Good suggestion, but it didn't work. Sigh. I guess I'll just have to try a re-install.

Thanks Marjorie. Unfortunately I see the same thing in every WebHelp target in every project (even a brand new one). My colleagues aren't seeing this at all, so I'm beginning to think that my copy of Flare has somehow been corrupted.

Flare 9.1.2, WebHelp target, Performance tab.

Is anyone else seeing a Glossary section appearing on top of the Search Database section?

(See attachment)

Is anyone else seeing this? The WebHelp displays fine but the Index pane just hangs with a progress bar. ToC, Glossary, Search, all OK.

Ctrl+Y

Please.

Rob may have inadvertently given the impression that you can't exclude topics from full-text search. That's true in HTML Help but not in WebHelp. Just clear the Include topic when full-text search database is generated check box on the Topic Properties tab of the Properties dialog.

On the other hand, not only do I not include CSH topics in the ToC, I don't link to them, or include them in the index or full-text search. My philosophy, strongly influenced by Michael Hughes's work on keystone concepts, is to view the CSH topic as a highly specialised form that has no relevance in ...

What would be nice is an option in Flare to (automatically?) delete .props files that have no information in them. I feel a feature request coming on ...

I'm interested in implementing the sort of GPL linking that Nita describes, using Flare's SVN support.

When you manually re-import globally-linked files into the child project, does Flare recognize that as a change to those files and automatically check them out of SVN in the child project (i.e ...

I don't know if it's relevant to your preview problem, but the Flare Help says that mc-multiline-indent is supported only for print outputs.

Thanks Nita. I had hoped I could do this in a similar way to my normal section numbering (see below), but my current attempts are not working so I may have to resort to chapnum after all.


h1
{
mc-auto-number-format: 'A:Section {Gn+}:{ =0} ';
}

h2
{
mc-auto-number-format: 'A:{Gn}.{Gn ...

I need to set up autonumbering so that I get headings numbered as follows:

Appendix A (for H1)
A.1 (for H2)
A.2
A.2.1 (for H3)
A.2.2
A.3

Appendix B
B.1
B.2
B.3

etc, etc.

I'm sure this should be straightforward. Can anyone help?

I have never heard of a source control product that didn't use a local working copy, although I suppose it's possible. It doesn't matter that your local machines aren't backed up every night, as long as every author remembers to commit their changes to the server at the end of the day (ideally, more ...

FURTHER UPDATE: MadCap have confirmed this as a bug.

I'm still seeing this in Flare 7. A workaround woudl be useful, if anyone has any ideas?

UPDATE: It seems that the Back button does not work on any topic that has been opened from a related topic link that has been inserted via a relationship table. It’s fine on any topic opened from the TOC ...

It's defined in the skin. Open the Skin Editor, click the General tab, and change the text in the Caption box.

This should also work:

Open the Concept Window ( View > Concept Wind ow).

Right click on the root of the Concepts tree (usually displayed in the lower half of the window) and select Add Concept .

A default "New Term" entry is addded to the tree; rename this as required for your search filter ...

As we know, when Flare builds a Word target, it parsimoniously (or infuriatingly, depending on your viewpoint) never creates a new Word style when it can reuse an identical one it has already created.

Sometimes (I’ll leave out the explanation why) I want to force Flare to create separate Word ...

In the Target Editor, on the Advanced tab, select the Exclude content not linked directly or indirectly from the target check box.

I think I know the answer to this, but I want to check with you guys.

If I define two classes of relationshipsProxy (for example, MadCap|relationshipsProxy.alpha and MadCap|relationshipsProxy.beta ) it seems that I am NOT thereby defining dependent classes of relationshipsHeading or ...

Thank you. I very much appreciate you taking the time to upload this.

Have any Forum members successfully deployed (even if only as a proof of concept) WebHelp Plus or HTML5 Server-based help and used the feature that allows searching of non-XHTML content? Specifically MS Word and PDF content?

If so, I'd be interested in seeing a screenshot of the search results, as ...

I have put a snippet in the Master Page that I plan to use for my WebHelp.

Then, in some topics, I have applied snippet conditions that attempt to modify that snippet.

I find that the snippet conditions are ignored. Every topic has exactly the same snippet.

It's as if Flare, when building the ...

This appears as fixed in the 8.1 Release Notes:

"CSH for HTML5 needs to be the same as in WebHelp otherwise they cannot migrate."

Can anyone tell me what this is about? At first I thought the two CSH APIs had been brought into synch, but if so the Flare 8.1 Help has not been updated accordingly...

On attempting to publish a WebHelp target, I get an error message: "Access to the path 'C:\Documents and Settings\ my.username.here \Local Settings\Temp\catapult.log.zip is denied'.

Anyone else seeing this?

Deleting this file (as MadCap support suggested), or changing its permissions, provides a ...
