I did that by applying a style class to those items in the TOC. Set up a class for TocEntry in the skin, then open the TOC item's properties Basic tab and choose the Style class .
This only works for WebHelp, or am I wrong?
Plus, just being curious here, is your "In this section" a div and it is ...

So what properties did you use in your css to create the final product :D

i am working on something that is going to use a floating text box and i wouldn't mind making the box look pretty ;)
Well, here are a few hints (don't have Flare here now and I am sure you can work it out by yourself :wink ...

If you enter a name, you have to assign that specific style class to each table (in your stylesheet it is added below table).
I think you have to experiment a little to minimize the workload you have to deal with.
Hi Wil
I am a bit confused. I am looking at this now. I have tried your solution ...

Hi Pete
Thank you for these useful links!

Hello everyone
I have been looking at the Search in HTML help and would like to understand how it works in more details. I came across a KB article ( How Search works in various Flare outputs ) which seems to be outdated.
In my HTML Help outputs, there is ranking on returned search results. The ...

Hi Wil
Thanks for your input.
I am not sure but I think that if I implement your solution, I will have to right-click on every table that uses the tablestlyesheet and set the row height to the same value (therefore I believe this is in-line formatting. To be checked). I have more than 100 ...

Hello everyone
I am using table stylesheets and was wondering if there was an easy way to set the row height in a table stylesheet from within Flare, rather than opening the CSS file in a text editor (and I do not want to add in-line code for this).
Thank you.

You mean Analyzer as the standalone product, not the "analyzer-lite" functionality available from within Flare?

Hi there
Thanks to both for your hints. In my case, the message got displayed because I was specifying columns (<col>) that I am hiding or showing. If I remove all the <col> tags, I do not get the error message anymore and can delete the column I want. Nearly there but it is tedious...

Hi everyone
I have been migrating some topics from a Flare project to another.
We have topics with large tables and we are simplifying these tables in the new project.
These tables are expandable using a form with checkboxes and some Javascript. The column headers are always the same for every topic ...

Hi Lisa
Thanks for your input. I have managed to make several design for my special paragraphs, with some text and an image, using your suggestions. I have used DIVs as I only output HTML Help.
Thanks again!

Didn't know that but then I only deal with HTML Help output ...

Still haven't figured out how to do the coloured bullets thing yet, though.

Not sure I understand the question correctly but have you tried using custom images for bullets?
As I came to tech authoring via graphic design, I have designed my own bullets. Example below.

Still finding Flare ...

I have tried rounded corners in Flare for HTML output and have decided not to retain them as although they look snazzy, it is tricky to implement and seems to be rather browser-dependent (IE/FF).
I have tried pure CSS (no images used) and CSS + corner images (one image per corner). Both solutions ...

Very creative indeed :wink:
Just a couple of questions more as I have just started investigating this.
1/If I want some text (e.g. Related Topics) and an image to be repeated for each of these note paragraphs, I presume I need to use 2 different auto-number-classes that I link to two different ...

Hello everyone,
I came across some posts mentioning mc-auto-number (Under Unclassified in the stylesheet) and I do not really understand what I can set with this property apart from the "obvious" automatic numbering for pages, sections, chapters, etc. It looks like I can specify images or styles in ...

Hi Greg
Solved the issue, so I have no need to annoy everyone any further . Thanks for the offer to help.

Hi everyone
I nearly have got this working but have a slight issue in that the image in the top-left corner seems to be creating a text-indent in the note title and the 1st line of the paragraph below. I have tried playing with the padding without success.
My code is something of the type:
<div ...

Hi i-tietz,
Thanks for your post.
Hmmm, haven't had much time to look at this but the print media stuff is placed at the end of my tablestyles' CSS and these are called after the main CSS so it should work. Maybe my expanded tables are simply too large to fit on one page...

I don't think that's valid CSS. I don't think you can use "or" in a style. It should be:


@media print {
mcTableStyle,
table {
width: 100%;
}
}
Hi Lisa
Sorry, I should not have put that in code style, of course, the "or" should not be there :shock: . I had it just like you wrote, and the ...

Hi everyone
Thanks to all for your hints, tips and tricks (Greg included). I think I have it nearly sussed out.
Just investigating a bit more the use of clear, float, fine-tuning the positioning of the image and testing on different browsers.

Hi Lisa and i-tietz,
Thank you for your contributions.
Yes, I have tried 100% (instead of an absolute value such as 17cm) to no avail.
My tables have got specific widths in the default medium (either autofit to window or a percentage of the window size) but I thought that if I had something like ...

Hi there,
Even if I can only select one medium per target (I have left it to default), I can set properties for print media using @media print, which what what was confusing me when I first posted about this.
i-tietz, thank you for your solution, it works perfectly well for the toolbar and I should ...

Hi Lisa
This is a good idea that did not occur to me because of the way separate table stylesheets are implemented in Flare.
I use the media distinction to show or hide some content inside a topic.

I did not find a way to specify media in the table stylesheet when viewed inside Flare (unless I swap ...

Hi Dave
Before this, I thought that my knowledge of CSS was not too bad but this is quite complex. I have had a look at the source code but without more details on the div or p classes' attributes, I think you are right in that I will be on this for a while :lol:.
I have managed to get the coloured ...
