Hi All,
I have been specifically asked by our engineers if there is any way for me to export a header file in C# format (.cs extension). This is not an option from the Export header File dialog in 4.2 or 5.0, but I was wondering if anyone had come up with a workaround?
Thanks,
Sharon

is it possible you have h2 tag defined twice in the same stylesheet in the same medium, since you are pretty sure the cascading effect is not the issue.

i am not sure but good to check.

What source control are you using, TFS?

Thanks Lisa! Always on the spot. Exactly what I was looking for.

Is it possible that Dave Lee, opened the Flare schemas and scanned it through to discover this super secret super powerful tip? :)

anyway this is coming in very useful to me now. this has got to be, for me, one of those hard to find, super good undocumented super top secret things, that not even ...

hey that sounds like a pretty cool idea!

I'd like to set headings h1 to followup with a p.BodyText not a p after I press ENTER. Is this possible. I remember seeing something about an mc-next or something but i can't find it. Its popped up before somewhere on the forums, but its too common a keyword that the bulletin board/forum search ...

Is anyone else having issues with Flare 5 as far as the page breaking in PDF output?

I double checked to make sure the stylesheet was set for print medium and page break: avoid, and yet it is still page breaking.

If you're referring to the caption breaking to the next page ...

This one is interesting.

its done with HTML and CSS (a topic from Wikipedia), only thing its done via a different source renderer.

With Flare, as a print exercise of skills, I am examining it to see how I could possible achieve ...

Not in this version.

I've submitted a request for this, - some snapping to straight lines.

If you're hoping to draw some callouts, try using the Flare's bubble callout alternatives if those are acceptable.

Alternatively you could create square boxes with a number inside, and paste them inside the ...

Now I have to wait a few seconds for Flare to respond when I open a file or select something, or when I switch between Project Organizer and Content Explorer. When I work in files that have conditional text (even just a little bit) it is extremely slow to respond to typing and scrolling through the ...

won't it be nice if X-Edit/Flare and Google Wave worked together somehow

Maybe if it was integrated with something like Google Wave....

That sounds about right.

Welcome to the forums bonnie.

BTW, if you have analyzer sitting around you could use that to fix the variables as well i think.

I opened a project in version 5--no changes. The PDF output is TERRIBLE--inconsistent spacing, bold and Italic don't show up where I want them, then show up where I don't. I will have to go back to 4.2.1 in order to print.
I am getting these errors in 5 that I didn't get in 4.2.1.

forfear, im curious what your output looks like as well. :D

I am experimenting with Segoe UI as a standard font in all my deliverables. Its a Windows XP machine, but i guess Segoe UI must have gotten downloaded with Windows Live or some service packs.

I am trying to keep the number of classes ...

i am sure i've missed out something but just don't know what it is. btw, dave, i am still impressed by that sample help output...

it really pushes all my skills up a notch just trying to hack work out parts of how they were put together. Nice!

And your target-specific TOC has topics in it, topics that aren't conditionalized out at the topic level? And your target is set to use that TOC and not the master TOC?


In the target, make sure the welcome topic is set correctly. If it was linked to a file that was no longer there it shows ...

backspace key?

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 .


The "In this section" box is the miniTOC, not a div, so I set the width (as a %) for MadCap|miniTocProxy . The "See ...

Also,
Avoid editing the TableStyle generated stylesheet with notepad,dreamweaver or text editor unless you're feeling a bit of a need for some challenge in life.

Flare's built-in TableStyle editor is pretty much the best there is, at this point in time for an XML/CSS tool or for a HATT.

Any help is greatly appreciated, as I'm having a bear of a time understanding how to find the simplest way to format tables consistently and easily. I did one table using just the standard table tags (<th>, <td>, etc.) without using the Table Stylesheet at all, but I thought the Table Stylesheet ...

QuadraQ,

Use the alias, not a topic filename.

RamonS's got it right.

I've finally created a fairly complete brand new stylesheet. Next I will put it through the Global master project import process.

To answer the question, I use both. i use both, mediums and separate stylesheets.
The differentiating factor is when and how separate stylesheets are justified.

you could open the file in notepad, but you'd just see the XML code.
