Have you checked the tablestyles style sheet(s)?

I tend to use snagit, their torn edge and page curl effects suit what we are doing. You can use Capture (or any other graphics program) if you prefer, cropping is pretty basic so they all have it.

If you need to resample an image to make it smaller (or bigger), the better graphics programs handle ...

I think one of the issues, particularly for print, is resizing the images and image quality.

We process our images outside of our publishing software and limit the size to 550px, fits our page perfectly. Images are always centred, so smaller images just sit in the middle of their space. And, by ...

Do you see this behaviour when you build or publish your project?

Have you tried setting the mc-heading-level for the heading you want to include in the build but not the table of contents to 0?

Maybe we are reading too much into the default masterpage...

It's exactly that, a default. Usually when a project is created it has one of each of the basics, style sheet, master page and so on. The project will use that masterpage as the default.

When you start modifying the project, you can add ...

No, I think you are seeing the correct behaviour. When, however, you click the thumbnail it should open the better resolution image.

At least that's my take on thumbnails...

The line the parser refers to is not the line in a text editor but rather the line of actual code.

The error sounds as if there is a missing ; or closing tag. Either that or you are use an ampersand as a selector, &{ }, which should be easy to find.

HTH

I'm not sure what you are asking, Bill.

Thumbnails are a reduced resolution image, usually displayed as a smaller image, that is designed to reduce bandwidth and load times for a web page. They should look inferior to a normal image when they are made the same size.

Not that I am aware of...

Have tried a find on your style sheet to see if there is another UL declaration? I must admit this seems unlikely as you appear to have posted inline formatting from a topic, which should override style sheet formatting.

If you remove the inline formatting you can add the formatting to the style ...

I'd try a test run with a plain UL tag. Try removing style="list-style-type: square;" and see what happens.

Welcome to the forums :D

As you are evaluating Flare (among others I presume) I would suggest you direct your question(s) at Madcap. They will be pleased to answer all your queries and it will give you a firm basis on which to select the ideal product for your situation.

If something goes awry a ...

My company has blessed me with a technical writing intern. Wondering how you would go about training the intern on Flare. Unfortunately, I don't have budget to have MadCap train him as I'm already going to MadWorld this year, but if anyone has trained an intern, I'd love to hear how you went about ...

You could start with Madcaps tutorials...

If we are talking html output the default behaviour for headings is for them to become progressively smaller. It will do this even if you do not explicitly set a font size.

The first thing I do when starting a new project is to define heading styles. I usually use ems, for example heading 1 might ...

Hi Mary Ann,

The thing to remember with autonumbering is that it is 'calculated' when the project is built. In essence as the build adds another topic it applies the autonumber.

When you preview the topic within the Flare environment the topic is built and sent to a browser (within Flare) but it ...

Are you using C as a variable in your autonumber format?

It seems as if the second level of autonumber is being reset (OK, it is). This can happen if it is a chapter level variable. It doesn't seem logical for you to have added a chapter break mid topic, so something else is resetting the counter ...

Hi Max,

Welcome to the forums :D

You've answered your own question in the title, you need to use autonumbering.

There are lots of threads on autonumber, or you can use Flare's help function. A Google search for autonumber site:forums.madcapsoftware.com will bring up a heap of useful information ...

But you can do that on the Windows command line:

Thanks. Love to hear that a name change is planned.
Ahh... Hate to burst your bubble, but...

HTML has a controlled set of tags while in XML the author defines the tags and document structure.

Welcome to the forums! :D

There is no library as such, its all in the stylesheet.

Stylesheets can be edited in an external text editor, such as notepad++, Flare's internal text editor, or the stylesheet editor (double click the stylesheet in the content explorer). So if you want to add stuff ...

Is the word "Documents" a link?
