Hi Yaacov,

It's set in the stylesheet for the p.FirstPageOfChapter style. Remember to change your medium to print to see the color code (#e1e1e1): Thanks,

Kristen

Thanks for the suggestion, Nita. The thought had crossed my mind to just use a dedicated page layout, and if I were starting from scratch again, that's probably what I'd do. But I don't want to spend the time to retrofit my 25+ projects with the new page -- several of them are so short that the ToCs ...

I had so much fun stumping the peanut gallery on Monday, I thought I'd try it again today, though I might just be suffering from Friday/Christmas brain. This may be an easy one.

For our PDF output, we have two competing needs:
1. In the right-page header, we want to include the H1 text; we're using ...

As it stands, the only people who (get logins/are registered) are paying customers. Not sure on the sales process.
That's pretty similar to where we were a couple years ago. One of the biggest hurdles we faced was that we had been charging for our more 'advanced' content, and were praised ...

Hi,

When you insert a cross-reference, the dialog that appears has two buttons in the Cross-reference Properties section: New and Edit. You can also add/edit cross-reference formats in the CSS file. The base style is listed as MadCap|xref.

Thanks,

Kristen

(we have help analytics for the first time in 30 years, rave reviews from customers/internal folks, responsive real time help deployments...); couldn't be happier myself.
That analytics information could be a goldmine for your Marketing department. The promise of all that data is what led ...

One possibility would be to use project merging. You'd wind up with two child projects and a master project that combines them. There are limitations to this (including the fact that the new Top Nav HTML output doesn;t support merging projects), but it would allow you to manage your content in two ...

(Apologies if this is a repeat post; I didn't find anything through search.)

In our stylesheet, we use the auto-numbering feature for our heading styles (h1-h4, and the occasional unwelcome h5) in the print medium. We set both mc-autonumber position and offset to make sure there is space between ...

I have a similar project in development and the plan is to have one generic Flare project linked to a separate Flare project for each product. The idea is for the Help icon in each product to be linked to its own Help.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if you're hoping to use run-time ...

In the Master Page file
This confused me at first, too:
Master Pages control the look/layout of online output types (though they can also be used with Word and FrameMaker output types).
Page Layouts control look/layout of print output types.

That said, I agree with Mark that there's a bug in ...

Has anyone seen this and/or resolved it? I could not find this issue resolved on the MadCap Software forum, although they do list many similar Chrome bugs.
I'm willing to bet it is the exact same problem as described in these threads:
https://forums.madcapsoftware.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=26711 ...

Sorry to be unclear. I was actually referring to the hover defintion CSS rather than the namespace workaround.

If it's helpful, I created a workaround for this issue for our organization, since we've also encountered it. In our case, the issue was that the MadCap|dropDownHotSpot:hover style was ...

P.S. This issue occurs regardless of whether the @namespace line is added to the CSS. This leads me to believe that it is unrelated to that specific issue.
The @namespace workaround isn't working for eeryone, but MattyQ has another solution -- have you tried his suggestion in this post ?

Thanks ...

Someone reported a similar problem in this thread, and Nita made a suggestion ("setting the table's width to 100% correct the problem") that might help. The OP didn't reply, so it's not clear if they reported the issue to MadCap or resolved it, though.

Thanks,

Kristen

This is a complete shot in the dark, but I wonder if it may be related to a Chrome bug discussed in another thread . I'm not sure where it might be picking up the color (which is bed28a), but the text does seem to also be bold in Chrome. Perhaps adding the @namespace rule to your CSS as described in ...

I suspect we need more information to help you figure out the problem, but I'll try to suggest some things:

- What version of the Subversion client and Tortoise are you using? Flare 11 relies on Subversion 1.8, and your Tortoise version should match that, too.
- @Catcha, what type of ...

Nita Beck wrote: 2) Support for runtime-merged projects.

Seconded! We use runtime-project-merging to create our online help, so we can't use Top Nav for that target. It's a pity, because I think we could make our help more closely match our web UI by using Top Nav.

Thanks for starting this thread, Nita.

I was imagining a case where those headings would be naturally in a ToC anyway, and so you could reference the ToC to display the elements on that page. But if you would have to manaully set up one or more ToCs just for this purpose and maintain them separately, it's not much of an improvement over ...

I think you're describing Flare's min-TOC feature, which shows a portion of the ToC wherever the mini-toc proxy is inserted.

Thanks,

Kristen

Add two images within a single table cell and madcap flare freaks out (GUI shows a big red X).
Just my $0.02 -- I'm not having this problem in 11.1.0. I can drag an image from the Contents pane into my topic and drop it into a table cell that already have an image, and Flare is fine.

Table cells ...

Is this PDF instead of, or in addition to tagging each version release?
It's in addition to tagging the trunk. Not all of our docs go into the software codeline, so we wanted to make sure there was a handy place to grab those PDFs. Since we also integrate SVN with Phabricator, people who don't ...

I would never, ever put output in the trunk.
I'm curious about this comment. I can imagine not *needing* to check output into trunk, but I can't see the harm if you did. Am I missing something?

We each have a working copy of the project that exists in the trunk, and we all get updates from and ...

I think there's a bug with commas. If you were to enter:
printing internet browser dishwasher

You'd get just the keywords, no quotation marks:
printing internet browser dishwasher

Clearly not a good workaround.

What I don't understand, though, is why it's handled differently when it has ...

I'm right there with you, Nita. We don't use external resources, either. Please let me know if this helps your perfromance problems!

Thanks,

Kristen

I know I claimed this before, but I think this time I really have solved my particular 100/1001/1026 crashes...

At the risk of being wrong yet again, I really, really think I found a workaround for this issue. I was thinking about other general troubleshooting advice I've heard for Flare. One ...
