If you can create your icon as a Unicode character instead of an image, that may work in the TOC. Be aware, though, that the TOC typically drops formatting from the heading in the topic, so you are going to be limited to characters that exist in whatever font you are using for the TOC.

I assume you are talking about the Identifier you can see in the alias editor, which is one of the ways you can create context-sensitive help. These identifiers should not normally change or get attached to different topics unless you change them directly, so I am not clear how you ended up with ...

I don't know that there is an easy way to change the text. But you can set the mc-closed-image and mc-open-image attributes of the MadCap|dropDown style to images with text similar to this to achieve that effect.

Compatibility mode is not the same as file format. Compatibility mode limits which Word features are available (so that you can avoid using features that only became available in Word 2016 when collaborating with somebody using another version of Word). It also changes certain rules Word uses for ...

Your cross-references are probably set up to copy the title of the linked topic, so that is replacing the anchor text in your document. The problem is that your topics all have the title "Why sample" so you need to fix the topics to have correct titles.

Alternatively, it is possible that your ...

Try to simply the directory structure you are making. Images and Stylesheets do not have to go into separate folders inside Resources, and your topics do not need to be in folders nested three levels deep. Just make one layer of folders under Content, and all image links will look like ../images ...

Popups are limited to the height or width of their containing window.

A trick I used in one of my documents where there was a 2200-pixel-tall screenshot of a sample notification email my product sends is to put the image at full size inside a drop-down. That allows it to be full size and scrollable ...

It's not a valid color because the code has 5 hexadecimal digits. To be valid, it has to have 3, 6, or another multiple of 3 characters after the #.
It's not showing up because it's not valid. Search for it in the source for the .css file and the page.

I understand your concern, but using snippets (and two topics whose content is mostly in a snippet) is the right way to do what you want. If you only have one topic and one output, the output only has one topic which can only appear with one set of content.

Besides that, using the same topic more ...

If you do this, you should replace the filenames everywhere - in topics, TOCs, alias files, etc.

It seemed to work for me. I have a table in my PDF output which has a header that would have been orphaned if not for this. I don't know if there are other differences, such as the use or lack thereof of thead tags, which affect this.

Is the image being resized in the output for any reason?

You don't mention it, but if you have modular CHM help (where multiple CHM files make up one help system), that's not going to work with top nav, which doesn't support merging the output of multiple projects. That is OK in HTML5 tripane.

bm2i, I think you are right about that. This is making the "number" label a floating element left of the main div content, and this probably causes it to always float to the top of the box. If there is not another positioning option that works for you, try using mc-autonumber-class , which assigns a ...

Do you mean that the TOC pane is empty, or that it is not displayed and you are seeing only the topic?

If the latter, it is probably that you are calling the topic file directly rather than going through the skin. Help calls should use a URL which goes through the skin .htm file in the top level ...

So what you really want is conditional styles.

One way to do this is to have two different style sheets. In this case, you'd make a variant of p.chapterFirst which have the white font in one stylesheet and black in the other and is applied to the paragraphs in this topic. You can set the target ...

Check whether there is something different in the way these pages are being loaded, such as a link to a bookmark vs. a link to the page itself.

Check whether there is anything different in the HTML formatting of the page, a different style or a div or other element which could be affecting the ...

In a Flare project, what decides if a topic starts a new chapter are settings on its TOC entry.

So make two copies of the TOC entry, one conditioned for the first project and one conditioned for the second. (The topic itself does not need any special conditioning and appears in both outputs.)
Then ...

Flare has integration with many source control systems, including SVN. Alternatively, you can use an external SVN client to handle commits.
Flare has a command-line build system called madbuild. You can use this to launch documentation builds in your continuous integration system.
You can specify ...

It should be possible to do that with some custom javascript in the skin which looks for this parameter and loads the appropriate images. I think those images are set in CSS, so you'd probably be having your javascript write CSS to the page which overrides the original.

You may be better off using conditional formatting to exclude the content you don't want in the new project, and generate everything with two different targets in the same project.
You can do conditional formatting in the TOC also to deal with the two different structures for part of the TOC.

You can put it inside a drop-down text to collapse it.

If your conditional tags are applied properly to the content, you should not need to use advanced build expressions nor includes. Use only excludes.
For the target for Product A print output, exclude Product B, Web Only, and DoNotPublish and do not check any boxes for Product A or Print Only.
For ...

To create multiple paragraphs in a list item, right-click the list item and click Create paragraph item. This wraps the list item in a paragraph tag. If you press enter in this paragraph now, you will create a new paragraph still inside the list item and indented the same way as the first paragraph ...

If the topics use different style sheets, or even have styles defined inline within the topics, this could affect the appearance of the snippet.
