried and couldn't change the skin (added Flare's factory shipped Blue skin and Green skin) but the output looks the same..no change. So I ...

Thank you for your replies. Yes, I too don't like the breadcrumbs below the heading...but that's what the customer wants..

Guess I shall add the breadcrumbs in each topic manually. Unless I can convince the customer to let it remain on top where it is meant to be.

Thanks once again.

Help! I am pretty sure this one has been asked before since I remember reading about this a long time back. But though, I searched high and low through the forums I cannot find the relevant post. Apologies therefore, for posting this question once again.

I want the breadcrumbs to appear below the ...

Hi,

I have a main topic with several hyperlinks to different topics in it. After the Webhelp is generated, when I select the main topic in the navigation pane and then mouse over the hyperlinks in the content area, the links move.

Any idea why that happens? What should I do to stop the links from ...

Hi,

I imported a Flare project from an SVN location. This project was developed by my colleague in another country. The import went through successfully.

Thereafter, whenever I open the imported project, I do not get the dialog box that asks whether I need to update the files from SVN. In fact, no ...

Hi,

When I change the screen resolution to 1024*768, the heading for the help topic that is displayed in a popup window partially disappears. This is happening across all browsers and all operating systems. I have a breadcrumbs path on top. Any ideas on how to resolve this? It works fine when the ...

Thanks Dave and Leon...but :(

Created the browse sequence and linked to the TOC. Apart from the synchronisation problem, another issue is that the Browse sequence accordion item is now last in the list..should have been first. But while I can live with that, the L5 onwards topics still do not show ...

Hi,

This is another breadcrumbs questions. Apologies if this has been asked before - but despite searching within the forum I could not find anything about this.

My problem is -

All my topics are linked to the TOC. This therefore goes up to almost 6 levels. Now in the TOC I am able to restrict ...

Hi,

Is it possible to change the appearance of the horizontal and vertical scroll bars in the topic pane, navigation pane and popups? I couldnt find it anywhere.. I want the scroll bars to be a little thinner and sleeker looking. How do I go about this? Any ideas would be appreciated.

Right....that's what I thought

Well, I'll put in an enhancement request anyway.

Thanks a lot for the help.

Any idea how I can go about achieving the 3rd point in my post as shown above?

Gosh... missed that completely...thanks Dave.

Thanks DocuWil, Lisa and Dave. I have submitted a feature request for changing the colour of the active topic in the TOC pane.

Any idea if the colour of the active accordion item can be changed?

Regards.

Thanks DocuWil for trying to help. But none of those options help in changing the colour of the active topic...
