Hi Emilie.
Are you sure this isn't in your stylesheet?

If you navigate to your .css file in the Content Explorer and, rather than double-click on it, right-click and select the Open With > Internal Text Editor option, you might find it easier.
Search the file for "Figure" and you should find it is ...

This is still happening in 2022. :(
Have just logged a support issue (#S058511), as I'm working on a very large project and it's getting REALLY annoying!
Maddening to encounter this old Find and Replace issue in micro content after all these years:
https://forums.madcapsoftware.com/viewtopic.php?f ...

Hi jconnors,
Try doing a search for the file name of the stylesheet ( Edit > Find and Replace > Find and Replace Text ).
Make sure you enable the Find in source code option and then hit Find All .
That should provide you with a list of files that are still referencing the deleted stylesheet. You can ...

Hi Wyatt,
If you select the topic in the Content Explorer and right-click, you have the option to Open With >
This gives you a choice of ways to open the topic you are currently editing in the Internal Browser or any browser you have installed, or even the Internal Text Editor.
I use this a lot ...

Thanks. Yeah, I've tried synonyms. I had them in there for a long time and it was only recently that I realized they weren't working for hyphenated words :cry:

Unfortunately synonyms don't recognise hyphens, which has been an annoyance for some time.

It won't work across the board, but if you ...

Hi Rost,
Would variables (https://help.madcapsoftware.com/flare2021r2/Content/Flare/Variables/Variables.htm) be more suitable if you are using the same phrases a lot?
Then, if you have autosuggestion enabled (https://help.madcapsoftware.com/flare2021r2/Content/Flare/Editor-Tools/Auto-Suggestion/Auto ...

Has anyone else noticed any performance issues with madcap search and microcontent?


Hi Mark,
Yes. I had varying search results as soon as I started using Microcontent in Flare 2019.

I could search for a word in the output on my local Windows machine & get the correct results.
I could search ...

Have you upgraded to Flare 2020 by any chance...?

In the latest version, they have added the Collapsing and Expanding text tags in the XML Editor "feature". (https://help.madcapsoftware.com/flare2020/Content/Flare/Introduction/Whats-New/Whats-New-Collapse-Tags.htm)
So, if you have inadvertently ...

No worries.
I use Camtasia instead, which is pretty good.

Hi ChoccieMuffin,
There are Mimic video tutorials on the madcap website:

There are also PDF guides available here:

Good luck. I gave up trying to use Mimic, as it ...

If you go to the Project Organizer and expand Glossaries , I think you will find two glossaries. Yours and the default Flare project one.

You can delete the default Flare one or keep both, but make sure yours is the only one enabled in the Glossary tab of your target.

I remember wondering where ...

Thanks Nita!
I encountered this exact same issue and was about to embark on finding a solution to it.
You've saved me a whole lot of time and effort!
I have adapted your example and it works just fine!
Many thanks for posting.

Genius. Thank you, ChoccieMuffin.
That should work just fine.

Ah. I see...
Thanks ChoccieMuffin!
At least I understand now. I couldn't find that info anywhere.
It's a pain, as I have some h2s that I do want to include and others that I don't - which isn't a problem in an online TOC.
I guess I will have to so some canny styling for the headings that I don't ...

Hi,
I've generated Word files from Flare before (which I could PDF), but haven't needed to generate PDFs directly from Flare...until now.

So, on my first experiment, I've successfully generated a large PDF, with a front cover, TOC and Index. :)
However, the TOC includes lots of subheadings that ...

You can also use the File List ( View > File List ) to show all files in the project and then sort them by the Date Modified column.

Once you've got the required date range, highlight the files in the File List tab and then right-click and choose Export Selection to CSV to create a .csv of the ...

Can anyone who is frustrated that merging is not supported in Side Nav or Top Nav please submit a feature request?

https://www.madcapsoftware.com/feedback/featurerequest.aspx

I requested this back in 2017 and nothing has happened yet.
Hopefully, the more requests, the higher it might rise up the ...

We don't need to search inside the PDF, i just need for the link to the pdf to show in the search results... right now, only the link for the topic in which the PDF links... so right now in the help, there's a topic named Configuration Guides. That topic consists of several links to various PDF ...

After scratching my head a lot, I've just discovered deep down in Flare's help that the Logo URL option is only available in HTML5 Side and Top Navigation skins.
(https://help.madcapsoftware.com/flare2019/Content/Flare/Skins/More/Specifying-Navigation-Pane-Settings-HTML5-WebHelp-Output.htm)
So if ...

Ah. OK. I see.
You need to go to the Setup tab in the Skin Editor.
There is a Logo URL: field
Enter your company URL here.
Make sure you include the http:// prefix in the URL path otherwise it won't work.
Hope that sorts it.

I haven't installed 2019 R2 yet, due to the many issues.
However, in plain old 2019, it is in the Skin, in:
Styles tab
Under Styles > Header > Logo > Background > Image you can specify the logo image.
Hope that helps in 2019 R2...

Hi,
If you are using Top Navigation or Side Navigation popups aren't supported.

From the Flare Help:

Note: This feature is supported in HTML5 Tripane skins, but not in HTML5 Top Navigation skins.

In the Skin Editor, on the General tab, there is the option Unreferenced Images > Remove on Save. You should enable that.

Hi,
Not seen this myself, but have a look at this thread:
viewtopic.php?f=9&t=29715
and see if any of these suggestions work...
Good luck!

Thanks. They weren't there yesterday!

Nope. They definitely weren't.

And judging by the number of issues people are already reporting, I think it'll be a while before I install it.

Me too, despite one of the issues I reported being fixed...
