Just thought I'd chime in as I know how frustrating it can be trying to get TFS to behave. FWIW under my configuration we use on-premise TFS and Active Directory so Flare never really asks for credentials as it pulls them from Windows/AD.

Does Flare refuse to connect to TFS for the purposes of ...

So I use a combination of approaches for FontAwesome to work.

I have the fonts installed on my system for print output. I also have the webfonts hosted with my documentation so I can reference them via font-face and use them in pseudo elements etc. I also have the JS method configured so I can use ...

Welcome to the forums!

Can you try the following and see if it works for you?

Code: Select all

img.Thumbnail
{
	max-width: 500px;
	mc-thumbnail: popup;
	mc-thumbnail-max-width: 500px;
	mc-thumbnail-max-height: auto;
	mc-popup-height: auto;
	mc-popup-width: 100vw;
}

Conditioning a stylesheet out of the build process seems a little overkill. Is there any reason you can't put something like the following as your snippet content?
<div class="snippet-flagged" MadCap:conditions="Snippet.Flagged" MadCap:excludeAction="unbind">
SNIPPET CONTENT
</div>

In this ...

So I'm fairly sure you can use the following regexp query to achieve what you're after:
([:;]{1})\s([^;:/>\s]+)

I'll explain it for anyone who is interested, as I remember a time when regexp was like an alien language to me!

The first [:;] says "either a semicolon or colon" the {1} indicates ...

I've never used any translation functionality in Flare, but I've ventured a little into regexp before. If you can post a few complete strings (complete with offending spaces) in this thread I can take a stab at a statement for you at some point this week.

You'll likely have "Generate glossary proxy" checked in the target. Clear this and at the exact point you'd like the glossary to appear, use Insert > Proxy > Glossary Proxy (in xml view).

AlexFox

Is there any reason you want to use a table for this? I wouldn't say its an ideal solution. You'd be much better off using realistically any other sort of tag, you could make this with one <p> block if you so desired..

I believe Require is bundled with Flare as most things conflict with Flare's foundational JS if not consumed by Require instead. But good luck!

You could make use of the repeat last action shortcut which is F8, in the XML viewer, if you highlight the first word and use the style changer, then highlight any subsequent words you wish to change and press F8, Flare will make the same change that was just made. Not a perfect solution, but a time ...

You could try building a HTML5 target using your print medium, to be able to properly inspect what's going on.

Hi Bob, if you inspect a page that should have syntax highlighting, do you have any JavaScript errors? Can you see a reference to prism.js and prism.css in the <head> of the document?

Is Auto Suggestion enabled on the machines that have the laggy behaviour?

You don't need to delete anything to override the image, just select your replacement image from your file. Edit: Read Dave's solution below

It's embedded in the skin, you'll need to add your own image in the skin editor.

I use Flare 2018 for source control and it works very well in most cases. The only issues I've ever encountered were trying to add several new images into Flare and the adding them to source control. I tend to upload them directly into TFS via browser and get latest all to use them in my Flare ...

in HTML, & signifies the start of a character reference so your URL is making Flare think it needs to parse &market=en-US into a character, which obviously it cannot as there is no character reference of that name.

You'll need to use the character reference for & which is &

Hi all,

I'm after some help consistently generating a back cover for PDF output. I have an 'empty' page defined in the relevant PageLayout with a few decoration frames (no header, body or footer frames) and in the relevant TOCs, I add a topic (Back.htm) set as an empty page in the TOC properties ...

Hi Wendy,

I use TFS for source control for a team of two authors. My current setup works well so it's worth sharing. First and foremost I don't use any branching whatsoever. I don't see that it offers any benefits for authoring and using it just because developers do seems a little odd to me. I ...

AlexFox

Lovely bit of code, thanks for sharing

Did you get any further with this problem @Joanc?

The method I posted earlier is targeting the class that madcap converts variables to at build time, hence you wouldn't see it in the XML viewer as the class wouldn't exist yet. I see no reason why you couldn't create a snippet that simply contains the product name variable formatted as you like ...

Slightly different than what I was getting at, but if you've solved your problem then great

Hi :)

You don't need the media="screen" attribute and the type="text/css" is the only supported attribute at the moment (and therefore the default) so leave that out as well. This should work fine, there are some caveats to using style info in header elements in Flare which means it's always ...
