MadCap Software Forums

Yes, SMEs and other users will now require a Contributor license. New features and functionality have been added to Contributor, making it much more than a simple review tool. As a result, there is no longer a free Review component.

So is the free Review edition (of Contributor) retained? Or will ...

I don't have any problem using a blockquote with tables and also made some classes from it to use different indentations.
It works only good if you first select the blockquote and then create your table.

Quite a while I have the following problem in the XML Editor. However, it is irritating me more and more.
A while ago I have created a div class named: div._keep .
This div keeps paragraphs together.

However, when I scroll up or down in such a topic I loose the focus.
The following picture ...

At my company we are momentary also considering to use the MadCap Lingo.
I am not completely convinced but I think it is a logical way. I am a very satisfied user of Flare for years now and trust that MadCap Lingo will improve more and more also.

Be aware that februari 9 there will be a webinar for ...

I can tell you what I do:

All same stuff that I need to use in different projects, I put in Global linking projects (I end up the name of these projects with Source, like ToolsSource or ProtocolSource).
When something changes it changes everywhere without needing to change everything in a single ...

There is a style guide from Microsoft:

"Manual of Style for Technical Publications"

Hi lisa,

Regarding #2, if I recall correctly (I don't have Flare open to test), if you put the cursor in a new paragraph and insert a single space then insert the snippet, it might insert it automatically as text and not a snippet block. If that still works, then that would be easier than ...

Hi Inge,

I use snippets and variables a lot and it is irritating to Convert them to text every time.
If you don't Convert to text the snippet acts more or less as variable and you could say "Why not use a variable then?".
The reason is that the variable does not have its own style, cannot contain a ...

Today I ran into the same problem and read these posts.

Rob also mentioned that in the TOC properties, on the Advanced tab, you can set your breadcrumbs to match your TOC. Upon investigation, this is done per TOC item. So, to do it for the entire help system, you would want to select all the items ...

That is great Graham, thank you very much.

I will put it through to my colleauges.
I come back when I have somthing to report.

Have a nice Christmas and all good for 2011

There is no percentage setting. You ca only do that using the Internal Text editor.
But, I checked that and did not work

I suppose you did, but nevetheless, did you in the menu of the XML Editor set the Layout mode to Layout (Print)?

I also tried some possibilities, but nothing is working.
So, I have submitted a request too. Hopefully it will be implemented in the near future.

For the moment, where I need it on the same page I go around by entering the number as text in the same format as the footnote.

You are right. In fact it should be in the Simplified view too.
In the Advanced view you can set it in the Unclassified section! and that works ok.

Thanks Graham,

I was afread so.
Some weeks ago my reseller had a meeting with MadCap and I asked him to drop this question of GIT. Like if there was experience or so.
The answer was that it should go in principle, but they had no experience.
And indeed, the market is too small to get it going soon ...

Hi Graham,

Thanks,
Did you ever get anywhere with Git in Flare?
So far I didn't get any further.
And ... at this moment the issue is a little bit delayed, due to the fact that I am very busy.
But I am glad to read that the issue is going on at your place.
I will be very keen on your progress ...

Does this have something to do with our forum??

Thanks Dave and Ramon,

None of the advises did work.
But I have the solution. So anyone who has to deal with Ruby on the rail stuff in case of Redmine:

In the directory ~/redmine/lib I had to change the following line in the file redmine.rb :

menu.push :help, Redmine::Info.help_url, :last ...

Thanks Dave,

I realize that more information is needed. I looked up where the link is made.
It is a Ruby on the rails file, in this case: info.rb
One of the lines links to the help and there is my problem:
def help_url; 'http://iln-egroupware/redmine-webhelp/redmine.htm' end

Thanks Dave,

I was aware of that, but the thing is that is an URL.
Look in http://demo.redmine.org/ and you see the Help button of Redmine. That's a URL which we direct to our WebHelp.

Maybe you know another trick?

Hello friends,

Does anyone of you know how to start up WebHelp in a new Window?
Our company works with Redmine (tracking system). This is a browser application and its help button is now directed to the WebHelp I made.
However, my colleagues need to use the CTRL key to open it in a new Window ...

Hi,

I am a newbie in this kind of area.
At my company the programmers work with GIT.
Does anyone of you has experience with Flare and GIT?

Hi Jerry,

Just to let you know.
I looked in some files randomly and I did not find this phenomenon in several of my projects.

I hope that someone is able to help you.

I use SyncToy 2.1 (currently the 64-bit version) from Microsoft some years now.
It is very simple to use. I always echo my files (complete projects) to server.
It is absolutely free. During lunchtime I let it do the job automatically (scheduled) but there are also options to do it at start up of ...

I don't know if you did but you can set the Width or Height to Automatic.
So, if you set one of the 2 and the other one is set to Automatic the image will scale automatically.
Anyway, I don't have problems with this issue.
