Hi Karen,

You are on the right track. The solution is to create different cross reference text for the different mediums in your style sheet:

For example:

@media print
{
MadCap|xref
{
mc-format: '{color blue}{paratext}{/color} {color black}(page {page}{/color})';
}
}

@media non-print ...

Hi Nita/Christina,

I'd suggest adding the following to the style sheet:

li p:first-child {
margin-top: 0;
padding-top:0;
display: inline;
}
This should adjust the first paragraph tag inside the list tag, but leave all other paragraph tags unaffected.

Note: The only way that I was able to ...

Edit: Ignore this. I didn't initially see the point about the TOCs being structured differently.

Another option is to use a diff tool, such as Beyond Compare (my preference) or WinMerge (free). Here are the links to the sites:

Hi there,

If you are still looking for a solution, then you could combine Ramon's suggested start up switch with the SaveAsRtf() Macro that I originally attached.

So the steps would be:
1. Add the following Macro to your Normal template:
Sub SaveAsRtf()
Dim FileName As String
With ActiveDocument ...

Hi there,

One way to achieve this would be to add the following code to your Normal.dot template. The AutoOpen() macro runs automatically each time that Word is opened, but the code below will exit without doing anything under most circumstances and should only create a .rtf file if:
The document ...

Hi there,

By default, the first paragraph of the topic will be displayed. However, you can override this text by adding a description to the topic properties (To get to this screen press CTRL + SHIFT + P while the topic has focus).

And to get back to the ribbon view, use Tools > Options on the menu.

I have had a look. Currently, there are no commands associated with the menu items, so when you click the menu items nothing happens.

Here is the code to rewire the menu items to use the same command as the button (obviously, for a real plugin you would probably want to create more than one command ...

Hi there,

Here is where your tool bar displays in my UI:

From your terminology above, the issue might be that you are currently using the Flare ribbon UI, rather than the ...

Hi there,

As a troubleshooting starting point, what happens if you build the linked target directly? Do you still experience the same problem or does everything work normally in this situation?

Hi there,

I'm using Windows 7, but I also have issues with my auto suggestions suddenly not working.

In my case, closing Flare, deleting the following folders, then reopening Flare fixes the issue:

• Output
• Project\Users
• Analyzer

Hi there,

I had a quick look. Your toolbar menu displayed correctly. If you didn't see it, it could be because the toolbar was hidden (You can hide or show toolbars from the View > Toolbars menu in Flare).

I've made a couple of quick changes to also enable the ribbon. The code is below (note I did ...

Hi there,

I had the same problem when I was creating my first plugin. In my case, adding the following empty event handler to the ButtonCommand : ICommand class fixed the problem and allowed the dll to compile:


public event EventHandler CanExecuteChanged
{
add
{

}
remove
{

}
}

Hi Donna,

What output type are you publishing from Flare? From the developer's perspective, the method of calling the page using the CSHID differs per output type.

As a starting point, if you enter "CSH" into the Flare search, the first 10 or so topics listed are specifically the steps that the ...

Hi there,

Here is a real basic, but working example that adds a toolbar strip and button. Clicking the button will copy the inner html of the currently selected topic's body tag to the clipboard.

I assume you have downloaded the Flare API documentation already. Most of the below code was ...

FYI, I logged a bug and enhancement request as follows:

If the Auto-size to fit text option is enabled, the width and height of the rectangle changes (even though the text easily fitted in the original rectangle). Also, the resizing doesn't seem to take into account the alignment of the text when ...

Hi there,

Did you follow this up with MadCap support? I have encountered the same issue as described above. I will log my own support case, but I was wondering if they gave you any advice or things to try.

Hi there,

This should get you started...

For the things that are not covered in the abovementioned guide, this forum is a pretty good reference. I know that Dave has shared a lot of information about how to perform some of the more ...

Help > Deactivate Product

I'm not sure how far back this is supported (about 3 or 4 versions from memory). For really old versions of Flare you have to contact MadCap to de-register Flare.

Having had a look in the skin editor, there doesn't appear to be the option to change this text. I'd suggest contacting MadCap Support. It appears to be something that has been overlooked.

Flare is still compiled as a 32-bit application. So, I think I am right in saying that Flare can only use a maximum of 4GB or RAM, no matter how much is installed on the machine.

If you can consistently cause the out of memory error to occur, it might be interesting to have Task Manager running in ...

Is the formatting applied correctly if you open up your source topic directly in a web browser?

A slightly modified version of your above code works fine directly in IE:

<html>
<head>
<style>
td p {margin-bottom: 50pt; background: yellow; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table style="width: *;mc-table ...

Hi there,

From your description, it sounds like you want to apply this style to all <p> elements inside <td> elements. If this is the case then you will need to swap the order of your CSS declaration, as it will currently apply to <td> elements inside <p> elements instead:


<style>
td p {margin ...

Hi there,

What version of Flare are you using? I remember that this was an issue when the HTML5 help was first introduced. In those days, we used to work around the problem by adding target="_blank" to the link so that the PDF opened in a new tab.

At a quick glance at my own project, it looks like it is coming from the MapCap Topic.css style sheet.

As a quick workaround, I was able to override this by defining the margins in my style sheet:
