How do I stop Flare adding extraneous text "on page xxx" and "on the next page" to links in PDF output?

Hi Laura, can you put up a few screenshots to describe what it is you're doing / have done? Don't quite understand the goal.

Bump.

Looks like this has been requested a number of times.

It would be a significant quality-of-life improvement to just select the word when double-clicking. Any word on whether this was considered and accepted/rejected by MadCap?

Flare does have a feature that lets you set what style will be next when you press enter: https://help.madcapsoftware.com/flare2022/Content/Flare/Styles/Other-Features-Activities/Regular-Stylesheets/Styles/Setting-Next-Style.htm . It seems you'd have to set it on every block element in your ...

It looks like your project indeed contains content imported from a different system. I recently had the same situation - a project full of p_1, p_2, span_1, etc, after an import from RoboHelp.

Oh dear lord that's explains a lot and reestablishes some lost sanity, thank you!

Stumbled across a strange one...

Searching for found in my HTML5 output returns no results, despite the word being in numerous places.

Happening for anyone else?

Is there a way to set the default style in the Flare editor? That is, the style that's defaulted to every time you press Enter to take a new line, namely <p>.

I have taken over a large project where a custom class is used for all main paragraph content, such that the XML tagging is <p class="p_1 ...

Absolutely wild, great finds and info-sharing.

Can Flare search strings be altered before they are run? Just thinking you could have a script that searches the search string for can and not, and rejigs the search string so that it works as expected.

e.g. can not log in -> "can not" log in

How do I make frame backgrounds transparent on page layout title pages?

A white background appears in the PDF output no matter what I've tried in the frame properties background settings. I do not want a white background, only the text.

(I've set the purple/red background in Page Properties ...

I doubt there's any neat way to do this in Flare.

We created a non-Flare script to do this, a 'term checker' that we'd run as part of our review process. Which would be "scan the Flare source files for these forbidden words" from your OP. The technical writers could run this script too.

Using this ...

On further investigation, that only works as long as there are no breadcrumbs.

The problem persists when loading any page with breadcrumbs.

A fair bit of troubleshooting later I've identified the build-generated Topic.css skin stylesheet in the Output > .. > Skins > Default > Stylesheets folder as the culprit.

Specifically, the height-container style therein.

.height-container

/* just to contain top margin of element inside ...

In a tri-pane output, clicking a topic in the side menu loads the content in the main window, but always with a fast jerking motion when loading.

This happens in every project, even a default Flare project, in every browser.

It looks awful, any idea how to prevent it?

On a related note, I can only get the title to appear if Target > Advanced > Content to include is set to All content .

If set to Content linked directly or indirectly from the target , Flare doesn't pull it in to the built output. It presumably isn't clever enough to scan Skin > Toolbar > Custom ...

Update, I fixed this by adding the following css to the end of skin.css:
I don't know if this will break anything else though.

Thread necro...

It worked for tri-pane help, but when the browser width is shrunk to mobile/tablet width, the custom text disappears. I'd be grateful for suggestions on making the custom text behave like the default logo, that is to display across all three views.

I've written some instructions ...
