Hi,

I am experimenting to create a page layout that contains images which should be conditioned for several targets, but that seems not possible.
In doing so, I noticed there can be selected files in the content view, right-clicked and opened a properties dialog.
In this properties dialog the ...

Hi,

Maybe this can help:
In the TOC, select the first topic (not the frontpage) and open its properties and set the page layout and select that layout created for topic pages.

Hi,

I have done some tests using a clean new project. The generated files with and without the stylesheet declaration give the same results. Validation with W3C gives no errors.
This indicated that this is default behavior, which is indeed strange.

A solution for this is, to put the OL inside a ...

hi,

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

Hi,

(using Flare 9, 10 and/or 11):

I am trying to create a list item using a custom image as bullet (a *.png). This might also be a div instead or even another tag, if it works.

Using the style options as in:
http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_background-size.asp
where it works perfect, I ...

Hi,

keeping you posted:

MadCap Flare is looking into it and testprojects are being exchanged to be reviewed.

Hi,

Put your table inside a <div> tag
Create a style in the stylesheet div.nopagebreak

div.NoPageBreak
{
page-break-inside: avoid;
}

Apply this on the div in the topic.

Hi,

Not sure if this also holds for Word output, because for Word there is an option to match heading levels with Word styles.
What I have working for PDF is:
- Use the option to generate TOC based on TOC depth for heading levels
- define the heading levels for h1, h2, h3. If created a class ...

Hi,

Thanks four your reply.

I think you are right that the preview uses what is defined in target and TOC. Inside the topics in the TOC I have only defined a pagelayout for topics at the root level, so heading level 1, for the Chapters. All topics inside a chapter have nothing defined, meaning if ...

Hi,

To clarify some screenshots:

THE used pagelayout.png

When the page layout selection list is opened no pagelayout is checked:

The not shown as selected pagelayout that is currently used.PNG

When selected a pagelayout:

The same topic with pagelayouts selected.png

And the preview ...

Hi,

Already tried that but it did not work.
(in Flare 9): When set the color of the left border of the body used to for example green, and switched to a preview window, there is no pagelayout selected and everything seen uses the used stylesheet.
- When selected the pagelayout used in the ...

Hi,

(Using MadCap Flare 9 and comparing against version 10 and 11)
Target = PDF

Using the preview window quite a lot, I have noticed that the pagelayout used the Preview Window is different than the pagelayout defined for the target. I am using a pagelayout with 4 subpagelayouts defined and have ...

Hi,

It is possible to use condition tags for every character if you want to.
However,
- It becomes very difficult to edit older text unless you can remember exactly why you used one or more condition tags. You will end up spending a lot of time just to edit one word that could have been edited in ...

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

The mc-auto-number-position is set to "outside-head".

The used pagelayout has a body that is set to 200px to the right of the left-border.
The heading levels start at the left-side of this body.
The mc-auto-number-offset is set to 70px and the mc-auto-number-position is ...

Hi,

What attribute or property in the stylesheet must be used to right-align the autonumbering for the heading levels?
The distance between the chapter numbers and the title must be the same for all heading levels used (h1,h2,h3)

Hi,

You are right and that is exactly the reason why the PRE-tag is used.

The PRE-tag in Flare 10 and Flare 11 causes the XML to break when the lines in the xml are spanning multiple lines in the documentation (pdf), not only for white-spaces but also for each other character not within [A..Z,a..z ...

Hi,

Did some tests in MadCap Flare 11 and indeed the bug is still present.

Found Workaround: it is possible to replace each white-space by a non-breaking space and each hyphen by a non-breaking hyphen using the Insert Character... menu.
This will generate the correct output in PDF.
- But this is ...

Hi,

Thanks for your information.

However ... I discovered that I have fallen into my own trap.

In the stylesheets generated by Flare9 and Flare10 (not sure for Flare11 since not yet installed) there is no tag for figure and figcaption. So it becomes very logic that these cannot be selected in the ...

Hi,

FYI: I wish I could give you an update saying that this issue is fixed,
but..

http://kb.madcapsoftware.com/Content/Flare/General/GEN1047F_-_Flare_V11_Release_Notes.htm

does not list the ID for this entered bug
so I am afraid in version 11 text inside pre tags will still go wrong.

Greetings ...

Hi,

(Using Flare 10.2.2. writing PDF output)
In HTML5 the tags <figure> and <figcaption> are available.
In the stylesteet there are classes defined to style these tags.

example usage:

<figure>
<img src="../Images/img_10.png" />
<figure>Fig 10: some figure text.</figure>
</figure>

It is even ...

Hi,

I use the next styles in the used style sheet:

h1.appendix
{
margin-bottom: 17mm;
margin-top: 17mm;
font-family: Roboto;
font-size: 30pt;
color: #e37222;
mc-auto-number-offset: 40mm;
mc-auto-number-format: 'GM:Appendix {A+}
';
}

h1
{
font-family: Roboto;
font-size: 30pt;

Hi,

(Using Flare 10 for pdf output): I have project in which there are several targets and several TOC's, a specific TOC is used by some targets and some other TOC's used by another target. And I have a reservoir of topics and snippets.
When adding a new target I usually: - create a new target ...

Hi,

You are right! After adjusting and applying this style, just selecting the text items and applying the bulleted list style from the menu is all that is needed to have the items listed as intended.

I was very close to the same solution, but somehow got the order mixed up and all my attempts did ...

Hi,

@ Mike Kelley: Is there also a nice CSS solution when using a tablestylesheet?

I have a table that uses a table stylesheet. In this table I have 3 columns (among others) that all have cells filled with a bulleted list with a customized icon ("-"). I want to give the text of these <li> icons a ...
