Space after the breadcrumbs-prefix disappears in translation

Hi,
I am working in the Dutch language and have the breadcrump "You are here: " translated to: "U bent hier: " (the standard translation in 'nl.fllng). But in the compiled HTM-target, there is no spacing between the prefix and the navigation. The space is not in the translation-file but adding a ...

Re: One of the versions of the same help is corrupt

Thank you forefear and Kevin,
In one of the copies the use of the 'Build > Clean Project utility' worked. It also restored the 'see also'. Tonight (Dutch local time, CET) I will try out the check-disk. I hope I can restore another (older) copy of the project.
Sorry for the word 'Blurred' (my English ...

One of the versions of the same help is corrupt

Hi,
I have a helpfile with a lot of conditional text. It's a helpfile for software and I compile (based on conditional topics/text) it in several versions. There is a version for the full application, a Lite-version and a Basic-version.
So I have different skins and different targets (using their ...

Re: Whose help is this anyway?

Hi,
On Tue Nov 28, 2006 10:32 am, 'mikejp' started this topic. And now (december 2008), there is a new version of the DotNet Viewer (4.1). And clearly the marketing of MadCap refuses absolutely to take the customers serious.
There are three serious points:

Re: Storing images in a (un?)organized way

Kevin,
Bit by bit I'm getting the point.
My problem is that I am working on a network and import images directly from a different networkfolder than the Flare-contentfolders. So when I put an image in a topic, I'm getting it from 'outside'. That's where Flare has to copy the external file into the ...

Re: Storing images in a (un?)organized way

Kevin,
Thank you for the (backdoor) solution. Multiple select works fine. But it would be more efficient for new images to have them directly in the right folder.

Storing images in a (un?)organized way

Hi,
When I have a screencapture or image for my Flare (3.1) project, I import it in the topic. I select the place where it is stored and it's been copied to one standard folder in the project: \\recources\images. The path can't be edited for an individual image.
But my project containes more than ...

Re: Image doesn't show in the HTML-build

Hi Kevin,
Your suggestion gave me in the end a working workaround.....
First your story of relative hyperlinks works only with inserting hyperlinks. You can select a topic or file with 'Inserting | hyperlink', and than make the path relative. But don't try to do the same in version 3.1 for images ...

Re: Image doesn't show in the HTML-build

Marie-Claire,

The image itself isn't the point. Placed as a separate image in a topic it shows in the .chm.

When I look at the code (scource) in the .chm I get this:

.... <script src="../SkinSupport/MadCapHighlighter.js"> <![CDATA[ ]]></script>
</head>
<body>
<div style="width: 100%;position ...

Marie-Claire,
The Snippet is in the default recources-folder. I use different folders for the topics, but even in the folder where the one correct topic is stored, the other topics lack the image. When I add text to the same snippet, the text is shown correctly in the build.
I also inserted the ...

Hi,
I'm using a snippet as a kind of header in my topics. The snippet contains an image (.jpg). It shows in the preview, it works in DotNet-help but it doesn't show in the HTML-build. At least not in almost all topics. There is nevertheless (at least) one topic where it shows. But I can't figure out ...

Is there a way to put the time and date of the build in a topic and keep it automatically updated every build?

Re: Related topic does not work with conditional text

To be a bit more specific: in my helpfile I used the concept link and the 'See also' buttons in the topics.
But I reported it as a bug. Sorry I have no time to test it in a test-project. I just work with my (RH-imported) project(s). And that's where I discovered it.

How can I change the background color of a text popup?
I tried the default stylesheet: Popup | PopupBody (bachgroundcolor). But that doesn't work.

I have imported a RoboHelp HTML-helpfile with a long (about 9 years) history. It has in its early days been converted from Robo-WinHelp to Robo HTML-help and consists now of about 1200 topics. Most of the adjustments over the past years have been made inline and we never cared about stylesheets ...
