I, too, have ongoing struggles with table column widths. In your case, are they actually two different tables? I ask because, in the screen shot, it appears they're connected. I know that in my own experience, if I add a table right after another, Flare sometimes combines them into a single table. I ...

It sounds like you may want to take a look at Snippet Conditions. Once I got the hang of them, I started using them extensively. They're extraordinarily useful.

I hope that helps,

Did you ever resolve this issue? Or does anyone know if it's fixed in 2019r2? I'm using 2019 (not r2) and I'm running into a similar problem with TFS.

Personally, I would find it annoying to have every field as a dropdown, but I do feel the same as you that the page can become extra long otherwise. I tend to put all of the field descriptions in a single dropdown. My current project contains a lot of reports that display in a grid. Each field is a ...

When you click the Send for Review button, Flare should open the Send Files For Review Wizard . The Wizard displays a list of your topics so you can select files using the typical methods (click, ctrl+click, and shift+click). Also, there's an Add Files button (green plus-sign].

I hope that helps ...

Have you tried looking in the Skin Editor?

As usual, this provides some control but to really take full control, you'll probably need to add custom CSS to your stylesheet. I do this a lot by using the "Inspect" tools in my browser to get the ...

Thanks for sharing the root cause and the solution/work-around.

When you inspect the page at the smaller size, can you find the text? For example, is it shifted off to the side or hidden under a graphic? If you select the text in the HTML (text editor) it should highlight on the rendered page. You should also see the CSS being applied to it in the CSS panel ...

Nah. I was hoping for a quick and easy way to see it all on a printed page, particularly conditional text. I use "NO-Build" and "Writer's Note" conditions to add notes to the documentation and various components, like snippets. Both conditions are excluded from outputs ("Writers Note" is included in ...

Thanks ChoccieMuffin. That works great for printing the markup text but I'm looking for a way to print the page as rendered in the editor, which shows the fonts, layout, graphics and so on.

Is this for online only, or do you have a print output as well?

I've had some good success for HTML5 output using the CSS white-space property, with a value of pre . I set up a span style as follows:
span.no-wrap
{
white-space: pre;
}
Then to implement it, simply span the text you don't want ...

Hi all,

Does anyone know how to print the "raw," uncompiled/unbuilt content from the XML editor? I tried clicking the tab in the XML Editor and then selecting File>Print from the menu, but I got some odd output. The printer spit out a bulleted "All Files" line and what looked like a text box ...

It sounds like you're using HTML5 Tripane output, which has default colors to highlight search results. In the HTML5 Tripane output, you can set this value in the skin editor, with the Search Highlight style under the Search Results section.

HTML5 top-nav and side-nav are different. Result terms ...

Also, I forgot to mention that you can add a Menu Skin to the project, if you want, and then assign that skin to your menu proxy. That gives you extra options to style it the way you like.

Cheers,

I know this is counter-intuitive, but try inserting a Menu Proxy instead of a mini-TOC. When you configure the menu proxy, it will give you the option of building it from a TOC, browse sequence, or headings . Use the headings option and it should do what you're looking for.

I hope that helps,

Yes, you would add that to the style where you want that behavior. However, if you have several h1 styles (e.g. h1.toc, h1.topic, h1.ref) but you want that behavior for all of them, then add it to the base h1 element style and it wil "cascade" to the others.

CAVEAT : I use fixed values to place the search bar on my home page, so I haven't tried this myself. My suggestions here are based solely on other centering experiences. Also, I am not a CSS expert; I just know enoough to be dangerous.

I have a separate stylesheet for the home page and for topics ...

Thanks for sharing!

Awesome! Can you share what you did with the forum, in case someone else encounters the same issue down the road and comes here looking for a solution? I'd bet good money many folks aren't familiar with a web.config file or what it does or how it could solve the problem.

... the Insert Cross Reference dialog is still an option for viewing and editing xref styles. And, yes, if desired, you can edit/modify the default style from there (for the current project)...
And if you do that, then any formatting there is entered in the topic as inline styling. The alternative ...

Also, sorry, I just re-read the original post and saw the part about not using the style sheet editor. That said, the Insert Cross Reference dialog is still an option for viewing and editing xref styles. And, yes, if desired, you can edit/modify the default style from there (for the current project ...

.
I'm pretty sure the default xrefs are styled in the CSS stylesheet, if you want to edit them there.

But you can also insert a cross reference, or right-click an existing xref and select Edit ...

LOL. Touché. Sorry, about that Dave.

Thanks for your help. I have to dive deep into the nested divs that Flare builds into the compiled file to find it, but the GA code is there.

Thanks for the quick reply, Mike. In the Text Editor, do you replace the empty p tag with the script tag, or do you wrap the script tag inside the p tag?
