I build WebHelp output just fine. I start clicking through the topics using the NextTopic button. All is well until I reach a certain topic. When I click NextTopic here, it jumps backward to an old topic farther up in the TOC.

What could possibly be wrong here? I don't even know where to start ...

Nita's right, Choccie. No reason to feel down on yourself.

Nita has forgotten more about Flare than I will ever know.

Thanks, Steve!

Too many images to do that on a one-at-a-time basis. I figured something out using the stylesheet.

Your images did not get uploaded.

I use Snagit, actually. Never got the hang of Capture.

Images seem fine in PDF output.

Some, not all, images seem too large and blurry in HTML5 web output.

What causes this and how can I fix it?

Suggestions are welcome.

Thanks, Nita! I didn't know that.

Is it me, or is the HTML5 output VERY slow to build. Much slower than my normal PDF output.

I mean slow enough that you think something has gone horribly wrong.

Suggestions?

Thanks, dorcutt!

Thanks, Nita!

I have several folder with topics containing H1 headings.

I need to change these to H2, but I don't want to change each heading individually.

Is there a way to do all H1 headings at once, kind of like search-and-replace?

Thanks, Kellie!

Thanks! I'll try it.

Looking into it....

I created a new paragraph style and I'm having problems applying it.

I created a new paragraph style, p.TOC, but I am unable to apply it because it isn't being listed in the Styles Window.

How can I get the Styles Window to list ALL paragraph styles?

I have a problem with PDF output for a project.

The label "Contents" is of type "p.Title" but shows up by itself on one page. The rest of the contents shows up on its own page.

I don't have this problem with any other PDF output on any other project.

I have even copied the TOC entry from another ...

Why would an image that displays perfectly in PDF output show up as too large in WebHelp output?

I configured its size using Snagit.

Addendum: The image displays perfectly in HTML5. WebHelp is the problem. Also, image displays too large in both Firefox and Chrome.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Nita!

Nita Beck wrote:Craig, what are you asking about?

The function on the bottom of forum topic pages.

Is the "Bookmark topic" function new, or am I blind? I am probably just blind.

Thanks, Nita!

Is there a way to quickly count the number of topics or images in a folder?

Never mind, I got it!

When you are outputting to HTML5, remember to go to the Skin tab, click the Edit button, and then select the browser features you want.

It seems as though nothing is selected by default. You must deliberately select what you want.

Flare 11.0.0

The skin is "default"
