If you want to put a table in a snippet, just create a new blank snippet file and then copy the table in there.
Or you can put a paragraph tag before and after the table, highlight the table plus the two paragraphs, create the snippet then delete the extra paragraphs.
I don't know why the Create ...

That view isn't what we mean by "code view". :) In version 8, I think what you need to do is right-click the topic and select Open in Internal Text Editor (or something like that). This will open up the topic in raw HTML that you can edit. Or you can simply open the topic outside of Flare using ...

Take a look at this thread and see if it answers your question: http://forums.madcapsoftware.com/viewto ... 10&t=19195

You might find it easier to switch to the text editor and adjust the tags. You want the tags to look like this:


<li>
<p>Permissions: blah blah blah</p>
<MadCap:snippetBlock src="../../Resources/Snippets/yoursnippetfile.flsnp" />
</li>


Maybe there's an extra <li> around your snippet? Or ...

Yes I am using a heading level 1 variable to display in the header of the page layout, and it's working fine for me but I am still on v9.

Is the p.ChapterNumber what you are using to display chapter text on the chapter page? You want to remove this from the TOC by getting rid of the mc-heading-level:1 line. Also you probably want to bump your h1 back up to mc-heading-level:1 (currently it is set to 2).

I don't know how Flare does it, but I do it by defining chapter autonumbering for the H1 class, and then hiding that autonumbering by setting the auto-number-class used by the autonumbering to display:none. This hides the autonumbering text when the H1 text is displayed on the chapter page, but the ...

Is "Auto-end on left page" enabled for each item that comes before an item you want to start on the First Right page? That will inject a blank page as needed if the previous section ends on a right page. I don't think the section can start on a right page if the previous section doesn't end on a ...

Also keep in mind that the mc-auto-number-class: miniTocBoxTitle is a span class that I defined in my stylesheet to control the styling of the "In this section" auto-number text. If you haven't done so, you would need to create your own span style and use that.

You can do this by adding auto-number text to the MadCap | miniTocProxy style. For example:

MadCap|miniTocProxy
{
mc-auto-number-format: 'In this section:';
mc-auto-number-class: miniTocBoxTitle;
border-top-width: 0px;
}

I don't remember if you have to manually add the style to your ...

I assume you have that image folder set up as an External Resource and then you are copying the file to your project?
Clicking that "Keep files synchronized..." option creates a mapping between the file in your project and the file in the External Resource folder. You can see these mappings by ...

I used it when I worked at a large company (2 billion). My impression is that it is priced and designed for those kinds of installations, but I don't know -- perhaps they have a smaller tool for smaller organizations.

I thought so but I figured no harm in asking.
I haven't tried the relative URL. That is my next step but I won't get to it for a while.

Here's what I would like to do. I have two HTML5 targets in the same project.

In the TOC for Target1, I'd like to reference Target2 somehow.
When a user clicks on that TOC item, I want Target2 to open as its own help file -- meaning, the TOC is only for Target2, the search is only for Target2, etc ...

That kind of error doesn't have anything to do with a project index. It's probably a SQL error. The fact that you're seeing it in Flare means that something happened that Flare's software failed to catch and provide a more meaningful error message. If it continues to occur, you will probably need to ...

What version of Flare are you using? Starting with either version 7 or 8 (I don't recall which), you can define different settings for your table styles based on the stylesheet Medium used by the output. When you open the table style, look at the top and see if there is a Medium drop down.

But isn't the key this? (emphasis mine)

Some of the topics in ABC and CDE are common, but use conditions to customize within the topics (usually at the paragraph level ). I use a condition to specify "ABC integration" and a condition to specify "CDE integration."

If there is a topic with one ...

If there is a topic with both condition ABC and condition CDE, and both conditions are included in the target, then when a user goes to that topic they will see all the content. Assuming I understand you correctly, if you want to show/hide certain content in a topic based on a link that a user ...

In the target, on the Advanced tab, select "Collapse top margin at top of page/column".

The folder is in your installation directory. Something like this:

C:\Program Files (x86)\MadCap Software\MadCap Flare V9\Flare.app\Resources\Images\WebHelp

The plus sign image is also in this folder.

Yes. If it's not already turned on, click Toggle Show Blocks in the bottom toolbar of the XML Editor. This shows the style blocks along the left-hand side of the topic. To condition a row, select the tr block for the row you want to condition, then apply the condition.

I haven't done it but I ...

In testing, the print/pdf outputs work fine so I'm assuming there are not sticking points using Divs in this way in PDF output?

In my understanding divs are perfectly fine with PDF. I use them a lot with PDF and have never had any issues.

First you create the div style. For example something like the following.

div.note
{
margin-top: 6px;
margin-bottom: 8px;
border: dotted 1px #c0c0c0;
-moz-border-radius: 6px;
-webkit-border-radius: 6px;
border-radius: 6px;
padding: 4px 6px;
page-break-inside: avoid;
background-color ...

Well, the way I would do it is I would write all the paragraphs that I want to put in the div (again NOT using note paragraphs, just regular paragraphs or a list or whatever), and then I would highlight them and select Group on the Flare ribbon and assign the div.note style to the group. I find it ...

I have a p.note style that I use for single-paragraph notes. Then I have a div.note style that I use when I want to create a note with multiple paragraphs (or multiple notes in a bullet list). In this case, the div.note style has the note styling (the borders and background color) and you would use ...
