It doesn't work?
Then it's the use for togglers that changes that behaviour, since it works for bullet icons.

You should have a look at the margin-top and padding-top settings of the hotspot. - Set them to 0.
And don't forget the pseudo classes of the hotspot.

Never heard of a solution other than this: Add empty space at the top of the image - INSIDE the image file. That pushes down the arrow.

Convert screenshots into vector graphics? I've never seen that working, not even with pro software like photoshop & co, but I have to admit that the last time I tried is about 5 years ago ...
We use plenty of screenshots for our documents and use the PNG format, which works well for screen and even ...

Leaving the transformation to Flare is not a good idea. Use a graphic software or converter - that software is specialized to process pics.

It'd surprise me if Corel Draw didn't have a batch conversion that processes folder structures full of files in one go.

E.g. in the software called "Total Commander"
In that software you go to the content folder, search for *.htm in all subfolders and print the result ...

Means: not in Flare.

That's what I was figuring on doing, except that we'd deliver all three to each customer and, at the very least, provide a software link to each... but it would be great if, from each topic in each target, we could provide a link to another target that has the exact product version they are ...

Togglers:
You have links, e.g. at the top of the topic: All, product 1, product 2
And in the topic you have the WHOLE content.
The parts for product 1 you name product 1 and All
The parts for product 2 you name product 2 and All

If you also need a help that's supposed to contain only one ...

If that is by design, it wasn't completely implemented, since, again, you can have a heading in the effect if it's there before you create the effect.
Precisely. That's why I wrote about the lone developer ... Believe me, I know what I'm talking about - I deal with that sort of developer every day ...

I mean: Inserting a heading into a dropdown body, not into normal text that is to become a dropdown body.

And, NO, it is no option to do it the other way round because we have classes that have to be applied to dropdowns and I generated snippets to reduce the error rate of my colleagues. Apart from ...

Barely two months using FM 10, and I'll take that ribbon menu in a heartbeat....
Ah, well, ... yes ... that's FM ... one of my all time top favorite software packages ... ... Flare just cannot compete with that excellence ... SAP R/3 surely can and sometimes Lotus Notes ... ... to produce ...

I didn't mean as a DDhotspot, I mean inside a DDbody.

And why can't I have a heading tag in a dropdown?

I'm afraid the only thing you can do is insert the classes and tags in the html source of the topics:
Context menu of the topic in the Content Explorer -> Open with | Internal Text Editor
At least I didn't find another way to solve that.

I also have snippets that consist of heading tags with dummy ...

It wouldn't be so bad if this was the only issue I've had with Flare, but this is the umpteenth time I've had so scour the documentation, the web, and these forums to try and figure out some strange behavior. I have never encountered a product that is so hard to learn and use, and that has so many ...

Including topics in the output that are not in the TOC seems odd, but that is the default behavior in Flare. When told this is what Flare does, I didn't believe it until I tried. Sure enough, all of the topics in the project are included (and are returned in the search results!). Am I the only one ...

Enter the text in a software with spell checker (Word, ... ) check it there and paste it into Flare.

milkor, what's this? a full paragraph catalog à la FrameMaker

In Flare neither the Style Picker nor the Styles window will offer any styles not in your project.

I don't understand what your comment has to do with the quote.
In either interface, I see all the styles that are in my .css style ...

Same outcome: castrated list of tags/classes/styles ...

For me the pre tag does that job.

aha ... and if you enter it into the masterpage, is the content the same in each topic? Or do you generate it dynamically via a script?

Post a bug report: https://www.madcapsoftware.com/feedback/bugs.aspx

The list of tags classes and styles is even more "castrated" inside dropdowns or tables ... e.g.: no heading tags (h1, h2, etc.) available inside a dropdown.
Even if the short list is supposed to "help" dummy users ;-) : At least ...

Two reasons. First, say you inherited the help from someone and they hadn't done a very good job. So bad in fact that your users ignore your help. How do you get them back? Send an email telling them about the all-new help? Great, if they read the email.
- You could get them via the application ...

Maybe it's accepted fact to produce help just like Adobe's ...

For help for an Adobe product I go into the internet straight away, too. Because I tried ever so often (to no avail) to find help in the help, which has never been CSH before, and still isn't. I usually go straight to the Adobe forums ...
