Of course I found the solution after posting.

I added scroll-behavior: smooth to the body-container instead of html.

body-container { scroll-behavior: smooth; }

Anyone figure out how to get smooth scrolling working when clicking a header in a menuProxy?

As it, clicking a menuProxy header 'jumps' directly to the heading rather than scrolling smoothly.

I added this to my CSS, to no avail. Is Flare overriding this somehow?

html { scroll-behavior: smooth ...

To clarify as I can't edit posts (request blocked!)...

The resultant URL would be: mysite.com/some-topic.html#my-heading rather than mysite.com/some-topic.html#MyHeading

I've put a menuProxy in a template, which lists all the h2-h6 headers in the topic.

This appears to add an id to each h2-h6 header, which is the anchor.

For example, for the h2 heading 'My Heading', the menuProxy adds the id 'MyHeading' to the related h2 element.

<h2 id="MyHeading">My Heading</h2 ...

Have you checked the PDF template?

Anyone hazard a guess about the Powerpoint export functionality? Wouldn't make my top 100 requested improvements.

New customer marketing ploy, similar to the 'Branding CSS' in the r1 release?

I haven't upgraded, but I do see this with certain type of XML code that Flare seemingly doesn't like.

The editor has lots of bad behavior, it desperately needs an update. Doesn't recognize Flex and CSS variables for example.

Looking for inspiration - what scripts are you using on your sites, and to achieve what functionality?

I convert the spaces into tabs, paste into the code snippet editor. The tabs disappear.

I may have to go back to hand-crafted snippets and no Copy button. (And raising a bug with MadCap.)



Did you ever get this addressed?

Flare is still converting tabs to spaces for me in code snippet output ...

Is Vimeo embedding still broken?

May simply be a bug, see this topic: viewtopic.php?p=147409

As a workaround you could add some kind of note saying not to include question marks (and other non-alphanumeric characters) in searches.

I have a custom column in a table style.

Regardless of what I set Cell Content Style > Tag and Class to (e.g. <p> and myClass), it reverts to <p> and table-text in the output.

Any ideas?

Troy, I've never considered this.

What are the specific use cases?

Bump-a-doodle-doo.

Anyone figure this out?

Anyone using anchor.js to automatically add anchor links to HTML output?

I've got it working, except the anchor text being generated is in #TitleCase.

Anyone figure out how to get it working so that it generates #kebab-case?

Trying to host a site on an Amazon s3 bucket, but having issues with what looks like various CSS not getting picked up, the side navigation bar not having any content (toc).

The site looks fine on a Windows Server host.

Any experience hosting on Amazon s3 that might explain this?

Thanks!

Hmmm.

I've never used it but the wbr CSS element might be useful?

Could avoid this issue by turning off hyphenation.

FontAwesome may be useful here.

So everyone knows that something should happen but we have no resources or stakeholder buy-in to drive the needed change ourselves. We - as in the Technical Writing team - have tried for 2+ years and want to work better, but it is difficult when daily tasks leave such little room for project work ...

I wish MadCap would just spend a year fixing this and the other quite major bugs and performance issues in their software.

It would be far more beneficial than some of the new features they've been releasing lately - both 2023 releases are particularly underwhelming.


Agreed. The AI and themes ...

That seems as reasonable an approach as any, this kind of thing is a bit of a pick your poison exercise.

If all 'preview tags' need removed before a final build you can do a search replace.

e.g. replace something like this with nothing

<MadCap:conditionalText MadCap:conditions="Docs.Preview ...
