MadCap Software Forums

I found that this also happens with bold formatting. Not sure if it is actually a bug, but I sent it in anyway.

Hi, I get the same result. Seems to be a bug?

I can get it to work with a space before the closing {/i} instead:

Hi Kathleen, welcome to the MadCap forum.

Those targets are sample targets that are provided as examples with one of the MadCap template projects (Online and Print Advanced, I think?).

Template projects are useful for a couple of reasons: they can give you a jump-start on formatting your project ...

To edit your profile, click User Control Panel (upper left) and use the Profile tab.

The Who Is Online section at the bottom of the page lists all users currently using the forum. If you click a user name, including your own, you can see the associated profile, but you can't edit it (if it is your ...

If " Note : " is simple text, you can create a span with a border and span all the text.

If " Note : " is an autonumber, you might be able to use a div with display: inline-block , but I've never used that before and don't understand it properly, but the output is as you are requesting. There may ...

Hi, I see this too.

After some tinkering, I suppose it is a bug.

It affects text both in rectangle objects and in bubbles.

It happens when the background of the object is set to transparent. (Callout 1 below.)

If the rectangle or bubble has a background colour assigned, it does not happen ...

Good topic Shawn, I think divs are very powerful. Thanks Dave and Ramon for expert info.

Thanks for the tip, Shawn, I just watched the webinar - I agree, a tremendous presentation from Mike, with some great foundation guidance on using stylesheets as well as how to set up responsive design.

The tables question is tricky. The first tip that Mike gives is to stop using tables for layout ...

Hi Shawn. Just a quick reply to your saving custom bubbles problem: after you have configured a bubble (or any object) in the work area, select the Palettes side panel (check that your MyPalette palette is visible or select it from the drop-down at the top of the panel), then drag your custom bubble ...

Hi. You could do this with Capture (free with Flare since v9 I think). Just add a text object to your default button image. The text is stored in a .props file along with the image, and can be sent to translation with your topics (the .props file is XML). So you only create and add each button image ...

Would it not be a lot easier to just use the built-in CSH test?

Yes. You could have said that earlier, Dave!

But thanks

Thanks for the link, ChoccieMuffin!

Glad we solved it, Shawn!

Thanks Lisa, I think I'll have a go at that. Complex selectors have been on my "wait, what?" list for a while.

Hi mojebabicka

I can see all images.

Do you get this effect in the final output? When I use superscript and format it with underline or as a hyperlink, the view in the editor is as you indicate, but in the final output (and also in preview), the underline is correct - same level all along and does ...

I think I found it:

http://webhelp.madcapsoftware.com/flare10/Default.htm#Footnotes/More_About_Editing_Footnotes/Editing_the_Look_of_Footnote_Numbers.htm?

Basically: create 2 span classes, one that specifies the colour of the number in the text (table) and one for the colour of the number in the ...

Hi Shawn, this might not be an elegant solution, but: Could you set the background of the footnote style to same colour as your page colour? Then your footnote number in the table would be visible, albeit not very attractively, and your footnote text at the bottom of the page would appear "normal ...

I don't think the HTML5 output can handle partial matches or wildcard searches. If there are common patterns that your users need to find, perhaps you can set up index entries?

Marie-Claire, this is what I did to simulate CSH:

1. Set up an alias file and a header file (I think this can be done semi-automatically).

2. Set up the intended browser size, position, and config (e.g. show/hide menus, toolbar, location bar, status bar, switch resize on or off). This is done in ...

You can set up an alias and header file (these are the CSH components) in your Flare project and then do a test on your own system with Dave's javascript tip, although you can still specify the dimensions in your Flare project, along with show/hide status bars etc. I did this last year to demo a ...

Hi Marie-Claire, I think popup here means invoked with context sensitive help (CSH). You can specify the size in Flare, but you'll need to set up CSH with your developer.

Thanks Ramon. The weird thing is that I just now closed IE and opened it again, and bingo... all ok. Very annoying. Previously I was doing CTRL+F5, which I thought was forced refresh. Oh well, lesson learned, and I will take your advice and get on with something else.

I have an HTML5 project in Flare v10.1.

I have set "margin-bottom" on the p style to 10px. When I build and view locally, everything is ok (in all browsers). But when I publish, the margin is not displayed in IE11. It is ok in other browsers.

My font sizes have relative settings - % on body and ...

Just for info: Capture is now bundled free with Flare (since 9 or 9.1?). Capture has the best integration with your Flare project (much less work to maintain images), but it does not have the best callout tools. It's swings and roundabouts.

I suppose that Acer Docs keeps a link to all Office docs in the cloud (for access from a tablet), and perhaps that link is a bit too aggressive for Flare, which is why I get the File Save dialog box. (Because Flare wants to do its own XML conversion work on the file?)

Hi Margaret - thanks!

I followed your clue about macros/templates, and after a bit more clicking I arrived at COM Add-ins - there are a few enabled on my system. After some isolation testing I found the culprit: "Acer Docs Word Addin". When I deactivate this, Word import works as intended :)

The ...
