One other thing to note is that some outputs don't play well with DIVs. Word, in particular, but PDF, too, although that depends on what you're trying to do with the DIV. Tables, however, work consistently across all outputs, so even though it's an "old" method, CSS-wise, it's also the most ...

OK... so there are 'paragraph' styles, and there are 'list' styles. So I just need to copy my note-text style so it shows up on both lists, paragraph and list.
That's too much work, because if you decide you want to change the color, for example, then you have to change that color in multiple ...

And where the heck is Blockquote?
I only skimmed this topic, so someone might have answered this, but when you click the Indent button and the "Create Group" screen appears, there should be a blockquote listed in there that you click on to insert a blockquote (you'll also see DIV as an option). If ...

1. I assumed you checked the properties of the header frame itself to make sure you didn't specify top padding or margin or positioning, etc.?

2. The header frame is actually a DIV. Did you by chance set your base DIV style in your topic stylesheet to be vertical-align:bottom or something ...

I don't see an option for it in the ribbon, but you could always right-click on the topic in the Content Explorer and select View Links. That will open the Link Viewer in the pane on the right-side of the GUI (by default, at least). So you can always leave that view as an option in the right-hand ...

As an alternative method, I don't use the chapnum variable. I use formatting like the following:

h1 { mc-auto-number-format:'GH:{n+}'; }
h2 { mc-auto-number-format:'GH:{n}.{n+}' }
h3 { mc-auto-number-format:'GH:{n}.{n}.{n+}' }

h1.Appendix { mc-auto-number-format:'GA:{A+}' }
h2.Appendix { mc-auto ...

It's come up a few times each version and we always say to submit a feature request at https://www.madcapsoftware.com/feedback/featurerequest.aspx, because the more people who ask for something the more likely that it'll get added to Flare. So make sure you submit your feature request. Even if ...

I'm with Paul -- I thought it was children topics of a parent topic that were picked up by the mini-TOC. I always put my mini-TOC proxy in the topic that I use as the "chapter"/book, so it was always one and the same.

That's the actual XML structure view, as opposed to the page code view. I don't have Flare open at the moment, but I believe in the toolbar just above the XML Editor there is something like a lowercase t or t+ that when clicked toggles back and forth from code view to XML structure view. Switch to ...

Is the crop mark overlapping the bar code? I can't imagine how that could be affecting the bar code unless it was overlapping the bar code. If you're trying to crop right next to the bar code, then it's possible that it's too close and it's overlapping the very edge of the bar code, and the crop ...

How are you adding that part? Did you set up auto-numbering on your heading, or did you just set the TOC Properties to start a new chapter and number the chapter 1? If it's the latter, then that's not enough to add "Chapter 1" to the heading text. You need to also set up an auto-numbering format on ...

I don't think there's any need to use auto-numbers. Simply use the chapter break option in the TOC at the points where you want to change the page numbering format. If you're worried that it will screw up the {chapnum} variable used in auto-numbers and cross-references, then you can manually specify ...

There are arguments both sides of this. Yes, it's an annoyance, but on the other hand, it was probably designed that way to make sure you saw the problem before moving away from that line of the code. So having it flash at the top of the screen isn't a big deal, although if you hand-code often then ...

I believe you have to use either a chapter break or a page layout break at the point where you want the page numbering to change. So try it with a page layout break, even if you're using the same page layout. So where you want it to start with "page i", you set a chapter or page layout break ...

Can I write the URL to the Swedish HTML5 help as an event to the button click, and in that case how is that done?
That's what I would do, so that the user is taken to the Swedish-language output as a whole and not topic-by-topic. You should also, of course, have a corresponding button in the ...

What browser are you using? I recently discovered that Chrome has a built-in security feature that prevents calls to files on a local network from being loaded unless the web page calling the file was also opened from a network share. Since my web page was on a web server, not a file share, it ...

Especially check to see if you have downsampling of images turned on and/or the option to create new files when manually resizing images.

Just out of curiosity, if you apply the bold to the first word, then apply bold to the second word, does it work as it should? In other words, <b>Checklist</b> <b>Number</b>? It's not something you'd want to have to do as a workaround all the time, but it might help MadCap narrow down the problem ...

A hotspot on an image map is a hyperlink, so it's probably inheriting the styles for hyperlinks. I haven't used image maps in awhile and can't exactly remember how to get rid of the border, although I don't think I had to modify the pseudo class styles, now that I think of it. If I recall, you had ...

No, there's no way looking at the term to determine where it's located within the topic. You'd have to manually open each topic and see where the keywords fall and either delete them or move them to the top of the topic, if that's where you want them.

I don't merge projects, but normally, if you build via the Flare GUI and it encounters a problem, you can look at the build error list and it will show the last topic or file that it was looking at. That might give you an idea of where the error is, or at least which file caused the problem. You ...

Are you talking about the sub-set of Analyzer that's included with Flare, or are you talking about the separate, full-set Analyzer program?

- Putting a background image on the page using my print stylesheet - I tried applying it to the body and to a div inside the body but in neither case did the image appear.
- Removing the header and setting the image as background to the body frame - again, the image just didn't render in Word ...

From what I understand, HTML5 as Flare defines it is not the same as HTML5 as the rest of the world uses it. So the question is whether you're talking about Flare's HTML5 (online output that's not in a frameset and has some other features), or the web standard HTML5?

If you're talking about Flare's ...
