Right click the image and choose one of the Text Wrap options "In Line with text", "Square", "Behind" or "In Front of". Once that's done you can right click the image and in Properties set any margin/padding you want for the image on all sides or just one or two.

Cheers,
Rob

I wonder if like other Proxies there are associated styles like p.MenuProxy1 thru 6? If so you could set p.MenuProxy1 to display:none;
Just a thought and I've not tested it, then it wouldn't affect the other TOCs in your project. But that would also assume that your menu proxy was always at the same ...

What do the auto-number settings in each parent level TOC entry look like? Is it possible you've got them all set to Reset to 1?
What do the auto-number formats look like in your css for each heading? If your headings use TOC level to determine heading level, it's possible that from the structure ...

Not that I can think of within Flare. The only option I can think of is to write an external script to do this.

I could imagine a bit of Python that reads TOCA, converts it to TOCB, which is then used by the target to build the document. You could then call the script as a pre-build event from a ...

There isn't really a way. The Text Editor view will automatically adjust the xml whenever you refresh the page view (open the file or switch between xml/text). When I want to do more serious text work with source files (or really need to understand a complicated page) I use an external text editor ...

The <H1 class="TOCHeading"> needs to go on the actual page, not in the page layout. My Contents page looks like this for example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<html xmlns:MadCap="http://www.madcapsoftware.com/Schemas/MadCap.xsd">
<head>
</head>
<body>
<h1 class="TOCHeading">
<MadCap ...

Right click the entry in the fltoc file and choose properties.
On the printed output tab change the Break Type to Chapter and set the appropriate page layout.
In the Page Number section, resest it to "A" with the format ALPHA. That should do the trick.

Cheers,
Rob

Absolutely you can. See https://help.madcapsoftware.com/flare2021r2/Content/Flare/Glossaries/Other-Activities/Editing-Look-Glossary.htm for some information.

The div.GlossaryPageTerm style changes the glossary term and div.GlossaryPageDefinition the definition for the term. Make sure you make ...

I don't know a straighforward way to do it. Though I do import data regularly into Flare documents from Excel using external scripts. Python is my scripting language of choice and it can be used to grab data from spreadsheets, reformat into HTML and create an HTML file ready for use. There are ...

I'm not sure about the Flare command line, but you could probably query the Madcap Licence registry key to determine its presence using the command line.
For me the keys are in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MadCap Software\Flare\License. When unlicensed, the relevant version key is empty. The tricky ...

Hi Jeffrey,

Can you insert a Contents topic in your project and put a TOC proxy in that topic? I've always found that a more definitive way of locating the TOC in the structure.

Phew 4000 pages!

Since it builds to HTML, and assuming the content for both targets is the same, is there some difference in TOC depth between online and PDF that might point to the issue? A heading being captured by PDF TOC that isn't by HTML TOC?
My next guess would be it's a layout issue. Flare ...

Hi Muralisk,

Your css as written works for me on a minimal project. The {n} variable outputs the existing level of heading and {n+} increments a new heading level number.
Some things to check:
Are there any other autonumber formats in your CSS that may be affecting the output?
Are there auto ...

Hi,

No, MiniTOC spacing shouldn't be any different to the TOC spacing. The CSS should work in the same way. Just remember that you need a set of p.MiniTOCn styles to match the p.TOCn styles.

For example, if my heading styles are:
h1
{
mc-heading-level: 1;
mc-auto-number-format: 'CH:{chapnum ...

robdocsmith

If I understand you correctly, here's what I would do:

1. Do not use manual numbering.
2. Set up a condition for each client and apply conditions on the TOC entries where appropriate - this will turn on and off items in the TOC according to each target
3. Configure a target for each client that ...

robdocsmith

Yes you can. In the Page Layout Editor, right click the frame and choose Rotate. The contents will rotate with the frame. This is true for Decoration, Header, Footer and normal Body frames.

Cheers,

Rob

I suspect the style has been added to the print medium and not the HTML5 one. Verify that when you are changing styles you change them for all appropriate mediums.

As a side note, I do something similar in my docs, but use a class of paragraph to achieve the side bar - this way I don't need to ...

robdocsmith

Ahh my apologies.

In your case, your last line should be:

<p style="font-size: 10pt;font-family: Calibri;font-weight: normal;text-align: right;">Page: <MadCap:variable name="System.PageNumber" style="font-size: 10pt;" /> of <MadCap:variable name="System.PageCount" style="font-size: 10pt;" /></p ...

robdocsmith

The System.PageCount variable will give you a total page count for the document. I use:

<xhtml:p xhtml:class="footer"><MadCap:variable xhtml:name="System.PageNumber" /> of <MadCap:variable xhtml:name="System.PageCount" /></xhtml:p>

in my Footer frame of the page layout.

See https://help ...

I think there's an easier way to do this, if you allow each list element to include a paragraph by default. If your list looks like:

<ol>
<li>
<p>Text for step 1</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Text for step 2</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Text for step 3</p>
</li>
</ol>

You can style the list as follows:

Hi,

I think as far as background images go, you are stuck with the default settings in the Page Properties dialog (https://help.madcapsoftware.com/flare2021/Content/Flare/Page-Layouts/Pages/Specifying-Page-Background-Settings.htm). To repeat or not, and position (left, right, center) etc. These are ...

Well, I've not worried about lining up the headings at a particular indent before, but I can see how that would be advantageous, particularly in a TOC. I saw that spaces in the number-format became hard spaces and that was good enough for my purposes. The width of the gap varied proportionately with ...

robdocsmith

Hi,

Autonumbering formats are specified usually in the heading style in a property like the below:
mc-auto-number-format: 'GH:{n}.{n+} ';
The spacing is set in the autonumber string. Spaces in this string don't collapse into a single space like they do in normal html, so you could change the ...

robdocsmith

If you want a quick and dirty grab of the content (snippets excluded), you could just drag the .htm content file into a browser. You'll be able to copy/paste the images from there, but snippets won't be recognised and displayed in your browser.

If you've previously generated a target from the files ...

Many ways to skin this cat...
I've used tables with left/right/centre aligned content as appropriate, or DIVS with float left/right positioned content.
I've even used a spacing graphic to push stuff around where I wanted it to go (not an ideal solution by any means!)

Whatever works for you and is ...
