MadCap Software Forums

This may still not be what you need, but today I have been doing Glossaries, and I now know what the hyperlink related properties are for glossaries links in topics. The implementation for reltablelinks may be similar . . .

The glossary links are MadCap|glossaryTerm.Expanding, MadCap|glossaryTerm ...

My reply is as Dave says.

I've done that for one of my Web skins. I located the default Flare icons, edited them as required and copied them to my project under Content/Resources/Images. Then just create a skin and specify those icons (if you don't specify anything, you will get the defaults). Now ...

Here's mine. RelatedInfo and RelatedConcepts are what I called my columns in the relationship table. The default names of Tasks, Reference etc didn't really work for the navigation links I wanted (although of course, they work very well as topic types). Shout if you need me to explain anything and I ...

Welcome to the forums!

Is it possible that your page layout already has a template title page in situ so that the title page comes directly from the page layout, and you don't need to add a specific title topic?

Hi there,

Just coming to grips with the glossary and setting some styles for the various items in the print output.

In my old Word document, I used to use a level 1 heading for "Glossary" and a level 2 heading for each letter. This meant that the Glossary heading and each glossary letter appeared ...

Hi there. You look like you are in the UK. Where abouts, if you don't mind me asking (PM me if you don't want to announce to the world and his wife)? I'm in Hampshire, and looking for a few other folks who might like to start a Flare User group reasonably locally.

In your web skin, have you set Automatically Synchronize TOC (on the General tab)?

Try going to C:\Users\<your-username>\AppData\Roaming\MadCap Software and deleting everything there (or take a copy of it all first if you would rather).

Also do a Disk Cleanup and get rid of all your temporary files.

And, I take it you've not run out of disk space or anything like that?

All ...

I thought I replied to this one, but perhaps I dreamed it. So forgive me if this is a repeat . . .

200kb seems very low for an upload limit. Could it be a timeout? Perhaps Flare accessing SharePoint is far slower than a direct access to SharePoint, so perhaps SharePoint times out before the upload ...

I'm on Windows 7, 64 bit OS, Flare 8.2.

I have had all sorts of problems with projects hanging when connected to Perforce (our source control system). Then I have to kill the Flare process, and then I can't open that project again at all.

MadCap support told me to delete the following files in my ...

I usually have Flare open all day. I occasionally get unexpected compiler errors for no reason, but I'd say probably no more than once a week or so. Closing and reopening Flare clears them.

I believe there are some known memory leak issues with Flare 8 and MadCap support advised to close/reopen if ...

I've now had the official response from MadCap. It is:

The path for the created review package has changed since the project has been moved. You can update the path of the *.fltrev file by following the steps below:

1. Change the file extension of the [your_filename].fltrev file to [your_filename ...

Any luck?

I assume that you have different heading levels, and you want each heading level to be indented from the one immediately above it?

You need to set the mc-heading-level attribute for each of your heading styles. For example, my heading 1 style has "mc-heading-level: 1;" and my level 2 heading style ...

Well, since someone has just told me that Flare review packages are really zip files, :D this is what I would do.

I would get both the original review package (you did keep a copy of it, didn't you?) and the returned one, unzip both, then do a file/folder compare. You may spot something that is ...

Oh hello Kai!

I tried coming at it from the other side, and creating an identical review package in the new location, then importing the old one back in. No joy. So I came to the conclusion that the link was on both sides, with the project "knowing" that the review package had been created and the ...

Aha! The issue specifically relates to &nsbp; not just a "non-breaking space". Read the first post properly, girl!

is a non-breaking space, and that's how Flare codes it if you insert one deliberately, or do something that causes Flare to insert one for you. This is always recognised by both XML ...

Under some circumstances Flare puts in a non-breaking space rather than leave something empty. I've noticed this on several occasions, for example, when you create a new paragraph by pressing Enter, or when you first create a table and the cells are empty. In each case, once you start typing there ...

I have just got this error too, and I've raised a support case. I'll keep you posted on the reply. I think you're right about it being a multiple author issue in your case.

In my case, it happened when I moved my entire Flare project structure elsewhere because our developers needed the Flare ...

I don't suppose you've added the TOC proxy twice in your contents topic?

Alternatively, could your contents topic be using a special "Contents" page layout that already has a TOC proxy inserted in the layout for you?

If not, try removing everything else from the print TOC except your contents ...

Just to confirm a few things about what you say above -

You expected the text to be styled, but it isn't. You expected the tables to be styled, and they are. Is that what you are saying? OK - stylesheets are a suspect . . . Do you use separate stylesheets for tables, or are the table styles in your ...

Thanks for the info. I'm intrigued now!

A few more things to check (you may well have done some or all of these already).

I think the message is just a warning - it seems to be saying that the output has been generated, but that it may not look like you expected, because the specified startup ...

I have learned something too! Thanks Thomas.

Another possibility that comes to mind is to use snippets. You could make each bit of content a snippet, then give the developers many topics each containing one snippet, and have a single topic containing all the snippets for your help output. This ...

Not so far as I know, I'm afraid, although it would be good. Just cut and paste. :-(

I'm interested to know why you want to merge "dozens" of topic files into a single topic. You may of course have a very good reason for this, but I'm wondering if it's either
because you got lots of very small ...

I've just found this thread (I'm a bit behind the times, I know).

Like Owenf, I'm also trying to create a snippet from several adjacent rows in a table, which are repeated in many tables. I can then place the snippet in other tables as a group of rows where necessary, and update in one place as ...
