Thanks NorthEast. That got me to the solution. I'll explain what I think happened so others can avoid my mistakes. When I implemented this solution, I stated "Tripane.css" in the JavaScript. However, the actual name of the file is lowercase "tripane.css". I realized that error and had fixed it in ...

Our security team is reporting a problem. The help is deployed, and served up as, part of a server/client application. The browser console shows "Refused to apply style from 'https://localhost:8445/<app name>/help/Content/Resources/Stylesheets/Tripane.css' because its MIME type ('text/html') is not ...

The year is now 2025 and I ran into this issue. It's been happening for a few weeks now, but not consistently. It seems xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" is added to <span> and <img> elements. Is there a solution?

I have submitted a feature request for an AsciiDoc importer at https://www.madcapsoftware.com/feedback/featurerequest.aspx (I suspect other users have done the same). Even if the importer just converted AsciiDoc format to HTML files and overwrote previous imports (i.e. do what the Markdown import ...

For others who find this thread, the only content I put into the tripane.css file is:

/*<meta />*/
@font-face {
font-family: 'figtree';
src: url('fonts/Figtree-VariableFont_wght.ttf');
}
@font-face {
font-family: 'figtree italic';
src: url('fonts/Figtree-Italic-VariableFont_wght.ttf');
}

Thanks NorthEast! That works perfectly and I am so happy that I do not need to overwrite the Styles.css file.

Thank you a million times over!

Thanks for the reply Psider! I did some more testing and realized this missing font issue only applies to tri-pane HTML output. The link you provided seems to confirm that. My solution automates the process of modifying Styles.css after the build (rather than the manual steps described in the linked ...

I would like to use the Figtree font for our HTML Help. We generate tripane and top nav. I am able to distribute the font files in a /fonts/ directory within Content\Resources\Stylesheets. The primary stylesheet then refers to those font files. The HTML topics display using the Figtree font. The ...

Wow - I just posted about this over in the Printed Targets forum on an old thread. https://forums.madcapsoftware.com/viewtopic.php?p=148047#p148047

In my case, OneDrive is the culprit. If I pause syncing I can do multiple builds without the access to path error. However, I had to delete the entire ...

It seems OneDrive is the culprit. If I pause the OneDrive sync and then delete the Output folder, I can do repeated builds without an error. Even if I wait until OneDrive has sync'd the Output folder, it still blocks subsequent builds. Thus, pausing the sync after deleting the output folder appears ...

I have been having a similar issue the past month so I figured I would revive this old topic to see if anyone has some suggested solutions.

I can work around this by deleting the entire /Output/ directory before each build. But, I can never have two successful builds in a row.

The error I get is ...

I also upgraded to Windows 11 a few weeks ago. I needed to right-click the font file and then click Show More Options. Then the Install for All Users option is available. I am not an Admin.

You could put these variables into a snippet, and include that snippet in every topic you need to, then set the values for those variables at snippet level within each topic.


That is a way better and brilliant solution. Kind of mad at myself for not thinking of it :D Ignore my crazy idea please.

Could you leverage the Volume Number property (assuming you don't already use it)? However, incrementing the Volume Number appears to require a chapter break, so this solution may not work if you have topics within chapters and each of those topics needs a unique variable. If you are not using ...

Thanks for posting this question and the replies. We use many tables within the documentation and this warning occurs frequently even though the tables can easily fit on an 8.5" wide page. Now that I know the "the page number reported has nothing to do with the pages in the final PDF output" I was ...

Thanks scap, especially for the link to the related issue. You are correct that this is a known issue. Madcap support responded today stating

I found that the '?' at the end of a search phrase showing 0 results, is an existing bug in Tripane skin output. Regarding this issue, I have submitted a ...

Greetings. I am setting up micro content in my Flare project. I am using the installed version of Flare to generate tri-pane HTML and I am using the standard Madcap Search. My users sometimes type a question in the Search box such as "How do I move jobs to another production queue?" and may or may ...

Update: I found a hack that solves my immediate problem, but I hope there is a better CSS solution available.

In my case, the failure to have long strings break in the first column was causing the fourth / last column to be so narrow the text did not display in an optimal way. I create a blank ...

Greetings. Was a solution found for this? Is there a bug reference I can can go vote up? I am having the same issue. I need to force wrap long property names in the first column of a table. I can make it work in HTML using CSS, but the PDF output ignores all of my attempts. I can insert a soft <br ...

You must be generating Top Nav help. I believe Search.htm is added to the /Content/ directory when you build the project. When I get these strange "unable to find the specified file" it is usually because the file path has become too long - I don't know how long that is. When I shorten the overall ...

What type of text are you applying the center style to (<p>, <h1> etc.)? I was able to apply style="text-align: center;" to a paragraph <p> and it behaved properly in the generated PDF. I know you don't want to mess with the stylesheet, but there might be an style defined there for '@meda print ...

@doloremipsum - worked perfectly! I noticed that "on facing page" was always generated on even pages with a reference to the next odd page (which would be the facing page). I was a worried the reverse would also be true, but "previous" was always used in those cases. Thus, by specifying "on the next ...

I was able to do this in HTML side nav output by modifying properties of the MadCap|breadcrumbsProxy in the CSS. You can specify the image as a background and set the prefix text to blank. You will need to indent the text beyond the image width. If you go with an image that is taller than the text ...

All of my end users view the PDFs as a single page layout. The phrase "on the facing page" makes no sense to them. We use left and right page layouts so the page number position and footer text can be varied and the document will look nice in the unlikely event a user actually prints it (and maybe ...

Thank you for this post - it worked for me as well (Flare 2022). I had previously downloaded the font (Gotham Book and many variations) to c:\fonts (a directory I created) and then used the Fonts Control panel to add those to my Windows 10 system. They were then displayed in C:\Windows\Fonts. When I ...
