Re: Figure Caption -- Keep With Next

You don't need to manually edit the XML, as in type the code character by character, if that is what you mean. You can do it through Flare's normal editor: select the caption and the figure, then click the Group button in the toolbar/ribbon (I haven't got access to Flare at the moment, I can't ...

Re: Figure Caption -- Keep With Next

Steve, I think you could also put the image and caption in a div and set it to avoid page breaks inside the div, I think that is an available option.

Re: Floating labels inside images

Edits in Capture are non-destructive, including adding bubbles. The "edits" are stored in an props file (XML) that sits with the image file (Capture creates the props file). This means that you can make unlimited changes to an image without affecting the image quality, and more importantly, without ...

Re: Toggle: Is expand all an automatic display option?

Hi. I am not sure if there is such an option (I'm not in Flare at the moment). Although it sounds like a viable option, I think it might be going a little bit against the purpose of togglers. If your users use the search box to search for content that is inside a toggler, the toggler will open ...

Re: Crazy question - "Build Primary" vs "Publish Primary"

You can use Build for testing. You might not want to Publish to a webserver every time that you just wanted to test the output. It isn't redundant.

Re: Index problem - same spelled keywords listed separately

There really should be a switch to instruct Flare to ignore case

Maybe, but my guess is that the rules around that would get complicated: ignore case in favour of upper or lower? ... if switching to lower, apply to all words? ... if applying to all words, what about parts of the keyword that ...

Re: Index problem - same spelled keywords listed separately

Hi Shawn

Concerning the Index keywords panel, Flare help says: "Please note that the fields in this dialog are case-sensitive; therefore, if you enter a term in all lowercase letters, that is how it will be displayed in the output."

So I think the only fix is to change the relevant keywords you ...

Hi Jenny

My guess is that the problem is somewhere inside the body. It sounds like you corrected line 6, so the problem is not there, and it sounds like you have a closing body tag, so something has gone wrong with an element inside those tags. Your line by line compare should highlight the problem ...

Re: Invalid XML

Hi, welcome to the forum!

I'm not sure how it happened, but you have a closing body tag on line 6 instead of an opening one. You need to remove the / so that it is just <body>. You should have a closing body tag </body> at the end of your content.

Yes, you can. Your Capture profiles are stored (default) in My Documents > My Profiles . In there you'll find a file for each of your profiles, with .capro file extension. You can share these files with your colleagues.

If you use palettes (a good feature), you can share these too: look ...

Are you on v10.2 or v10.2.1? Maybe that is the difference.

Hi - could you post a screenshot of what you see (the error situation)?

Using default settings, the TOC should display all the items that are at the top level of you TOC (or all the items that are aligned left-most when you view the TOC file in Flare).
