Actually I think that there should be a checkmark in the target (or the topic properties) specifying that the TOC titles should automatically synchronize with the h1 headings in the topics.
I understand that some need to have the two things separated, but in all our cases we want to have the same ...

Then it ask me for some Oracle login?

Can someone please some links to the correct Java download.

More about the error code, or ERRORLEVEL.

Now in MadCap Flare v11 you have the Batch Target feature. How does the %ERRORLEVEL% act in this situation?

I, and probably also others, just want an indication if there are any errors or not. In larger project it is very difficult to avoid getting
a ton ...

Why is TMX files imported to a new db format in Lingo.

I thought that one of the "standards" in translation were the TMX format.
This now prevents me for sharing the same TMX file in both Lingo and fx. Multilizer.

My first impression of MadCap Lingo on Windows 8.1 is that it handles high DPI settings very poorly.
I think that it is a general problem with the MadCap products.

Have send bug report.

-cpede

I'm also new to Lingo, but now have some experience with Flare over the recent years.

My problem is that every time MadCap is talking about translations they always refer to professional translation services (who of cause knows everything about translations, XLIFF file formats, translation memory ...

Well, what we want to write on such a page, is to inform the user that this is an error, and what the user should do in this situation, when the help is not found. This could be to contact someone via mail or phone etc.

Basically the same as HTTP 400 errors, here the pages could apologize and write ...

Yes, you are right. The second case can be handled by redirecting the links.
It is just all the unforeseen cases, where the topic cannot be found, where it would be nice to have a default "unknown topic" page.

Glad you think that it is a nice feature for a future version of MadCap Flare HTML Help.

The problem is, that we make Online Web Help, which uses context sensitive links from our software.
If a developer type in a wrong topics id in the software, the help of cause does not recognize it. Or,
if we ...

Hi,

Is it possible to specify special error pages on invalid topic IDs?

Imagine that you online HTML5 help has changed between software versions, and one of you context
sensitive links refer to a topic, that has been removed. Now the help will default to the defined start
page. This is typically ...

This would be an awesome feature for making demos, guides etc.
Actually this is why we don't use Mimic anymore.

The problem is, that I want the HTML5 Help to look the same as our web page. This will require that I can center the HTML5 help on the page,make it e.g. 80% wide, add a page background etc. Therefore it would be logical for me to have an overall master page that controlled where on the page to put ...

I believe, that the Master Page on the Advanced tab is a Master Page for the Topic contents.
E.g. if I'm trying to set a footer to the Master Page this will be included in all the topic contents, but not for the entire HTML5 page.

-cpede

It would be nice to be able to change the master page of the entire HTML5 page. Currently the master page works on the topic,
but if I want to generate a border, padding, alignment etc, to the entire HTML5 page it is not possible, as far as I can see.

-cpede

It would be very nice to be able to have either the topic (alias) id or the full path (including sub-folders) to the topic, as a system variable.

I need to have the full direct topic link on the HTML page itself.

Well, the hh.dat file contains cashed information about the HTML Help sessions you have run, including the window positions etc.
I believe that during trial and error testing of the HTML Help these informaion is somehow being corrupted.

Anyway, locating he hh.dat file (on my Windows Vista PC: C ...

Hmmm. just found the correct "hh.dat" file, and deleted it. Now things seems to work.

Sorry.

I'm using skins in HTML Help from my C++ application.
I can't get the skin and window position to work at all. In earlier programs I could write:

MyHelpfile.chm>MySkin

through the

::HtmlHelp method

and the help would use the window size defined in the skin. I can't get this to worrk in ...

I experienced a funny thing with using variables.

I created a variable "V1" and then later changed the definition in the target.
Then I changed the name of the variable to "V2". Going to the target and changed the definition again.

Now, it seems that the target remembers the old name of the ...

We use Variables formatted as a value like _#doc#_ , and then we use an external automatic build tool to replace the
text _#doc#_ is the variables xml file.

This is of cause not optimal, but it works. Other ideas or suggestions?

I just tested in v7, and it still doesn't work.

Come on guys, please spend the 2 hours installing the SourceGear Vault client, and debug your software, and correct the errors.

First of all I am very pleased to see that you have support for equations from inside Flare 7. This is great and will help me a great deal
promoting this tool to my technical writers. However there are some problems.

* First of all the build in component from MathFlow is too long to open. I have ...

Yes. you are of cause right. With Reg.Exp.you can do almost anything. It is however difficult to write a complex search string
using Reg.Exp. since the syntax is rather complicated.

My point was, that since what we want to change is always something in XHTML some clever developer could maybe invent ...

Please change the behavior of the Home and End keys to go to the start and end of line in the editor.

As it is now, it goes to the beginning and end of a paragraph. Although I understand the behavior
it is NOT standard, and slow down work considerably.
