Re: Images in HTML5 output too small/low res
Leave the images set to normal size in the source, but apply a style which sets the max-width in the medium used for the print output.

Re: Some images don't display in published HTML5 output
Another thought, if the server is Linux, is to ensure that the file name uses the same case as the image reference in the topic. File names are case sensitive on Linux but not in Windows, so some mismatched links that work on Windows will fail on Linux.

Re: Referencing topics in another PDF project
Flare only evaluates page references like this for the manual it is building, so in general this is not going to work. Some ideas:
Fake it all with variables. After you build the manuals once, update the variables to the right page numbers and then build it again. Fiddly, especially if you have a ...

That happened because you are not loading the topic through the skin. Take a look at the URL for the topic you want when you load it normally. It should look something like

Re: Can I create a cross reference to the next topic in the
Cross references do not do this. They link to specific topics.
Something that might work is to use the topic toolbar Next Topic and Previous Topic buttons.

Re: Update links disabled when renaming files and topics
Possibly that time you said not to update links broke all the links to the items in question. It would have broken all links except ones between files in the moved folder. Did you try moving the folder back to its old name first?
Flare doesn't ask the question if there are no links to break.

Re: Need to print full-size images from HTML5 output
It doesn't work because Flare substitutes resized copies of the images as the thumbnails, even if you don't use the option which makes resized copies of scaled images in general. So no amount of CSS trickery can make this work. Maybe a very sophisticated Javascript could recognize the thumbnailed ...

You create a topic containing a TOC Proxy element. You should put the heading in this topic that you want to appear above the print TOC and otherwise leave the topic blank except for the proxy.

Re: Keep caption with table but allow table to break
I am surprised page-break-before: avoid; on the caption element does not work. But maybe try to use a complex selector:
tr:last-of-type {
page-break-after: avoid;

This will apply the page break formatting to the last table row, which you can additionally specify to be tables of a certain class ...

If you have header files in your project that you don't want Flare to use with a given target, set conditions on them to exclude those files. Since header files are not XML, the conditions will be stored in a .props file alongside the header file, but this works.

Mediums are probably the way to go. In the Advanced tag of the target you can specify the stylesheet medium to use for that target. This works very well for PDF output; not so sure about others.

The issue with inline scripts is that they often include < and > symbols which would be taken by HTML as tags. The CDATA is a clever trick that makes the two syntaxes compatible with one another. In:

page-break-(somewhere): avoid IS effectively keep-with-next. It says "don't allow a page break to occur here if it's avoidable by moving something to another page."
