Hi all,
I want to figure out how it is possible to insert magnifier code on images. It needs a bit code, but in Flare it does not work.

Such as this:

When inserting some error messages appear.

So have you code ...

Hi, you can also set a condition on a TOC entry by using [F4]. Then you have conditioned the TOC entry, but not the entire topic, so your colleagues can use it in other projects.

I use both: On topics for "use only in PDF" or "use only in HTML" and on TOC entries for only this project.

thats my bookmark code inside of the target:

<p>
a name="M-BAR_Screw_ASS"></a>
<img src="../../../Images/1_Img_ASSY_TCB_M_S/PCBs/TCB_M_Mainboard.jpg" class="B175" />
</p>

and that is my xref code from the start topic

<p class="TabText_LB">
<MadCap:xref href="../../1_Task_ASSY/PCBs/TCB_M_ASSY ...

hmmm, it does not work, then I get an empty xref link which will not be published.

Which skin type do you use, classic tripane?

How can I directly set a bookmark on a image. My ideas do not work, I can only bookmark headings.

Hi all,
is there a way to excludes files and folders when I ZIP my entire Flare project.
We are often make flare archives when the project is finished, e.g. for a closed release.

But I need not extract all the stupid stuff such as original images or anything else.
Is there a nice workaround?

Thx ...

Thanks for your answer and you are right.

Nevertheless I need the possibility to change the condition of a variable within the variable editor. Otherwise I have to change the condition state inside of all respective topics, lot of work. Ok, maybe I have some ideas of workarounds like changing it ...

The benefit is not clear for me.
- The first workaround for nesting a variable into a conditioned snippet sounds to heavy for me. In this case I have to put hundrets of variables into separate snippets.
- The second workaround has no benefit for me because Its the same work: Apply a class to my ...

Hi Rae,
many thanks for your answer.

The second idea sounds interesting, I check this. If I understand you right: Making a variable class with mc-condition attribute, right?

Hi all,
how can I define a condition for ONE variable in a variable set. The whole set works fine but not a variable inside of the variable set.
Its important becaue I´ve some snippets AND variables for the next release, they should not published at the moment.

Example:
"Tighten the screw with a ...

Hi all,
sorry for making stupid questions :lol:
I´ve bound my project to Azure and figured out the source control functions, working fine so far...

But WHERE can I versioning / making a version tag in Flare. In the past I´d used SVN outside of flare and produced an version tag from my repository ...

Hi all, when generating an HTML5 output and starting, for a short moment a search result appears in the browser window before showing the start topic.

Hi all,
we are often using snippets for one task sentence, e.g. "Remove the PCB".

When I create this snippet, I can insert it as plain <p> text or I can insert it as an ordered list.

Remove the PCB.
1. Remove the PCB.

Both works fine because when inserting the snippet via drag and drop, Flare ...

Hi all,
my popup window has the same footer as the tripane window. How can I change the master page / background behaviour for the popup window?

Hi all,
we are setting up our html5 output for responsive help, so let me asking a confusing rooky question:

I´ve change the font-size from px to rem (html root to 100% and the other classes to the right rem value. So far so good.

But what´s with the other pixel entries like margin, padding and ...

Hi all,
ich need different font sizes:
- One font size for capture images used in PDF output.
- One font size for capture images used in HTML output.

I will not make 2 different bubble / text box types which the same content with different conditions.
What I need is a CSS differentation @media ...

The holy question is. When I use images within the flare project, which is useally the case, I never have to link my capture files right?
But I´ve problems to figure out the steps for that

Hi all,
I´m bit confused about this capture function. The bold text told me that I need not link to my project images if they are within the project, e.g. to use the variable sets etc.

In the past we´d linked ALL capture images to use the project variables and ...

Interesting is, that the Primary Page Layout in the Project Properties was set to the incorrect page layout of the screenshot.
Now I´ve set the Primary Page Layout in the Project Properties to default.
Now the preview has automatically changed to the first one of the Page Layout list of the ...

Hi all,
we have some trouble with the Page Layout preview of a PDF title page.

We have correctly set the title page layout in the TOC entry properties as the last 5 years... (Printed output tab > Breaking type: Chapter Break, Page Layout: Page Layout XYZ).
When clicking on [Open File] in this tab ...

... interesting - when I change the width value from 80mm to 100% it works fine, but why?

Hi all,
I´d created a new table style and a new image class and it looks like as shown in the figure below.

Forum1.JPG

I have no idea why the image is slipping under my table in the second column.

The image class says, that the image is width 80mm and my first table column is also 80mm. I´ve ...

This is a bug an will be fixed by madcap in the next release.

The following workaround is working fine.

In the skin file go to the styles tab.
In these both "Navigation Panel Item (selected)" and "Navigation Panel Item (hover) set the "Weight" to value "bold".
