Can someone please give me some input?

Try using these autonumbering rules: https://gist.github.com/AlexJFox/96787d ... 1ccb5843dc

I set the "page-break-before: always;" for an H1 style, but get not only a page break, but a blank page before every H1.

Why is that?


Honestly it could be many things. I'd suggest looking at any setting you might have at target level to inject empty pages (Advanced tab) and any settings at TOC ...

You can use a CSS rule:

Seems like an obvious question, but how wide is the header frame? If it's clearly wide enough for the variable, then is there any other content in the frame, or is the variable in another container such as a div with a fixed width?

A GitHub tool can diagnose issues with Flare?

No I meant paste your code into a gist so we can read it, but it seems you've fixed the problem?

Perhaps paste it into a Github gist?

You can explicitly set the skin you want a topic to open in from the TOC. Right click on the entry > Properties > Advanced > Open in Skin

You should probably share the markup (code) and any CSS rules you have if you want people to diagnose the issue

Are your SMEs making any changes? I notice that Flare will insert span tags when it finds a need to for example when applying formatting or conditional text to text strings inside an element.

Yes you can use Central to host the output of HTML5 targets as help systems, is this what you are asking?

You can freely swap seats out between people, thankfully.

Search seems to work ok, are you searching for any special characters etc.?

Yes I was complaining about the edit issue yesterday, maybe it's something to do with our name?! (joking).

If you don't mind using a post-build event and a script, there's a fix I posted here: viewtopic.php?t=34751

Please read the whole thread as the first post has some debug code left in by mistake (forums won't let me edit).

IMPORTANT I left some debug code in the above example. I can't edit the post because these Forums are awful, I apologise, use the revised code below for the PS script, all other steps are the same:


[code]
# Define the directory path as an argument or hard-code it if needed
param (
[string ...

As the title suggests, this PowerShell script will search for whitespace in code snippets and remove them.

Specifically, it looks for <code> blocks inside <div class="codeSnippetBody"> blocks and removes any instances of &#160; or &nbsp;

Disclaimers:

This is combination of my remedial PS ...

You can only configure one SSO tenant through Central, which would 99.9% of the time be your organisation. This allows people to automatically be provisioned as viewers when they access Central and it's the only real way to protect your documentation due to the nature of Flare's output and how HTTP ...

I have played around with it and it's alright . It seems to do odd things with the Print CSS compared to PDF outputs but I haven't had much time to dig deeper. I did notice that inline images i.e. icons in text are not positioned well in the final output. I would have much preferred a release ...

This is a simple post build task that will fix Flare replacing commas in certain CSS selectors with Unicode, breaking the CSS.


set filePath="$(OutputDirectory)\resources\stylesheets\styles.css"
powershell -Command "(Get-Content '%filePath%') -replace '\\00002C\\000020', ', ' | Set-Content ...

I reported this as a bug for the :has selector back in May, but yes as NorthEast says please report it also.

Long answer short, any hyperlink management between GPL projects requires some manual intervention and a good understanding of how the output is generated, so apply caution when deciding to pursue this route.

I think you will need to first be specific in your question

If you can include screenshots perhaps of your page layout and then output generated it might be more useful, but generally for issues like this it is better to ask MadCap official support and send your project files to them.

You could generate a report for 'Used Images' under Project Organizer - Reports?

There are quite a few JavaScript libraries available that provide search on the client/in memory, but I'd suspect they all require at least an intermediate understanding of JS to be able to include them in your project.

https://github.com/nextapps-de/flexsearch looks promising, if you have either ...

ElasticSearch with Flare has lengthy prerequisites that make it unsuitable for your use case.

Seems like MadCap search is your only option here I'm afraid!
