MadCap Software Forums

Ok guys, I'm getting very close. I am able to use a complex selector and it will let me do anything besides inherit the width, and madcap is giving me a message telling me CSS: Invalid width: inherit.

I am thinking that it doesn't understand width: inherit in this situation since it will work with ...

I would have change each p.figure individually because each of my screenshots range in size. I don't have one set size for the img because some are entire screens, while some are cropped portions, ect.

I have been able to use the complex selector idea to move the caption text and change color and ...

I copied one of my .htm files into a brand new project and tried the complex selector (and deleted out the width in the div tag) and although everything centers, the figure does not inherit the width and still goes out beyond the img.

<div class="centerAlign">
<img src="Resources/New_Zealand.png ...

I could, I just had it working at one point where the div width had it working. So if I could fix why it centers without a div width set, I would only have to change my CSS instead of every single screenshot in a huge project. I didn't want to waste my time if it was an easier fix.

I have my margins set at auto in the stylesheet already. The reason I have the width specified is because I want the caption to stay under the width of the screenshot.

Here is sample of how I have the div tags setup. The entire div tag is currently left align on the page. If I move the style="width: 462px;" from the div tag to the caption (p tag) then the entire div tag centers correctly. Any ideas what I'm doing differently?

<div style="width: 462px;" class ...

I have a screenshot with a caption under it. They are both within div tags. I set the div to .centerAlign and it works just fine alone. But when I add the width to the div, it won’t center. Is there something in the CSS that would override a div style?
I need to specify width so the caption does ...

Hello. I currently have 25 seperate flare projects. The good news is that you CAN hyperlink between projects.

The only catch is that you have to have all the projects within the same folder when they are published. I use separate projects because the software is a work in progress and when I debug ...

all of my cross references are on the same page as the screenshots. Usually the paragraph above or below. I do not have any that cross chapters.

It doesn't let me place bookmarks infront of the autonumbering. This is how I have it now and how I know it's worked in the past.

Figure 1-1 [bookmark] blah blah blah blah

it was working last week, but now I do not know what I did, but it's not working again.

I have a bookmark directly after the figure and before the caption text. Would that make a difference? I can't click before the figure number, since it is auto generated. When I type {paranum} in the xref, it comes up with the caption text, but {paranumonly} is not finding the figure number.

Ok so then I'll just leave it alone. Either way, I really DO want it to says {paranumonly} as it refers to my captions. The editor shows "Figure 1-1" exactly how I want it, but when I view, it is blank. Now if I put in {paratext} or anything other than {paranumonly}, then it works just fine.
Does ...

It is the base xref. I am not trying to delete the entire thing out, I just do not want it to say {paranumonly}, I want it blank.

I opened the text editor and deleted everything, so it should be back to defaults, but then it still will not let me delete {paranumonly}

Thanks,
Andrea

I hope someone can help me. I have xref set up in my stylesheet to refer to the screenshot caption number. The number shows in the editor, but not in preview or build. I have deleted everything in the text editor of my stylesheet to figure out what is conflicting (I had it working and now it is not ...

Hello there,

I have a quick question I hope someone could answer for me. I had a stylesheet assigned to the entire project. I since created a second stylesheet that I want to use instead. The entire project is set to use the new stylesheet. I have since deleted the original stylesheet.

The problem ...

Hello,
I sent a feature request for captions as well. I have been feeling like I'm the only one who uses captions the way I've been having so many problems with them.

Andrea

Unfortunately, every one of them is different, so I have gone through and set them up individually.

After messing around with it for a bit, I kept the screenshot and caption within the same DIV tag, but gave the div tag the exact width of the screenshot so the caption is staying within that spec. Seems to work so far (at least in HTML Help, I don't know about Word yet.)

Hello,

I have a caption underneath a screenshot and was wondering how to set the text to not go past the end of the image, but instead to stay under the screenshot image. Is there a way to do this in the stylesheet, or should I specify width in the div tag?

Thanks,
Andrea

I deleted out the entire p.figure and something must have been conflicting, because suddenly it views correctly in preview and build. Thank you very much.

Would it make a difference if I am using the main xref class instead of creating a subclass? Maybe I should make a xref.figure or something? That is the only difference I am seeing with how you have yours setup. Any text that I put in the mc-format except for what is in the { } will show up in my ...

I only have it set up for PDF print version. I am wondering if there is a label somewhere that is not set up because everything else seems to work. If I set the mc-format to 'See {paranumonly}' then in my print preview mode it will say "See " and then not list the figure. Everything works exactly in ...

On the topic of cross referencing...

I have screen captions with captions under them. Each caption has an autonumber and a bookmark. Within the body of the document, I have the xref set to {paranumonly} so it will only show the caption figure number.
It works within the text editor just fine, but ...

Hello all,

My picture captions have Figure numbers and I have bookmarked the caption text. I have text that refers to the picture captions "as you can see in Figure 3-5...." in the body, so I have set my xref mc-format to show {paranumonly} so it only shows the figure number and not the text. This ...

I didn't even think they would be in there, but low and behold, there they are. Thank you so much for the assistance.
