Re: Synchronize navigation elements with TOC entries not working as I expect

It's happening in the mini toc.
I have two sets of documents - one for the current version of the software and one for the previous version of the software. Sometimes, when I click on the link in the toc for the current version, it opens the link for the topic in the previous version and that the ...

Synchronize navigation elements with TOC entries not working as I expect

I have selected Synchronize navigation elements with TOC entries for my HTML output, because I need to have links to the same topic from several places in the TOC.
However, I have found that the links still go to the first listed location rather than following the TOC entries.
Have I missed ...

Can I put a hyperlink to a website in the header for a Top navigation skin?

My html output is accessed from a separate knowledge base site. I have been asked to add a link back to the knowledge base from all the html pages. I thought it would look best to do this by having a hyperlink back to the knowledge base as an option in the top navigation menu.

Is this possible? If ...

Re: Images not appearing in PDF

I seem to have solved my problem.

I'm not sure why it helped, but I saved the image as a png rather than a jpg, and it's there now. I guess it could have been an image size problem, as the png is much smaller, but weird that it was ok for other targets.

Thanks, but I thought of that. That's why I tried converting the snippet to text.

Re: Images not appearing in PDF

I am also having this issue and I have tried all the solutions suggested but nothing has worked.

There are a few things that I think differ from previous posts:
1. The image is in a snippet file and it does appear in other pdfs that use this snippet.
2. I have converted the snippet to text in the ...

Is it possible to set a div to always contain a particular paragraph style?

I have divs set up for Notes, Examples and Warnings. These always start with a paragraph styles with coloured text for Note, Example and Warning.
To save me having to do it manually every time, is there a way to set up the style in the stylesheet so when I add the div it already contains the <p> for ...

aspx output no longer works in SharePoint, is there an alternative?

I currently share the html output as aspx on SharePoint. This has stopped working with new uploads and a bit of googling revealed that Microsoft are removing support for aspx from new libraries. So content I have added previously still works, but uploading new files doesn't. Clicking on the aspx ...

Losing spaces between sentences

If I don't open a topic for a while (several months or so), I often find that when I come to look at it all the spaces between sentences have gone. Is this a known issue?
Apart from making sure I regularly open all the topics in my project, is there a way to stop this happening?

Re: Is it possible to link to a web-based video that is not YouTube or Vimeo?

Thanks for the information.
Does this only work if you add the <video> tag with the URL to the generated output HTML?
I get an Invalid message if I add the <video> tag in the Flare topic.

Is it possible to link to a web-based video that is not YouTube or Vimeo?

Wondered if anyone has tried this or found a workaround. Flare help says that "You can only add YouTube and Vimeo files from the web". We'd like to save instructions on a separate company-controlled website and have users open them from the Flare HTML output. Is this possible? If so, how would I do ...

I have to use a new logo file in my HTML output. I am using the TopNav option.
I have changed it in the skin but it is still displaying the old logo in the preview and the generated output.
If I right-click the logo in the html output and select inspect, the right file name is shown.
