I've tested this with the project open in Flare (8) and opening a file within the project via Windows Explorer. Looks like a bug.

Is this what you're trying to do? http://forums.madcapsoftware.com/viewto ... =9&t=16337

I haven't had to do this since I started using Flare, but with previous projects I put my snippets into one or more topics which allowed me to actually display the content on a web page with the file name as the title, like a glossary. I suppose in Flare you might need to make that a separate ...

If you're using Flare 8, you can use the Zip Project feature on the Project tab for your tag copy.

whunter posted while I was typing my response, but we both use the same concept:

I generally use the practice of Branches,Tags, and Trunk with source control programs, such as SVN , but you can probably do the same where you store or backup your files. Although, my application is slightly different ...

There's another thread on the same issue here: http://forums.madcapsoftware.com/viewto ... 10&t=15077

Looks like your best option is to try the Decoration Frame again. Perhaps the instructions in the other thread will help.

I use variations of the button image:

Yeah, I was hoping to find another way to do it. Lisa's First Page option sounds promising.

If this is a one-time need, it would probably be easier to generate a PDF and send it to them.

If this is an ongoing requirement, could you use a mini-toc (which includes the entire toc) as a topic? This would allow the user to use the print linked topics option for the entire Help.

...I do want a different looking first page for each chapter: It has a chapter title, starts about 1/3 of the way down the page, and has no headers or footers, where all of the other body pages will have these elements...
I haven't done much with Print outputs, but I believe you have to use a ...

I've only been using Flare a short time and the only thing I've seen introduced is <![CDATA] ]]> when there's something the system doesn't recognize. However, I have seen other text editors introduce the non-breaking space character entity when there is a double space. Is it possible that your code ...

Yeah, I'm using Flare 8. Would it be possible for you to post your CSS file?

First question, when you set your page-break-before property, is the Medium set to print?

Sorry, I didn't take the time to check these settings and I should have.

To adjust the space between the bullet and text, use the text-indent property. If you want all your lists the same, set this property for the li style. If you want bullet lists different than numbered lists, set the property ...

I can't help you with the Glossary (sorry), but I generally put the "s" in parentheses in these situations: valve(s).

Someone had the same issue last week and it turned out they had spaces in the image name. By chance, does the image name contain spaces?

First, you have two threads on this topic. You may want to delete one of them.

Second, I believe the bullet-to-text margin is set by the list-style-position property and hanging text is set by the mc-multiline-indent property.

Also, and sorry if you already know this, make sure the Medium is set ...

Is this what you're after (I just grabbed the first image I came to)? You have to replace the FavoritesTopic.gif with your own (using the same name, of course). Also, the FavoritesSearch.gif if you want to replace the magnifying glass icon. Go to C:\Program Files\MadCap Software\MadCap Flare V8 ...

I'm curious to know how deep these developers go to customize these skins? What I mean is, do they simply alter existing skins or do they get into the scripts that generate the skins? I can see that some are obviously existing skins with custom color schemes, which has been my approach so far. But I ...

I wonder if you could use the JavaScript feature ( Skin Editor > Toolbar )? I don't know that much about JavaScript, and all the programmers here are PHP'ers so I'm not able to test this.

fwiw, I noticed the online Flare 8 Help doesn't have a tooltip for the logo ( http://webhelp.madcapsoftware ...

Ah, sorry. To change the title font which displays in the toolbar, go to Styles > ToolbarItem > AccordionTitle and change the FontFamily property. If the font is listed in the popup under Installed Fonts , it should embed the font. To change the title font of each accordion label, which display in ...

Well, I spent a good part of yesterday on this and the best result I came up with was to change the Frame > BackgroundColor property of the Frame > AccordionFavorites style to #a9a9a9 .

Just out of curiosity, can anyone tell me why editing the skin in a text editor doesn't work, i.e., why can I add ...

That's for topics with collapsed text, as illustrated here: http://webhelp.madcapsoftware.com/flare8/Default.htm

That setting is for the Accordion Label (note the red label in the attached image). What we, or at least I am trying to do is change the topic titles within the Favorites Accordion so the font is white (like the TOC topics) instead of black. Again, referring to the attached image, I've changed the ...

This is why I don't use some of these skins. I like them, but there's little control in some areas of the skin. I'd like to find the answer to this so that I can use these skins in the future.

I see where you can change the labels in the Skin Editor : Control > SearchFavoritesLabel and ...
