Are you using MathML or LaTeX?

So here's how I solved this old problem. We use Piwik, but it might as well be Google Analytics.
We want to get statistics from three sites. Each site needs a separate Piwik code.
So I created three snippets, each with a complete Piwik script in it, but with different Piwik codes.
I tagged the ...

Hi,
In my case, variable insertion does not work when I use the word "the" before the variable. That is because Flare autosuggests a snippet starting with "The" (which quite often happens). So when I want to write "You can use the [Productname] to...", then the "the" blocks Flare from suggestion the ...

This is set in the master page. Add something like this:

Code: Select all

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="../Images/favicon.png" type="image/png" />

in the <head> section of the master page(s), add the image to the specified folder, and publish. It should work...

You shouldn't have to rename the source folder. I had a similar issue:
copy $(ProjectDirectory)Content\A_Introduction_Topics\Not_available.htm $(OutputDirectory)\Content\A_Introduction_Topics
didn't work for me until I added quotes:
copy "$(ProjectDirectory)Content\A_Introduction_Topics\Not ...

Thanks, Nita, for this!
I personally strongly dislike this new behavior in part for the exact reason you state, all those extra empty paragraphs.
I will give in a "feature request" (if you can call it that) to remove that unfortunate side effect.
The problem is accentuated by Flare adding the ...

@Nita: You wrote:
If you use Flare 12 and output to Word, Flare will turn the div into a one-celled table that has the background and border.
I just discovered that. That is not very nice of Flare. I've got a lot of constructs like this one:
<div class="rnote">
<p><i>TEXT:</i> TEXT</p>
<p ...

For completion - if you want to use the original placeholder instead of a fixed text:
<script>
var s = $( ".search-field" );
var p = s.attr("placeholder");
s.focus(function() {
s.attr("placeholder", "");
});

s.blur(function() {
s.attr("placeholder", p);
});
</script>
The "p" variable ...

It's a matter of taste. Different web sites do this differently. Some retain the "Search" text or icon until users start typing - I suppose as a service to those who might forget what the field is for between the time they click it and start typing... Others clear the box immediately. So the easy ...

Doesn't work for me:

This is in a table cell:
Udbetalingssystem.Summer.Kørsler .BehandlingAfStatsafgiftsindberetningssvar
Note the space in front of ".Behandling..." - that's the zero space. Then why does it not wrap there..?
I copied the text above from the generated PDF. In actual fact, the PDF ...

So I've got this scenario:
Two condition tags: "Print only" and "Intro-Exclude".
For one target, I want to publish both conditions.
For another target, I want to exclude the Intro-Exclude condition.
However, a text may be marked with both conditions:
<p MadCap:conditions="General.Print only ...

I've made our list of error codes into a "shrinking table" with its own search field with a bit of javascript- the table shrinks as you type stuff into the search field.
Turned out pretty nice, actually.
Feel free to contact me if you want to go that way.

Hi,
Does any of you have any clever ideas for creating a bibliography - a project-wide list of textual references?
Something tells me "Gloassary" - but has anyone used a glossary in this way?
Thanks,
Niels

Erm, now running Mimic 8 on Windows 10.

I upgraded to Windows 10. Repairing the installation of "Windows Media Encoder 9 Series" from Programs & Features seems to have done the trick.

Very nice indeed!
I never got it to Datatables work due to conflicts with require.js and whatnot, so I wrote my own javascript table filter (sorting was not required). I found it easier to write my own than to work out how to get around require.js.

Hi,

If you're talking about Web output, you can do something similar to this (which was made for the index):
viewtopic.php?f=9&t=21421

Thanks for the solution. Adding
@namespace MadCap url('localhost');
to the style sheet did it for me. However, my Flare editing space, which uses the same style sheet, is now broken because Flare barfs on the @namespace command. :x
And I can't include it in an imported style sheet because that ...

Just to add one important thing:
Seems that the browser, after encountering the invalid text string in the CSS, actually skips the FIRST otherwise valid CSS after that.
So I have now added
html {}
on the first line after the text string mentioned. The browser (at least IE and Chrome) skips that ...

Hi,
I've found a way to keep Flare from messing up my stylesheets. My problem was not just with error messages, but Flare actually mangled my css. For instance,
.rnum tr:not(.pdftype) td:nth-child(2) {
font-weight: 600;
}
-became
.rnum tr:not(\00002Epdftype) td:nth-child(2)
{
font-weight: 600 ...

Fabulous! Can't wait to try it out! (Tomorrow I'm going to a Frame conference, MadUsers, just north of Copenhagen, so I'll have to wait til Thursday...).

I'll post my results here.
Thanks!

Dave, I am having trouble with exactly that - getting datatables to Work in Frame 11, top nav.
Actually, my problem with Require.js came when I tried to implement list.js.
Anyway, I am very, very interested in learning how you got datatables to work, and how you configure Require.js!

Thanks!

As I understand it, your question is, "Can I exclude un-conditional text from my output?"
I'm afraid the answer to that is no!

Perhaps you can do some post-processing with a Word macro that removes everything that is NOT styled in a certain way.

Hi,
The Insert Text Box function just lists the divs in your stylesheet, and lets you insert them and format them further.
It does not insert an <input type='text'> kind of text box. Sorry!

Better still: Use

Code: Select all

	display: table-cell;
	display: -webkit-box;

-then IE will pick up table-cell, and the others will pick up -webkit-box (which is better). Table-cell adapts to the width of the content, looking "funny" when the content is short; -webkit-box spreads as far as it can.
