Hello.
I am trying to make my dropdowns open expanded, and I tried the method using Matt's script, but sadly this isn't working for me. All of my dropdowns start with "How to ...", so I changed the script to look for this in the hotspot.
These are old posts, so I am wondering if there is an easier ...

Most of my images are smaller than 670px in width, which is what I've set for the max-width property.

I am not really sure what you mean by simple multiple vs fraction. For example, one says 400 x 229 when I hover over it.

Thanks, guys.

So my images are set to a max-width of 670px and a max-height of auto.

For A4, my page layout's body frame is set to a width of 674px. For letter, my page layout is set to 624px, so the body frame is actually larger now. I would think if anything this would help my images look ...

Hello,

I am converting all of my PDFs over to A4. I previously used letter size.

I've set up my page layouts which look great, however, every image within my topics is blurred when I apply the new page layout to the target. If I change it back to letter, the images are fine. All images are PNGs. I ...

Thanks, guys!

Kaizen looks interesting. Msander, unfortunately all I can see is a PNG and the other link is broken.

Hello,

Apologies if this is an obvious one, but I am stuck. I am importing an OpenAPI HTML file into my project, which the engineers automatically generate for our API. I am told there is a setting that will enable me to create multiple topics when importing this file, but I can't figure out where ...

My apologies, but I am extremely confused as to how to manage my projects in Flare using Git. I have been using Flare for years, but never with source control. And I didn't find Flare's Source Control User Guide to be very helpful. :(

I am the sole technical author at the moment. I need to ensure ...

Thank you all for your feedback.

As we are a startup, we do not have many image assets at the moment. Just the ones on our website, which do not suit the help system I want to build. I will work with Marketing on this, as it makes a lot of sense to have everything branded similarly.

Hi guys,

I am getting a similar error: CSS Parser: C:\Users\Keri\Documents\My Projects\Jazz\Content\API Developer Guide\Methods\Paths.html Line: 320. Char: 16. Bad token in selector: &

What I am trying to do right now is use an imported HTML file of our API spec (generated from Swagger), and ...

I am using the top navigation skin for my company's help center home page and I am struggling to find a good graphic to include in the background. I am curious to know how other Flare users chose to design their home page, and if they used graphics, if they chose graphics that relate to their ...

Flare Support told me that they thought it was a connection issue... They suggested I create a new repository on Git and bind my project (or a test project) to that. I did this a few weeks ago, and so far so good, but I wouldn't be surprised if I start seeing this issue again.

I have also experienced this a number of times and have reported it. I haven't been told about a solution yet.

Thanks, ChoccieMuffin. That seems to be the only way to get it working as I need it to.

That unfortunately isn't working in this case. It does within paragraphs, but not tables.

Hi,

I am trying to create a checklist to be used to deploy our software in PDF/HTML5 formats. I created a table where I list one task per row, and I'd like the numbered list to continue numbering across each row. I created the class ol.TableBullet and applied it, but it is restarting at 1 in each ...

Yes, oddly enough, sometimes the class will display, sometimes it won't.

But that is an alternative if I need it.

Thank you.

Hello,

I am using the pre class to format code blocks and would like to create another class that behaves the same, but has a black background and white text instead of a grey background with black text (to format command line content). I tried adding a class from the pre class called pre ...

Yes, I do look at the CSS in both the Stylesheet Editor and the Internal Text Editor. Everything looks as it should at the moment and is working fine now.

OK, there seems to be a bug there. It wasn't until I removed the image from my topic and then inserted it again and applied the thumbnail class that it displayed as defined in my CSS. At least it is working now.

For anyone else who experiences this, MadCap Support said this is a known issue that will be addressed.

Thanks, Trent.

Rather than use one CSS for print and online content, I have one for each at the moment. This is just because my manager originally said he wasn't bothered about print targets, so I created my project using the online template and updated the CSS as such.

My Word and PDF targets ...

Hello,

I've applied the img.Thumbnail class to my larger images throughout my project. They looks great in my HTML5 target, but I'd like the images to display at their expanded size in Word and PDF targets. I've set my img.Thumbnail class Thumbnail property to None, but the images are still being ...

Hello,

Do you know if this has been addressed? I am having this issue right now.

Hi guys,

Can someone tell me what I need to do to get a menu item to stay displayed when you hover over a menu item at a lower level? If you see my screenshot, you will see the the first item in the menu disappears when the cursor is placed over the "World Map view". I'd like it to stay displayed ...

Thanks, guys. This helps a bunch.

I did try changing the scaling on my laptop to 200% and 300% and still have blurry images, which are nice and crisp on my large monitor.
