Sorry, I can't help with this, but just wanted to say that this is driving me insane (well, more than I am already!)
From what I have experienced, it is more likely to happen if the branches being merged are a long way out of sync... but until I get to a fixed known point (usually a release) I don't ...

Not experienced your exact problem, but I know that my Flare 2019 crashes maybe 3-4 times a week, and 9 out of 10 of those crashes are git-integration related...

Hi, all,
I'm having an issue with my Flare 2019 HTML5 output... the capitalization is different between some of my source and the output files.

When I check all my files locally, as they are on a Windows10 machine, this is not a problem - everything works as expected.

However, after publishing ...

Hi, all,
In my Flare 2019 TopNav project, I have Previous and Next buttons defined in a TopicToolBar skin, which is inserted in each topic via the masterpage.

When I build my project locally and then view from Chrome, these buttons do exactly what I want for every topic (except 2, but that is ...

JRtechw,
Sounds interesting...
I didn't see it mentioned in your post, but what "three stop words" did you add that stripped lots of your junk results? (If they worked so well for you, they might work equally well for others...)
Thanks

Hi, all,
I have a Flare HTML5/TopNav doc portal, and I'm trying to improve the search results by adding keywords and making sure industry terms are used in the text etc.
(I'm using the Search term feedback from Google Analytics to see what terms customers are searching for!)

However, one search ...

Many thanks, ChoccieMuffin, that has certainly helped! (The <p> tags are now restrained within the column!)

Still can't get the table widths to play nice, but it is a big improvement!

Hi, all,
I'm successfully generating some HTML5 Top Nav output, and on-screen, all appears just how I want it.

Issue 1
However, if I open a topic with tables, and then use the MadCap Print button to print, the tables in the printed output seem to disobey all width-related styling!

In my stylesheet ...

Hi, Chris,
Yes, I have a separate search results topic that uses the search results proxy.

My issue is that when I'm using the HTML5 output, all my pages are consistently using the header I set up in my HTML5 - Top Nav skin except for the search results page.

(Although it is similar, when I first ...

SOLVED!
The following syntax works:

{
background-color: rgba(255, 245, 238, 0.5);
}

Hi,
In my HTML5 TopNav output, when you carry out a search, the search results page has a different header to the rest of the site. (It uses a different logo - most likely the very first one I used when "learning" Flare, and has a different height than the header on all other pages.)

Any ...

Hi, all,
Having handed my HTML5 Top Nav docs portal to my QA team, they took a look at it from several platforms...

One item of weirdness they noticed is that the default toolbar "Previous topic/Next topic" buttons do not work from Ubuntu/Chrome, but on Windows, they do exactly what they should ...

Hi, atomdocs,
I've checked in the output, and as far are I can tell, Flare seems to ignore RGBa... (well, at least, I've not found a way of making it understand them yet!)
Thanks

Hi,

I'm trying to use RGBa to give me a "semi-transparent" background that does not also impact the child elements (ie. I want a faded background, WITHOUT fading the text on top of it)

I can use RGB to specify solid colors in my stylesheet:
{background: rgb(255 250 240);}
This works as I'd ...

Hi,
I'm creating an HTML5 Top-Nav based doc portal. Most of my content will be small articles and the search bar in the title area works as I want.

However...

I am also including an API Reference guide that is visually very different (three vertical columns - TOC (left), Content (middle), and ...

Hi, I've set up a very simple project with the HTML5 Top Nav output.

I have found a method that "hopefully" anchors the footer to beneath the text (Footer only shows on the home page). This method is based around the info from https://matthewjamestaylor.com/bottom-footer .

When I test the mobile ...

You can also set the max-width of the header in the skin. Is that what you are looking for?
It was the "max-width" setting in the header area of the skin that I had been playing with.
However, for some reason, it was set to <xx>ems... and I was seeing differences in header widths between the home ...

I put the analytics code in a snippet, then put that in the body of the master page(s). I can confirm analytics="" works in this arrangement.

As I have now managed to get GA working on my doc portal (portal currently restricted to only work from behind the company servers, due to "release" it ...

many people encounter issues with async vs async="" because of the strictness of XHTML.

From my experiences, it also seems strange that the level of strictness varies depending on where you use the code...
If you use async="" , it seems to work in topics, but not in master pages (master pages ...

OK, its time for another "stoopid Newbie question..."

I am working on a HTML5 portal based off the top nav designs.

When I build the help, the content pages are narrower than the home page... If I go into the HTML5 - Top Navigation skin, right at the top there is the Global|Main Page|Size|Maximum ...

OK, I've managed to solve it!

Its all to do with the strictness of how Flare checks the javascript. Flare sees "<script async src...> as invalid.

If I change this to "<script async ="" src...> the individual topics see it as OK, but the master pages still don't understand it.

Edit that line to ...

Hi, all,
I'm trying to add google analytics to my Flare HTML5 TopNav output. (I'm using Flare 2019, btw)

Having read the Google Analytics info, and also from reading these forums, the recommendation is to put the Google tracking code in the Master Pages, in the Header section (Google say it should ...

Many thanks, Loryn, another leap forward for my project and my own learning!

A follow-on question - in my responsive output, this works fine on "web medium" and "tablet medium" outputs - but as soon as I get to "mobile medium" sizes, the toolbar vanishes - but the breadcrumbs stay put as I want!

I ...

On a related issue, with the topicToolbarProxy added into the bodyContent area, the scrollbar jumps to the left of the bodyContent area by the width of the topicToolBarProxy - another reason for trying to get a toolbar outside of the topic area...
I understand that the Tripane layout has both a ...

Hi,
New to Flare, so please be gentle!
In my HTML5 - TopNav output, I want the breadcrumb proxy to appear at the top left of my content div, with the topic toolbar proxy to alight top right. I then want the body proxy to appear beneath the first two proxies...
I can get the breadcrumbs in the right ...
