Hi,

Sounds pretty complex.

For what its worth: You could add 2 h1's in the topics, and use conditions to show the correct one for a specific pdf. I guess this will only work when each pdf is an own target in the project.

Another option could be to turn each topic in a snippet, and create a new ...

Hi,

Yes,

Define a new global series using for example GK:
See last option in auto-number format where H is used as a label. Using K, L M, as a label will start a new global series if formatted as GK:, GL:, GM: etc.,

Hi,

This is a workspace issue:

open a topic, click the title and make it float.
Then drop it in the correct green block you will see pop-up so it ends up in de correct pane.
Then save the workspace (as default) or with a new name (then you can switch between different workspaces)
Next topics that ...

Thank you very much!

Hi,

I thought I had seen this before, entered by someone else:

Create a "drowdownclose.js" with the next lines and store it in the resource folder (for example in a new created folder named "Scripts")

$(document).ready(function(){
$(".dropDownBody").append("<a href='javascript:void(0);' class ...

Hi,

(Flare 11, html 5 output - topnav).

Is it somehow possible to select the files that need to be published?

Currently publishing fails for about 50% of the attempts. The failure is caused by an image file (icon.png) that becomes set to read-only in a subdir of the skins dir that is not in use ...

Hi,

I never use a p style to set a page break, but select that specific p-block for that text, and in menu Paragraph, set the property pagebreak before or page break after depending on what is needed. I add a comment in the code to remind me what I did, so in case of an edit, I know to adjust that ...

Hi,

to avoid these kind of issues I use the next workflow:

1. always create new styles in medium Default.
2. When really needed another medium, overrule that tag in that medium.

In doing so you will discover that you actually do not need any other medium than default, even when generating PDF ...

Hi,

this is "off topic" but that is one of the best movies I have ever seen!

Hi,

In the target - tab PDF options, do you have "Include non-TOC bookmarks in the bookmark pane" checked?

Clear this option.

Hi,

What I would do in this case:

Create 1 new project.
For each client, create a target.
Create a condition set that contains only ExcludeFrom<Client> conditions.
Depending on how much overlap is inside the text (topics) going into the output for the clients, either create 1 TOC (most texts are ...

Hi,

Update (as promised): It has been confirmed that the resulting output in Flare 9 was the result of a bug. This bug has been fixed by MadCap Flare.
As a result of this fix the output in Flare 10, 11 and 12 now is different than in Flare 9.

The fix of this bug appears to be correct. However ...

Hi,

each menu option equals a first book level in the used TOC.
The items in a menu are the subsequent levels inside a first level book.

Hi,

In case the pasted code goes inside a <PRE> tag you are the next "victum" of the pre-tag bug. The pre tag in Flare 10,11 and 12 does not work anymore.
I have found several issues in the Forum which can be related to this bug. I have reported this bug to Flare, including 2 test-projects showing ...

Hi,

Can you try the next steps:

Do a search on your C:\Drive for "hh.dat" (it will be found either in C:\Documents and Settings\...\Application Data\Microsoft\HTML Help or C:\Users\...\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\HTML Help) (the \...\ will contain your user name)
Delete the hh.dat
Start a CMD with ...

Hi,

I can offer you the next options that might help:

In case of an uninstall or a new install of a flare version the hhctrl.ocx, itircl.dll and itss.dll will become unregistered (used for HTML help).
To solve:

Go to Start and type regsvr32 hhctrl.ocx

A message on a successful registration ...

Hi,

Searching for and working on the same. If ever a nice procedure can be figured out I am very interested.

A first attempt to generate a filter for the required/desired topics only to produce a PDF resulted in the need of some coding. And that is what has caused the attempt stopped at the moment ...

Hi,

Just to keep you posted: the bug is still not solved in Flare Version 12:

Source file:
The_Source.png

Result in Flare 9:
Result_Flare_9.png

Result in Flare 10,11 and 12:
Result_Flare_10_11_12.png

Is there anyone who can help to get this right? Upgrading to higher versions of Flare is ...

Hi,

This information is to less to figure out what is causing the problem.

I am working with a project that only generates PDF output, with multiple targets using multiple and shared TOCs.
To keep the heading numbering correct, I use the next technique (if you can call it that):

In the used ...

hi,

The mc-auto-number-format must start with "G" for global so : 'GX:{A}.{n}.{n+} ';

GX: Appendix {A+}
GX: {A}.{n+}
GX: {A}.{n}.{n+}

Hi,

No, it will not work when placed a list and a note inside this div. All parts inside the div will be moved to the next page, which is probably not what you want.

Instead I use a styled p that makes sure that the text inside the note is always kept together (same code). This way the list will ...

Hi,

All I did to get this working perfect is just one step:

In the stylesheet used, find <tr> and set "page-break-inside" to "avoid".

All the other actions you described I did not, so undo them.
Note that the table-styles, if used, will inherit this option, so there is no need to set this also ...

Hi,

I had the same issue and solved it by:

In the topic to be used as TOC for the output:
Start a new topic to be used as table of contents
Remove all default tags.
Insert a <p>-tag with text "Table of Contents" and style this P in the stylesheet
next insert a TOC-proxy (tab insert - Proxy ...

Hi,

OK, forget I asked this question. It is working as intended, but I had to restart Flare once to get it working.
So when excluded an image stored in the content view as part of a page layout this image is not used in the page layout for that target.
