Adding to this topic since it seems related.

I create output for help, Word, and PDF. So when defining my print output for the dropdowns I found that:
Putting the "margin" attribute in the dropDownHead DID WORK for print.
Putting the "margin" attribute in dropDownHotspot had NO affect.

I don't ...

Thanks for testing, Greg! I'll look into that.

EDIT: Well, it's something in my custom stylesheet. Tried the default css and the TOP fade worked. Now to figure out where to even look in the stylesheet.

Scroll down to see what's the what with r2018 and the new side navigation skin

I'm trying to fancify my "back to top" image so that it fades in when a user starts scrolling. I'm having three problems:
The image shows up on the left; see the css code below where I have "right: 0;" .
The image ...

Tech support found some solutions for this, see above.

Hi.

That "background image" is where you add your logo in the skin: Styles tab > Header > Logo > Background > Image.

There's no way (that I know of) to control the logo's size inside Flare. You have to change the size using a graphics tool and then re-import the image into the skin.

Arrow Solution:
This removes the arrow from the container.

.MCTextPopupArrow
{
display: none;
}

Container (Partial) Solution:
This changes the "glow" behind the container. Unfortunately, changing the max-width or max-height DOES change the size of the container, but it does NOT fit the text ...

Is it possible to create a glossary term hyperlink (or x-ref) in my PDF output so that when a user clicks the glossary term link, the PDF navigates to the glossary term in the glossary? This would be instead of using the glossary term footnote.

Thanks!

Thanks. Unfortunately (or fortunately?), it's not in a table. I'll send in bug report.

Play with the dots. For me, my MasterPage URLs are:

"../Scripts/filename.js"

"../Images/Top.png"

EDIT: I tried it myself using the following and it did NOT show up (however, read below): <link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/png" href="../Images/favicon.png" />

So then I wondered if it was a ...

Hi.

Using Flare 2017 and this isn't the first Word problem with that release (I mention this in case you're thinking of moving to 2017 and you rely on Word output).

I use a lot of dropdowns in my online help. My first-level dropdown equates to an h2 and my second-level dropdown equates to an h3 ...

Thanks KayJay. Unfortunately that's a bit above my technical skills .

Has Flare done anything with this? I'm using Flare 2017 and have a single HTML page with multiple headings in it. I'm interested in moving it to HTML5 TopNav with a side menu but don't like the idea of creating a manual TOC to include all of the sub-headings (28 sub-headings for one of the pages and ...

Thanks, Helen.

I'll wait until next week and then submit a Bug Report if no one knows of a fix.

Hi. Using Flare 2017

I've looked at various forum posts and tried the following things without luck (previous posts seem to be from 2014). Haven't used Flare in a year or two and in that version (11 or 12) when I did the following it worked but now it doesn't.

Anyhoo. I can't get the TOC Editor ...

FYI. I submitted a bug report for Flare 2017.

Thanks Nita. I have an older version install package. I'll see if I can remove 2017 and load that one to test your hypothesis.

Things I've tried:

• First word using html: <i>text</i>
• First word using span.class: <span class="Strong">text</span>
• Different bullet symbol. Used the letter o just to see if that would work (it didn't).

FIXED: This was fixed in 2017 R2.

Could swear this worked before, but haven't used Flare since version 11 or 12. Now using 2017. But using the same CSS file from a year or two ago.

We use auto-num for number and bullet lists. When the first text of the p.Step1 or p.BulletList has a formatting ...
