I'm not sure if there's a way to force this for all lists created, but you can do it in the interface. From memory, select the list items, right-click and select Make Paragraph Items. (I don't have Flare in front of me at the moment.)

Edit: there definitely isn't a way with css itself.

You can ...

Hi there,

You will need to update the link pseudo classes in your style sheet. For more information see the following link:

Hi Dasha. Welcome to the forums! :)

I believe that that file is named based on the name of the target and/or the output file (I suspect the latter; I'm not on Flare at the moment to check.) Sounds like you have more than one project whose target is outputting to "default", and that's why the ...

Post of the year (so far). Awesome stuff!

When I looked into this a four years ago, I was told by MadCap that a full installation of Flare was required on the build server. However, MadCap did allow for a special build-only license to be purchased which was significantly cheaper than than a user license.

As mentioned, my correspondence ...

Hi there,

If you have to stay with Flare 11, then one option might be to make a new medium for the outputs where you do not want the images (and other content) to display, and apply that medium to the required targets. You can then use CSS to hide the elements:

img {
display:none;
}

Note: The ...

Hi there. I'd report that to MadCap support if I were you. It sounds like a bug.

Thanks Nita, that was the obvious thing I was missing for the headers, clearly. Tables in Flare are frustrating me to no end, in the Print medium anyway. I suppose I do not have a great understanding of how to set options like widows and orphans and page breaks so that I get them to do what I want ...

Have you tried adding a new attribute to the XML nodes returned by the ISelection.GetXmlNodeList() method?

Here's the macro to update the styles in Word:


Sub Assign_HLevels()

On Error Resume Next

'Update headings:
ActiveDocument.Styles("h1").ParagraphFormat.OutlineLevel = wdOutlineLevel1
ActiveDocument.Styles("h2").ParagraphFormat.OutlineLevel = wdOutlineLevel2
ActiveDocument.Styles("h2_1 ...

I have a (very) high level understanding of how this is done, but having never tried it myself, I don't know how easy this will be. I am pretty sure there was a topic on this before though, because I didn't figure this out by myself but read it somewhere.

Make a Backup before trying any of this and ...

Hi there,

This information is stored in the following location in the registry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MadCap Software\Flare\License

I had the same problem before when importing a huge XML file. In my case I was able to split the file in two and import each half independently.

I think that the problem ultimately comes down to Lingo being a 32-bit application, so it only has access to 4 GB of RAM, no matter how much total RAM is ...

I can give a little bit of insight into the red X errors that appear on some topics with images in tables, as MadCap did extensive research on my machine in order to reproduce the bug in Flare 11.

There were two workarounds:

1. Change the Layout to Print. The issue only occurred in Web Layout ...

Hi there,

I believe that the name of the sub-folder where you put your plugin must match name of your dll file.
So if your dll is called MyPlugIn.dll, it should be in the Plugins\MyPlugIn folder.

Hi there,

I don't know if this is your problem or not, but I have found that to change the page layout in a Word output, in the TOC you need to set the Break type option to Chapter Break rather than Page Layout Break. The Page Layout Break type does not seem to be respected when the Word output is ...

Hi there,

If there are too many images to rotate manually, you could use a script to update them.

For example, the following Powershell script should rotate all images in a folder:

Disclaimer: The below did seem to work on my machine, but I'm no Powershell expert so use this at your own risk ...

Hi there,

Unfortunately, I can't provide a lot of insight here, but I have encountered the same frustrations. Last year I asked MapCap Support for a definitive list of which complex selectors are supported for each target type. Unfortunately, they were not able to provide this information and ...

Thanks Dave. You learn something new everyday!

Hi Jim,

The short answer is that I don't think this is possible directly within Flare (although you can create and run a report, the look and feel is not tabular).

The longer answer is yes, there is a way to achieve this:

Each Flare project contains a Content9.s3db file in the Analyzer\Content ...

Hi there,

At my previous company we had a system where the latest version was stored in a variable in a javascript file on the server at a relative path that was valid for all of the help systems. Each help system topic also had a variable inserted via the master page that contained the version ...

Hi there,

Starting with the basics, I assume that you have restarted your PC (it is amazing what a PC restart can fix).

Are there any other Flare users at your company? If yes, do they experience the same problem? This would indicate that it is something in the project that is causing the issue ...

Having had a quick look, I'd suggest that the Analyzer\Content.cadbf\Content9.s3db-wal or Analyzer\Content.cadbf\Content9.s3db files time stamp looks to be a better indicator of when a Flare project was last updated.

I'm not sure whether it is possible to extend an existing Flare panel (I've never tried), but you can definitely add your own panel, and then add your controls to that panel.

I'd recommend starting by trying out the examples in the Flare API documentation (available from http://www.madcapsoftware ...

It looks like your code has a drop down within a drop down but only one drop down header.

Try this instead:

<MadCap:dropDown>
<MadCap:dropDownHead>
<MadCap:dropDownHotspot>Cash Drawer Report: WebPay Refunds Summary Tab</MadCap:dropDownHotspot>
</MadCap:dropDownHead>
<MadCap:dropDownBody>
