MadCap Software Forums

I tried your code and it worked, i.e., all the proxies showed up. You may systematically noting out ( /*hide*/ ) each style in the CSS. I've had it happen where I had an unsupported property in the CSS and the browser would stop rendering when it got to that style.

I'm afraid I can't help you with ...

When I inspect the elements in the output (in Chrome and Firefox) it says " mc-master-page is an unknown property" and strikes it out... :|
Any style or style property with the mc prefix is going to show as an unknown property in a browser.

Edit: Following up on this, it doesn't seem to matter ...

Titus wrote:What is it about the menu that opens topics in a different master page?

I don't think that's how it works. If you use the HTML tag to set the master page as a style (instructions), it should work.

Can I add a Search Bar to my Home Page, like in TopNav, but in Tri-Pane?
Yes. You can insert a Search Bar Proxy in either the Topic or Master Page and set the properties for MadCap|searchBarProxy in the CSS . I use the Master Page for my topics so the Search Bar is available in the header of ...

Do you mean, like DITA?

I was thinking of starting a thread on this very topic. I'm currently on a project where both the Design Team and the Project Manager insist on creating a "User Experience". When they say it, I think of my childhood days at camp sitting by the fire singing songs together. All these years I've been ...

Sorry for the late response. I haven't really had any issues with this other than when the browser is resized, i.e., non-responsive. In my current top-nav project I have two variations of the Search bar, for which I have two Search Bar Skins with all the attributes for each. Is this what you're ...

Thanks Dave! Just as a follow up, we ran into a few warning issues which caused the build to fail (mostly Accessibility). On the Warnings page of the Target Editor , I turned off the warnings listed in the Targetmc.log. Now I'm investigating the warnings to be sure it's alright to have them turned ...

Just to reduce confusion... shouldn't this subject be discussed under a new topic titled "multi-channel publishing"?

This doesn't appear to be a single-sourcing subject. Correct?
My understanding of multi-channel publishing is multiple output types, e.g., ePub, WebHelp, and Mobile. What I'm ...

That's what I needed to know. Thx DG!!!

One of my project teams has Flare's Build Module which they use to generate an output themselves from source control. Now they want to have two versions of the output and are asking how to utilize the Conditional Tag feature in Flare since they have no UI? My plan was to tag the TOC entries, but the ...

Fixed - Seems SourceTree decided to corrupt my Projects folder. I happened upon some topic files with strange syntax, which led me to this conclusion. I replaced the Projects file with a backup and I'm back in business.

I haven't seen it for a while, either. However, I do (from time to time) encounter files with no formatting and use NotePad++ with the XML Tools plugin to fix it.

I've had this WebHelp project going for a couple years now and suddenly, when I build the output I get this:

WebHelpToolbarIssue.png

There's a rather lengthy explanation for the underscore, but basically this is the name I used in the skin as a workaround for another issue. I've tried changing ...

Fixed, thanks! The rest of this is useless text entered in order to comply with the mandatory 25 character limit.

My internal Analyzer options are disabled and when I launch Analyzer externally, the UI is empty. Opening a project does nothing. I must have tripped over a setting somewhere, but no idea when or where.

1. The exact workflow and tasks necessary to publish a Flare project in another language using Lingo as the file packager for the linguists.
It depends on your intended output, but the basic steps are explained in Lingo Help . However, I've found with tri-pane WebHelp that the toolbar items may ...

The only way I've been able to do it is to set the desired program as the default for the file type in Windows. For example, I like to use Nopepad++ for stylesheets, so here's how I set it up:

1. In Windows Explorer , right-click any .css file, selected Open with > Choose default program . The Open ...

My first suggestion is to rename the files without spaces and make any necessary downstream adjustments, like editing the context-sensitive Help links. It may be very time consuming, but in the long run I think you'll appreciate the effort.

My second suggestion is a bit clunky, but if you're ...

You can convert HTML to XHTML in Dreamweaver, which is valid XML. I wonder if that might work better?

Correct Steve, almost. I'm assuming this issue is with the topic files in the Content folder of the Flare project and your screen shots are from Flare's XML Editor . If you paste my script into NotePad and save it with a .vbs extension, you can run the script by double-clicking the file (no need for ...

I have a similar project in development and the plan is to have one generic Flare project linked to a separate Flare project for each product. The idea is for the Help icon in each product to be linked to its own Help.

But we're just getting started and I only have one product and one Flare project ...

Actually, when the browser in Restore mode, too. With the browser maximized it's:

ul.navigation ul > li.has-children > a::after {
position: absolute;
border: medium none;
content: "";
right: 5px;
top: 9px;
}

But thanks for pointing that out, Dave. I see that I need to add my first style to ...

You should be able to use Flare's Drop-down Text. Just be sure to insert the snippet as a block, i.e., in a blank line ( see Page 6 ). The trick to doing that is to put the cursor at the end of the preceding paragraph, table, etc. and press the right arrow key of your keyboard. This puts the cursor ...

I've run into this before, usually when importing Word files or files from translators. I have a Visual Basic Script I developed to deal with the issue:

Const ForReading = 1
Const ForWriting = 2

Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

objStartFolder = InputBox("Enter file ...
