Just write them as html in the masterpage, as long as your bodyProxy is in the right place, it'll all work!

AlexFox

Can you show us some examples? You may have better results with the following:

<li>text</li>
<pre>code in a box</pre>
<li style="list-style-type: none;">follow-up text</li>

It may be worth checking you don't have page-break-before: always set on whatever element heads up page 7.

I use mp4 videos in a <video><source> tag and they play in Chrome and IE.

If you change to Print Layout and Print medium in the XML editor and use the style inspector, this would probably tell you where it's inheriting its style from.

I'm not sure where the mobile media type comes from, I've never used it and I can't find it defined anywhere. You'll need to use media queries based on screen size for this, replace your @media mobile { with

@media only screen
and (min-device-width: 320px)
and (max-device-width: 480px ...

I guess in the <head> of your document you could temporarily put <style>body { background-image: none; }</style> ?

You'd need to remove this at build time though, but you may be able to tag it out in the target so you could leave it in place in the topic.

AlexFox

Can you show us the full media query you're using?

Also worth looking into Contributor, designed pretty much for this situation. You can set up a template in that so they don't need to worry about styles and everything will import straight into Flare.

Is there any particular reason you've structured your TOC in this way? Remember it's only the target that excludes or explicitly includes conditionally tagged items, tagging them in the TOC is just applying another level of conditional tagging. The solution is a separate target for each version of ...

No problem, glad you got it resolved!

I wouldn't suggest setting it on td, instead try something like pre-wrap.

I've not used these much before, so a little guesswork is going on here...

AlexFox

Try the following:

On your table selector:

Code: Select all

table-layout:fixed;

and on your th selector:

Code: Select all

white-space: nowrap;

AlexFox

You might try setting word-break: keep-all on your table or td?

AlexFox

Can I ask what you're trying to achieve? I don't believe its possible to associate a different master page to each topic at target level. You can do it from the topic properties, but I don't think this is what you're asking.

Take a look in 'UI Text' in the Skin editor

AlexFox

I'm not sure on the side menu proxy but as for the mini-TOC that you don't want, conditionally tag it out

AlexFox

This is a slightly similar solution to this post however with this solution you can edit the attributes of the watermark and not just the text.

AlexFox

Where X is the div ID of the search field. I don't believe Flare sets an ID on this field so you'd likely have to do it manually somewhere.

You could use this instead:
$(".search-field").focus();

(Instead of: document.getElementById("X").focus(); )

I'm so shabby with JS, thanks!

Hi all,

I've seen a few threads around adding watermarks easily to PDFs so I thought I'd share what I put together the other day. This is a watermark that you can enable/disable via conditional text and when enabled, you can change the caption, colour, font-size (whatever you like really) via ...

AlexFox

Likely something such as;

window.addEventListener("keydown",function (e) {
if (e.keyCode === 114 || (e.ctrlKey && e.keyCode === 70)) {
document.getElementById("X").focus();
}
})

Where X is the div ID of the search field. I don't believe Flare sets an ID on this field so you'd likely have to ...

AlexFox

Excellent detective work!

AlexFox

Can you show an example of this? I've just tested with a topic called Test.htm with a few junk paragraphs under an h1 "This is a topic title".

I dragged it in to a TOC and the title applied was "This is a topic title" and in the properties I had [%=System.LinkedTitle%].

It's worth noting that when ...

Doing anything like moving/deleting/renaming files outside of Flare will definitely break the file mappings, flare handles the files that are bound to source control in it's own workspace and performs many subtle checkins in the background when necessary. I'd forget the project you have in source ...

AlexFox

I personally prefer to utilise snippets as opposed to inline <MadCap:conditionalText>, it's more granular and makes it easier to reuse in the future. I actually tend to use inline conditional text more in things like PageLayouts for formatting purposes, such as a title page with a version number ...
