Does anyone know if this is still an issue with footnotes?

I just came across this while working in a table, I have headings that are text pop-ups that I've choose to expand to footnotes in print output. However, it keeps numbering the footnote as 1 when it should go 1, 2, 3, etc. Is this a ...

I have not yet started using the "mark as new" indicator for new topics so am wondering if anyone has any best practices or suggestions. I'm struggling with deciding when to remove the indicator, when the topic is no longer considered "new". Is there a time frame or a best practice?

Thanks!

Good info, thank you!

It looks like the max width currently set is to 4 inches. I'm not as familiar with DPI settings. There's so many options I guess I don't know which is standard to use (see options below) and to know what numbers to set.

I forgot to mention I'm not using Flare's image editor, I'm using the screenshot tool SnagIt. I've been creating two images just different sizes and conditioning them one for print and one for online only.

Thank you!

Hello,

I'm trying to preview the PDF/print output using the Layout (Print) and Medium (print). I have conditioned images for web only and they are still showing in the print layout. Is there a way to preview how the final output will look with conditions applied?

Thanks!

I have a slightly different question. I'm trying to understand how to single source images for PDF and HTML but make the size different for PDF. For the online help I use thumbnails for images so sizing on the webpage doesn't matter as much but when printing, some of the images are hard to read and ...

Yes, that's the option I'm using.

Is the topic file name the H1 title when you open it or the file name in the Content Explorer? I've noticed you can also change the name as it appears in the TOC by changing the "label".

I'm not sure that I'm explaining clearly, let me try again. :)

I renamed the topics in the Content Explorer (so I could number them in a certain order) so they are named slightly different than how they are named in the heading 1 title when opening the topic. When I add the topic to the TOC it ...

I am wanting to change the name of the topics in the PDF TOC slightly different than how I have the topics named in the Content Explorer. I am able to right click the topic in the TOC and change the label, but it does not keep this label the next time I build and if I add/remove topics from the TOC ...

I have V8 and it's slightly different. I have to click the eye icon in the XML toolbar at the top for code view, but I'm still trying to figure out how to remove certain tags in codes as it doesn't allow me to easily delete.

The code view does not let me delete the extra <li> tag, it says <li+> which I've never seen the plus in a tag before.

Aha, yes that was the issue. Great catch. Thanks so much Choccie!

I'm having a similar issue only mine is that the changes are saved and when I go to use the updated style, it's not updated with the new change even though in the stylesheet it shows it as saved. I have closed Flare completely and reopened and tried to use again and it's still using the old style ...

I am trying to insert a snippet that's part of a bulleted list in another list, only indented. I'm having trouble getting this to work properly. Is there a better way to insert a snippet in a list without it creating an extra bullet?

I have called out in a red box in the image below how it is ...

I'm creating PDF output and am trying to figure out how to make the glossary terms be inline text rather than footnotes. Is this done in the stylesheet or another area of properties?

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply.


In my published target, I can click on a topic and copy the link to the specific html page. When I do that in the built target, the topic for the link I right click on specifies it's for that specific topic, yet it opens to the intro start-up topic, so I have to drill down ...

I'm thinking it's because it's only built and not published. It works for my published output just not for the built draft output.

Good catch, that worked! You were right, there should be no spaces in the image name or the TOCEntry name. Thank you!!

This is what I was going for.

First, I'm not sure what you mean by the Navigation section. I have Navigation Panel that shows TOC but can't add a class to it. Then I have just TOCEntry where the icons were blank by default, I was able to add a class to that called PDF TOC.

Would I just add the PDF icon ...

... but you can't change them for specific topics, or even based on the type of topic. It's an all-or-nothing setting.
No, you can that with v4. I don't think it was available in v3, but it might be.

I have followed the instructions given by the feedback on how to apply a new icon but it's not ...

I'm using the free review mode of Contributor and I thought it would apply the conditions but it really doesn't. For example, I have a condition tag "Retire" that means that content can be deleted or no longer applies but we keep it in the topic as a condition in case we ever need to add it back in ...

Hello,

I am trying to create a mini-TOC in a topic for web output. When I go to preview, it doesn't show the topics that are supposed to appear there. Is there a way to get them to appear? Thanks!

That's a good idea. I might go for that. Thank you!
