MadCap Software Forums

If there is, I've never found it. But I have used Beyond Compare, which I found much clearer than the comparison in GIT, because it shows you exactly what the differences are, not just the fact that there are differences.

Breadcrumbs relate to the main TOC (what's in the side nav if that's what you're using), so I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve. If your main TOC has the sub-tocs nested in them, it should work. I can't quite picture what you've done, so I can't suggest a solution for you.

In brief, snippets are your answer.

I can confirm, branching is now supported in Central.

When you DO get buy-in and permission, there are a couple of things that might help reduce a tiny bit of the inevitable pain.

1. Make sure your writers all have the same file/folder structure on their machines. So, for example, if you have your global project in D:\Flare\Global and your child ...

You might find MadCap staff pop into the forums but they don't actively monitor them - they're really for users to talk to each other rather than for MadCap to keep an eye on things. When adding bugs, I do often include a link to any threads that have been talking about the problem, but for this ...

Building on your very helpful reply, in order to get it to display correctly in both the XML Editor and the built output, I had to list both bits in my stylesheet, where the first item makes the XML Editor work, and the second makes the built output work. So my stylesheet contains these (where ...

@NorthEast, I think I love you! :D

Thanks for that very clear explanation. I'm just about to test it but it makes very obvious sense so I'm not expecting to come back with any further questions.

I don't think the Flare documentation says enough about some of the features that a lot of us use ...

This is the screenshot.

I have an odd problem and can't work out what I have done wrong.

In my stylesheet I have styling defined for a dropdown, but I want to make a nested dropdown display differently. Code for dropdowns from my stylesheet shown below. (Before you cringe at what it looks like, I added the third bit (the ...

I suggest you also reach out to MadCap directly through the team you purchased from, as they should be able to give you some targeted guidance for your situation - after all, they want you to keep buying Flare licences so it's in their interest to help you get your projects converted! :D

I found them here: https://kb.madcapsoftware.com/Content/Flare/General/GEN1075F%20-%20Flare%202023%20r2%20Release%20Notes.htm


Thanks for that link. Unfortunately they haven't included 2023r2 in the side nav menu, so if you want to look at the release notes, you need to click that link.

I think ...

Could you give a specific link please? I am looking at http://kb.madcapsoftware.com and I can't see 'em. Thanks!

I notice that 2023 r2 is now available to download, and there's a message saying "check the knowledge base for release notes" but I can't find them. Has anyone seen the elusive release notes anywhere? If so, please share a link.

Thanks!

It does sort itself out eventually, and as a workaround I find myself typing the thing I want to find into my topic then cutting and pasting into the Find box.

Think I need to do a(nother) bug report!

... the 6.1.1 heading style is p.headingSub1 ...


You've identified the cause of the problem, because your heading 3 isn't actually a heading, it's a paragraph.

If you want headings to behave like headings, you ought to use h1 - h6 rather than a class of p. But that might not be practical if ...

I don't use Slack because my previous employer banned it as a security risk, and I'm not going to go looking at something on my personal account that I have to access from my personal computer rather than my work computer, because I don't turn on my personal computer very often. The forums are my go ...

The autonum bit should be part of your h1 style in your PDF medium, so yes, it's definitely possible. I'm in the middle of stuff so can't give you details, but you might want to look in that area.

Also, have you generated your HTML5 target? It's possible that things are set up correctly and your ...

It's not the output folder that's the problem, it's the folder depth of your Flare project and the 260-character limit that's causing the problem. There's also a "Temporary" folder used during the build and it's usually that one that causes things to fail.

To test, move your whole Flare project ...

This has been a problem for years and years and years, and usually happens to me when I've been doing lots of searches, or manipulating things a lot.

Please raise a bug because until lots of us do, the techies in the broom cupboard at Madcap aren't going to get round to sorting it out. (I tried ...

In your first screenshot you have things filtered on "My". Take a look at that filter and see what other options there are. (I don't have Flare open at the mo so I can't check.) That'll probably get you on your way.

For your case, no, it doesn't matter which. But do keep in mind that at some stage your might be required to produce a different kind of output, so where you set the condition becomes more relevant.

If the Word doc is always going to have the same name and the same location, you should be able to add a link in your Flare project.

If it's going to change name or location, then it's not something you can do, as far as I know.

Also, I suggest that whoever the external person is creates a PDF ...

I know what you mean - it took me years to persuade my previous company to swap. As suggested, as long as the help is using CSH IDs rather than hardcoded filenames to link to the help, it should be fairly smooth. And even if they don't, I did a proof of concept to change their app that used ...
