You could probably use some regex to insert a line break at the end of certain closing tags, but this seems like it would be arduous. When I see this happen it's usually because something has removed the existing line break characters, I've never been able to consistently replicate it though.

Edit ...

You could use a regex find/replace:

Find: Replace:

Yup. There is also a DOMPurify patch that I found out about here - https://forums.madcapsoftware.com/viewtopic.php?t=34821

Seems to me like it was only communicated to people who reported it or had a ticket open etc.

Very bad communication from MadCap on this and considering they seemingly want to ...

Yes this makes sense, though it will be considerably more tricky than just hiding strings. I think similar things have been done before by using JavaScript to look through the linked content so it's worth searching the forums for references to that (if it lets you!)

Depending on how your part numbers are structured, you might be able to use jQuery to hide them in the mini toc. If you give me some examples I might be able to make a jQuery regex function for you that would work.

I also agree Capture is outdated. It doesn't allow any scrolling capture on a website because it falsely detects changes.

There are no applications out there I know of that can replicate the .PROPS functionality of Flare, so if that is important then you should continue to use capture. I personally ...

It's good for 11 days. I don't know why and I can't change it, but 11 seems to be the magic number for Slack.

That's exactly what it means, your third-party application displaying field-level help in context (i.e. in a popup etc).

Essentially you'd make a CSH call within your app when someone clicks a '?' or similar icon, and then the micro content for that field is displayed in the app, rather than in the ...

Do they have Git for Windows installed? You can check if so and if Flare is using it in File > Options (cog) > Source Control.

If you it isn't installed then follow the link from Flare to download the latest version and install it with all default options except when you get to Choosing HTTPS ...

Appreciate you keeping this updated even though no-one here could help you!

The MadCap|* style classes are a little odd sometimes. They are converted at buildtime into other classes and you likely need to target those in your CSS instead, this means it will work in the browser, but not in the Flare editor

If you set on a heading type in your Print CSS, then it shouldn't show up in any TOCs

Assuming nothing is changing to the content and it's a straight URL swap it should be fine as all the history is contained in the repo. I'd definitely make sure you've committed any pending work to a branch and pushed/published that branch first though, just in case.

You can use .gitignore to ensure publish destinations files aren't bound to source control and create them manually on each machine.

Hi Ben, welcome to the forums, do you have any errors in the developer console (F12)?

Thanks so much!

I have invited you

So long as you install Git where Flare expects it (C:\Program Files) there should be no problem with this!

It's worth noting that conditional text is pretty blunt in its implementation, for example you can't exclude at a general level and then include at a more specific level.

Take the following example:

<div MadCap:conditions="Status.Draft">
<p>Conditional Paragraph</p>
<ul MadCap:conditions ...

Try using a jQuery function in the toolbar javascript section:

$(document).ready(function() {
$(".help-button").on("click", function() {
window.open("https://www.google.com", "_blank");
});
});


You'll need to change google.com to your support link and the help-button class to a unique ...

There may be other ways around it, but nothing springs to mind immediately for me.

The bug report form is located here.

This seems like it would be a tricky fix.

There's probably a function buried somewhere deep in the bundled MadCap JS that's making this change inadvertently. Any fix you did would be very hacky such as substituting a character in the page title and using jQuery to change it while keeping the page ...

Hi, welcome to the forums!

I would strongly advise you provide more information, as people are unlikely to be able to help with a vague query.

Can you tell us exactly what you are trying to achieve, the code you are using, and importantly, any errors you see in your browser developer tools when ...

There is a File Locksmith utility in the wonderful Microsoft Powertoys that will tell you what process is currently locking a file.

I would recommend that you clone the repo using Git Bash/Command Line into a folder in your Flare Projects folder, then open that copy of the project as a new project. This is how I do it.

Also, make sure you have Git for Windows installed, File > Options (bottom right) > Source Control leave all ...
