I'm working inside the @media print medium. I only want to change 2 or 3 styles. Any new medium would need to inherit everything else from the print medium.

As I understand CSS, each medium (e.g., the print medium) inherits only from the default medium and is independent of other mediums.

In my ...

Please explain your request with a bit more detail. For example, I don't readily know what you mean by "mappings". Are you working with External Resources? What kind of file syncing are you attempting? Are you syncing with source control? Are you syncing with a network drive? Are you publishing ...

Welcome to the forums! ;)

The component skin editor doesn't offer a way to add underlining to selected menu items, so you have to add a customization to the project's main stylesheet. The easiest way is to add a bit of code by hand.

Right-click the MainStyles.css and select Open with > Internal ...

Does this style needs to be applied manually to every top-level topic in the appendices? Or is there some clever way to tell Flare "use h1 to begin with but substitute h1.Appendix once you've passed point Z in the TOC"?

You have to apply h1.Appendix to the h1 in each appendix's first topic. That ...

The process is covered in Flare's documentation. See https://help.madcapsoftware.com/flare20 ... ol-Git.htm. I assume your new colleague has been added as a member to the Git repo.

I've assumed that you've used {chapnum} in your auto-number for your figure titles.

In your TOC, for the first chapter in your book, set its TOC properties to have the chapter number set to "1". Then, for each subsequent chapter, its TOC properties should the chapter number set to "increment".

Welcome to the forums. :)

It's a bit unclear to me just what you're trying to accomplish, but I'll key on your use of "continuous" with regard to a PDF.

If you mean that you want the PDF, when viewed, to have its page display already be set to a "continuous" option, that's something you can set in ...

Welcome to the forums. :)

Just a guess... is your project located in a network or cloud location rather than being local to the computer? For example, if you've got the project in OneDrive, there's gonna be all manner of sync issues as Flare tries to clear out the files from the last build before ...

I suggest you research in the Flare Help, starting here: https://help.madcapsoftware.com/flare20 ... ndexes.htm

I am having the opposite problem: I want hyphenation and have configured it, for both <body> and <p>, and for both default and for print output, in my CSS. Yet hyphenation is not happening in tables.
I tried what was suggested here and selected the <td> in a table and specifically set the ...

Welcome to the forums! ;)

I wouldn't call that a callout. I'd call that a type of notification or alert box. (The term "callout" typically refers to some kind of label on an image.)

You might find this Madblog article of interest. The author explains how to use divs to create notifications like ...

Did you also install the MadCap theme in Zendesk? Flare generates that theme when you publish. It's not enough that you just uploaded the .htm and related files. You have to install the theme in Zendesk, tweak a few Zendesk things (for example, edit a file so that Zendesk will look for the Flare ...

You’re not butting in, my friend! You are rightly correcting my faulty tutelage, for which we are all better off. Plus, I violated a primary rule of tech writing: Accuracy!

I think "selector" is the official name per CSS, put authors also refer to them as styles. You can most definitely create your own selectors/styles.

To get the most out of Flare, you'll need to build up your CSS muscles. You might want to read through Flare's documentation about styles, starting ...

You CAN see the annotations in the XML Editor if you show the Changes panel. Find and open a topic that has annotations in it. Then go to the Review ribbon and select the Show Changes checkbox. Then you'll see the annotations. You can then right-click on a given annotation and delete it. Or select ...

Don't be so hard on yourself! Working in the wrong medium is something that many users make, even those of us (raising hand!) who've been using Flare for years. Any time you change something in a regular stylesheet or table stylesheet and you don't see its effect, check which medium you made the ...

By "remarks", I assume you mean Flare's annotations that have been converted into comments in the PDF.

If you want to KEEP the annotations in Flare but just not show them in the PDF, then you need to change something in the PDF target. Open the target and switch to the Advanced tab. Under Output ...

Welcome to the forums! ;)

I suggest that you not add the auto-numbering to the base h1 selector. In my own practice, I typically have h1.Chp and h1.Apx selectors in which I define auto-numbering for chapters and appendixes, respectively. That way, I can use the base h1 for things like the Index and ...

You can add top and/or bottom margins in the table stylesheet, on the TableStyle Editor's General tab. See
https://help.madcapsoftware.com/flare2022/Content/Flare/Tables/Main-Activities/Editing-Table-Stylesheets1.htm

You might want to add the margins in the default medium or in a specific medium ...

There’s a checkbox on the Review ribbon that you can clear.

What kind of output are you creating?
Richard, I doubt you'll succeed in getting a response from the original poster. The last time they visited the forums was October 2019, plus the original post is from 2008 and the last response was also in 2008.

There've been a fair number of other "object ...

Unfortunately, the answer is no. The whole point of a cross-reference is to have Flare automatically grab the first heading in the topic that the xref points to and use that as the link text. If that heading ever changes, the xref will automatically update during a build. And if one manually edits ...

You are on the right track. Bear with me, I'm going on memory of an old project.

You can craft an xref format in your stylesheet and then, in the stylesheet, associate it with a condition and set the exclude action to "unbind" rather than "remove". Set your target to exclude that condition. Flare ...

I am having a similar issue--any updates I make to the PDF does not appear in HTML5 output, only in Print output. Does this have to do with Target settings, print medium, or the Print_TOC? Help!
To help us help you find a solution, please be more specific. What are you making updates to? Are you ...

I see what you mean about the Skin Editor. Given that Flare doesn't offer any margin or padding controls for the logo itself, one option is to play around with the Search bar's settings. Another option is to make a copy of your original logo image and then edit this second logo image to have some ...
