MadCap Software Forums

They will need a separate installation of the help output and a method of customizing the product to use this version of the help.
If you have a static set of extra content from them, you could create another copy of the help on your server at another URL which includes this customer's extra ...

Are those H2/H3/H4s in separate topics? Each topic is a potential search result.

This is a general issue with thumbnails. My procedure for creating thumbnails has always been to right-click the image and Reset Size, then apply the thumbnail style.

It's also an issue to consider any time you import content. Image sizes set in the original document may not be appropriate in the ...

Do you have a gray background in the default medium or in some other element?

I just printed a topic from one of my projects from Chrome (latest, 63.0.3239.132 64-bit) and it did not print with a gray background.

Did you do that for all of them, or only the ones you wanted on the second row?

To set up a picture made of little pictures like this, put the whole thing in a div (or table cell, etc.) and set each image to position: absolute; left: ___px; top:___px; where the left and top values arrange the ...

If you scroll way over in that TOC grid view, you'll eventually find Page Number Reset, which controls whether the document keeps incrementing page numbers or starts over on a particular topic. Normally most TOC entries should not reset the page number, but this is what controls the resetting back ...

You don't need to put that style into the toolbar script. The thumbnail popup is part of the topic and you can put it in your regular style sheet.

Try setting your laptop to 200% or 300% scaling instead of 250%. That should mean that it doesn't have to dither to fill the pixel of the image that falls into that 50% on your screen and it should look cleaner.

Conditions and variables are both referenced as filename.itemname, such as Primary.printonly for a printonly condition in the condition file called Primary.
If you merge them into a single file, you will also need to update all the references to them in the topics, TOCs, targets, etc. But once that ...

You upgraded ... from what to what?

The System.LinkedTitle variable comes from a Flare feature introduced in one of the 2017 versions which allows you let the TOC entry text be determined by the title of the linked topic. However, your screen shot shows Flare 12, an earlier version which did not ...

If you have the information about what topics need to link to each identifier, you can make your own alias file with the information. You will need to put it into the XML format Flare expects, though. Take a look at anything you have built in Flare. Aside from the XML header and the ...

I am not quite sure what you seeing, but I can guess.

If you are importing from a non-help system like FrameMaker, there aren't going to be existing identifiers. So Flare has probably generated those identifiers (topic name in the identifier column) for you, in which case it generated identifiers ...

One thing you can do with Javascript, in HTML5 tripane output, is to modify elements in the skin (which is basically everything outside the topic frame). Many colors and sizes and such are configurable through options in the skin, but if you want to configure things beyond that, your only real ...

I think I found a solution for you:

<table style="page-break-before:always;">
<col style="width: 250px;" />
<col />
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style="background-image: url('image/your_image.png');"> </td>
<td>Your long list here</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

The first cell is empty, but has a ...

Assuming you are using a PDF target for your release notes, you could set the option which sets heading levels using the TOC. Then you have a TOC for each x.y version and the x.* TOC includes each of the other ones one level indented.

You should also use physical dimensions (such as inches or pt) for the PDF output, as it is defined by the size of a physical document rather than on-screen formatting (which is based on pixels).
So if you are producing a PDF based on a US Letter 8.5 inch wide document with 1 inch borders on each ...

You can define classes on the MadCap-specific elements, like MadCap|dropDown.special to define a "special" class, and format each of them separately in the CSS. Flare will handle these appropriately for the output.

However, what you cannot do is define complex selectors involving the special ...

What exactly are you trying to achieve? The javascript comments suggest you want to close the dropdown if the user clicks anywhere outside it, which makes it sound like a popup rather than a dropdown.

You're confusing two different files.

The URL for a help topic in an HTML5 project looks like:
some/path/Default.htm#topic.html

Default.htm is the master file for the help system, the one which all help calls go through. You'll find it in the top folder of your help output (a level above the ...

Frankly, I think both of your numbered lists also imported incorrectly because the two numbered items in each list imported as separate lists rather than a single list. One of them just imported more incorrectly because the following bulleted item imported without a surrounding list tag.

Report a ...

Web servers have a web of creating redirects, so you can specify that when they try to go to example.com/foo they get example.com/bar instead.
This is outside of the project itself, though, and the way you set this up will depend on the specific web server. You should discuss this with the webmaster ...

It looks like the other topics which that topic is between in the TOC are bookmarks to sections of the big original topic.

TOC entries to bookmarks are ignored in PDF output. The main entry to the big topic, without a bookmark, appears somewhere earlier in your TOC, and this is causing the entirety ...

When the last element on the page is a dropdown, list, etc., press the down arrow key (perhaps multiple times) and watch the structure bars at the left. The cursor will change into a horizontal cursor, and at the bottom you will be in the <body> element (in my screenshot, the first bar at the far ...

Sorry for my earlier curt reply. I have seen too many people here doing contortions to try to turn top nav into tripane help when it is vastly easier to just make tripane help.

You may be able to make this work with CSS properties. You will need to investigate the details of the output to see which ...

This is exactly what tripane output is for.
