MadCap Software Forums

Sorry for submitting this but I searched the Madcap Flare 6 online help ("OLH"), this forum, and Google for span.boolean and span.state and came up empty.

So, in Flare 6, what do span.boolean and span.state do?

If in the topic editor I highlight a bit of text, then right-click and in the shortcut ...

Thanks all.

I figured out pretty quickly that Flare 6's built-in CSS style tools had some limitations when it came to some of the "fancier" CSS tricks. My central concern was whether editing CSS outside of Flare's built-in editors would create problems for me later on down the road.

Per the two ...

My question centers on whether combining a particular sort of element definition will break or annoy Flare 6 and so needs to be avoided.

Because my document set's headings are all the same color, I want to know if it's "safe" in Flare to hand-edit the stylesheet CSS and:

1. In the CSS file, delete ...

Thanks but I'm giving up for now.

The key point, I think, is that I can cross-reference to table numbers IF I create a style named p.TableCaption, configure auto-numbering for that style, then cross-reference to it with the same cross-reference format that doesn't work when used in ...

Lisa:

Thanks -- for a start I fixed the autonumbering so that it is now "T:Table {n+}: " And I am indeed positioning the insertion point at the beginning of the free-form caption text, then inserting a bookmark.

I then go into a line of text ("p" tagged) above the table and try to create a cross ...

Lisa:

That's a great tip. Too late for my current project, but one to keep in mind going forward.

Cheers, thanks, & have a GREAT weekend,

Hi:

It's a small annoyance and nothing more, but might it be possible to tell Flare 6 to by default use em units of measure rather than px (pixels)?

As I tweak my layouts, I always need to perform the multi-click dance required to change any measurement I haven't previously configured from px to ...

Carl:

I believe I'm performing the same steps as best I can and it just doesn't seem to be working.

1. I have configured my caption to autonumber via (without the quotes) "C:Caption {Gn+}: ". This creates a counter "C", that G-Globally autonumbers across topic-file boundaries. I've tried the ...

If anyone is still following this thread, can he or she please comment on whether the inability to cross-reference to autonumbered table captions still exists in Flare 6?

It certainly seems to still be an issue: I have my table captions nicely auto-numbering, but can't cross-reference to the ...
