Hi,

Chm files cannot contain links to files outside the chm, unless they use http-protocol. This is a restriction from Microsoft html help.
For this, DocToHelp has the Media Folder which is completely copied into all results.

So, make sure that all your files that are called are in the media ...

Hi Ubru,

First I suggest not to send a target or output to translator but a copy of your source files, for several reasons. They depend on what you want to achieve with DocToHelp besides a manual.
Further suggestions:
1. start a new project with translated docs, based upon your original project.
2 ...

Hi,

I suggest that you compare default and print medium in your Stylesheet side-by-side in advanced view.

Hi,

draw a rectangle with Capture, open its properties, and choose (Default) or (transparent) for Fill start (see attached screenshot).

Hi,

your customers might have problems if you publish a chm on a network drive, unless they have really old Internet Explorer versions installed!

Hello,

MadCap has some Tipps & tricks (https://kb.madcapsoftware.com/Content/DocToHelp/General/GEN1016D_-_Extra_button_in_Upgraded_Theme.htm) in its Knowledge Base for a behaviour observed with responsive themes.
But there seem to be some more issues with upgrading themes from V5 to V6. I now ...

Hi Sjouke,

have you installed Microsoft Patches?
Then I would first try an almost empty project with the contents provided by MadCap and the original templates from MadCap, locally, not on any server.
Does this create a Manual?

Hello,

I would suggest to remove <div> tags in Flare's source documents, using its "find and replace" function.

Hi,

you can choose background color for html in your css, e.g. styles.css to the color you want.

Hi,

Flare can not import LaTex source documents directly, but you may get convinient results with Import of html files generated by Latex. Give it a try!

Hi,

if you see undefined styles e.g. p.C1Hbullet or span.D2HNogloss in Analyzer you may delete them. This will remove them from the files that they used them.

Hi,

I suggest to
1. add a stylesheet to the project that has all styles necessary in your Flare Project, e.g. modern.css from Factory Templates (see first screenshot, context menus).
2. make this stylesheet project default css (see Project, Project properties, second screenshot).

And read the pdf ...

Hi,

I would create a pdf in the Flare Project which contains only those parts that you want, then create a link in all chapters that should show this pdf. Maybe a masterpage for Sandwiches could make it easier.
I am not sure whether there is a simplier solution, since I am still not completely ...

Hi,

I am not sure whether you really mean Html Help. If so, it's to be found in Default Skin, see attached picture!

Hi,

I suggest to cure these issues with D2H-methods, e.g. add something to every header (use the function XML-Transformation in Help Target Dialog, see 1.png to create appropriate text in header area, for description and keywords) I don't know whether it helps, but give it a try.
The "alt" issues ...

My next idea: do you have a blank paragraph before the Index Proxy?

Hi,

if you work with table styles you may modify almost everything. Please see attached screenshot. It shows where you can modify vertical alignment. for both body styles separatly.

Hello,

I would search for it...
1. in the page layout
2. in stylesheet for the style that is used for your heading, i.e. Index

Hello,

you may add your own stop list which doesn't contain the words you want to find.

Hello,

MadCap has a lot of Options for Import of Word files. And yes, every manual page break will start a new topic.

Hello,

DocToHelp does not generate a sitemap. Search the web for a solution!

Hello,

I assume that in the first case your image is not stored inside your local project.

Hello,

yes, it is possible, at least with Tripane Skin in Flare 2019. Here is how to manage it:
1. in Flare open Insert, Hyperlink
2. for Link to choose Website:
3. below, for Target Frame choose Same Frame.

This works (partially) as you want it, I tested it with Tripane Skin.

Hi Chainware,

DocToHelp V5 has had 2 minor updates, last one is release 1521. It's not very far away from 1518

I hope for a new major release, like you, at least for continued support for upcoming Word versions.
