doloremipsum

Was this ever resolved? I'm having similar issues. This thread was the single google result for "Specified remote repository is already bound to."

In my experience, that particular error pops up when you try to push a Flare project to a repo that already has a project in it - there is only ...

Can you paste the HTML code of that paragraph in the topic? It looks like the last half of the line is inside the underline formatting from the xref.

When your cursor is inside an xref, often you have to press LEFT or RIGHT several times to 'escape' the formatting. This is because an xref tends to ...

doloremipsum

Ooh, I can see how that would cause a problem. The thead causes all the rows to be repeated on each new page in the PDF, so if the table was longer than a single page you'd get an endless repeat... I assume Flare cut the document off in self defence!

Glad I could help!

doloremipsum

This happens sometimes when there's one topic which the builder doesn't like for some reason. Try removing Topic 20 or 21 from the TOC and building to see if the whole thing is completed. If so, that's where your problem is.

I have a vague memory of a time this happened to me: I believe that the ...

@bleebs
Dumb question alert...Not a coder here, I understand the concept of adding the code to change the CSS but where do I add it?

Not a dumb question, you've got to start somewhere! Open your stylesheet file using any text editor (e.g. in Flare, right click and select Open With > Internal Text ...

doloremipsum

If you're on Flare 2020, you can also use the 'Find Elements' feature to search for that particular style class!

doloremipsum

You will want to look at the page layout: probably your body page layout has a header element with the offending text.

Golden rule of working with web browsers: Always clear your cache!

I imagine no, because a template is something you add when you create a topic. It gives you a starting point for adding your content - it doesn't really make sense to try and add a new template later after you've changed the original. Flare doesn't automatically know what to do with the new content ...

doloremipsum

Not sure what could be wrong, sorry - I replicated your setup in my own project and managed to get some hits. All I can say is that it works in concept.

doloremipsum

I think that you can't use the Find Elements search for this - you will have to use the Find Text search. As ChoccieMuffin said, you can search for <MadCap:variable name="MyVariableSet.MyVariable" /> with Find in Source Code enabled, and replace each instance of the variable with the required text ...

doloremipsum

I'm not certain about the volume number, although I have a feeling it's something to do with the option to produce multiple PDFs/word outputs when you generate output (based on chapter breaks in the TOC).

As for the lettered appendices, can you post the autonumber style you've set up for those ...

doloremipsum

Flare has always done that - it's a little unclear from how the text is phrased, but all of the files/directories in both lists are being ignored (some, like the Analyzer, for very good reason). The difference seems to be whether the .gitignore is placed in the lower panel or in the middle one, but ...

doloremipsum

So I had a similar issue and came up with a similar solution for a one-off import (it was more manual than yours but got the job done). I actually attempted to single-source it by creating a 'powerpoint' in Flare. Essentially I had one target that produced a monitor-sized/fullscreen PDF with only ...

doloremipsum

Similar to the <div> idea, I suspect that you could create specific topic <body> styles which include the desired icons. When you add a new topic, you can set the style class of the body tag to the appropriate region, or leave it as default if it is generic information.

doloremipsum

Various thoughts:
Check the padding settings as well as the margin settings on the li. Easiest way to see the behaviour is to add a 1px red border to the li, which will divide the padding and the margin. Not sure whether that will come through to Word output.
Check the margin and padding on the ul ...

doloremipsum

It sounds like you could do something clever with the Find/Replace here - you might need to use Wildcards, a Regular Expression or the new Elements feature to bulk find the bits you want. The trick here is that 'replacing' with an empty field just deletes the string that you found.

doloremipsum

Hi Ed, unfortunately the Flare integration with Git will only work if the repo contains a single Flare project. This caused a lot of issues for us when we were first getting the binding set up, so I would advise you not to attempt it.

You have two options: either to separate your Flare projects ...

doloremipsum

Looks like Flare has stalled out on you - it definitely should have shown some progress. Open the task manager and cut it off, then try again.

doloremipsum

My reading comprehension obviously wasn't great yesterday arvo! The problem was actually being caused by some unnecessary formatting I had on my table and td tags, which was overriding the styles on the codeSnippetBody tag for CSS inheritance reasons. I can either delete that table/td formatting, or ...

doloremipsum

Has anybody worked out how to style the text in a code snippet for PDF and Word output yet? It doesn't seem like I can affect the font family and size from the MadCap|codeSnippetBody for PDF output (although, oddly, I CAN affect the font weight).

From the look of the Word output the code snippet ...

doloremipsum

I had this problem with nested lists as well. This mostly happened when I configured the lists in a way that was not what Flare expected.

This will cause collapse:
<ul><li>Here is some text in a list item.
<ul><li>Here is the second level</li></ul>
</li></ul>

Whereas this is fine:
<ul><li><p ...

doloremipsum

Hmm, then I'm stumped. I think I understand why the Print Table of Contents would convert the topic link into a bookmark - the topic doesn't exist any more, so it needs to link to the point where the heading is. But I have no idea why the link itself is failing to jump you to the heading. What ...

doloremipsum

It probably has nothing to do with the label - the print table of contents doesn't actually care what the TOC label is (it uses the topic heading for the text). I think the problem is that the TOC Link itself is trying to link to a bookmark in the topic that doesn't exist, while you actually want it ...

doloremipsum

My general approach for this sort of thing is to use a variable for the topic TITLE (i.e. html <title> tags) rather than the heading. If you put a title variable in the footer of a PDF, the PDF will use the title of the first topic for every footer in the document.

Not sure how it works with ...
