Re: Variables in PDFs - how they look
Without testing I'd suggest this is just one of those CSS things that gets lost in translation when building a PDF. I'd personally set a class of .VariablesetVariable name rather than MadCap|Variable.customclass if you know it's always going to be the product variable you want to colour purple. You ...

Re: Working with Images
Can you show me the code for the coloured element? If you'd prefer this to avoid the picture you can tell it to clear: right; which will make it float past any element that is floated to the right, although I suspect you just want the background-color to occupy the same space as the content.

Re: Need a clue regarding search
Search results take weighting into account, so a h1 will have a higher value and will appear higher in the list than a h2, h3 etc. or a p block, however I believe multiple references will outweigh a single h1 which is likely why your results are getting 'buried'. I could ramble on but it's best to ...

Re: Snippets vs Variables - Best Practices?
That's just a custom class called "URL" for variables. Presumably it's just used to style plain text variables as a clickable URL would be.CoolLime wrote:I learned something here. But then what is MadCap|variable.URL then?

You could use a variable as a link if desired:

Re: Is local TFS workspace needed with server TFS workspace?
I can't realistically see any use for a local workspace with Flare. Local workspaces are generally for testing code in isolation before merging up all of your changes and they present limitations that you don't have when working directly in the server workspace.

Re: Adding Feedback widget to topics
Thanks for the super prompt reply Dave, I inspected the page you linked earlier in the thread and amended my ga event to use ga("gtag_UA_XXXXXXX_X.send" ... and this seems to work fine, in that I now actually have events appearing in my analytics!
Thanks again

Re: Keep text together
As far as the TM goes, you'd place that outside of the variable, i.e. [%=Variables.Product%]<sup>TM</sup>. I'm at a lost as to why you're having this problem, just ensure you're doing something along the lines of the following:
<span class="nowrap">[%=Variables.Product%]<sup>TM</sup>.</span>
<span class="nowrap">[%=Variables.Product%]<sup>TM</sup>.</span>

Re: Keep text together
You can insert a Variable inline by using [%=Variableset.Variablename%] - you can use this in a span class with whatever formatting you need. Give that a try in conjunction with your white-space fix and see how that works out.

Re: hreflang
Seems I gave you duff advice and Flare enforces these tags beginning with "<meta", sorry about that.
MasterPages will work fine for this, especially if you always have a Spanish (for example) equivalent page. You could get a little clever with the href link and some variables if you wanted to, but ...

Do you have one target per language? If so I'd use the meta tags option in the target itself.

Re: Add Custom Headers and Footers
No, you don't need to define a class for it to be declared. Your problem is likely that Flare is looking for a closing '/' in some elements. For example:
<link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
is acceptable HTML but flare insists on the following:
<link href="styles.css" rel ...

Re: Updating to TeamFoundation 2018
I believe the 'proper' place to do this would be Project > Project Properties > Source Control, but AFAIK, all this actually does is edit the .flproj file as you've already done. The proof of the pudding is in the eating as they say and if your method works, then I guess you're good to go!
