Can someone please encapsulate the solution here, or let me know re the issues I'm having - lot of back and forth and rather not try every single thing if someone can help
1. Google analytics says to place the tracking code into the head, so presume between <head> and </head>. But if I use Insert ...

cayennep

thank you!!

Not sure what the other styles do but this worked, that's the thing!!

cayennep

Look at p.MiniTOC1, p.MiniTOC2 and so on - that's where you define what your minitoc items look like.

you sure about this?? I don't have those styles, but the help says it's here:
MadCap | miniTocProxy > MiniTOC1

I created both 1 and 4, since the headers are actually h4

Looking at the thing in ...

cayennep

I've changed the stylesheet, used formatting to look at the mini-TOC, and still it is BOLD and black in the topic.

I have a minTOC1, and just tried creating a miniTOC4. In the formatting window as well, nothing appears bold or black - all blue, underlined, and 'lighter'

I know I have run across ...

Instead of resizing in image editor, I'd like to have a 75% style and a 60% style as those should be fine for most screenshots - wide ones at 75%, square ones where you can still see the text at 60%.

In the Unclassified group, I set the max-height and max-width for the two styles to 75 and 60 ...

I know these were a pain to find to add to the skin, but now I want to find the logos and am having a helluva time.

Is there a way to see _where_ in explorer the image is located that is used in the skin??

anybody know what they mean by publishing a movie to PDF??

I could just try it, but wish they'd describe this - only says 'print versions' so what the heck does that mean??

anybody implemented a sitewide search, that searches within the html docs on the site??

I think the navigation will handle it, and users need to adapt how they find things, but of course this complaint is one of the first 'feedbacks'...

apart from making it a kb instead of a help site with html ...

cayennep

ah, yes, forgot to mention I'm doing that as well - pre tag, paste, choose 'inline text' option

nada. and this has worked in the past, not sure the diff - tried from word and pdf

cayennep

I've gotten this to work in the past, but now it's not - in the imported docs, nor via copy and paste using 'paste inline text'

Wonder if it's that the code uses spaces instead of tabs, but thought even this version worked previously.

Any tips appreciated, thanks

I cannot figure out how to set the image differently for level 3 list item.

It's inheriting from UL2, aka ul ul - not sure the diff but cannot actually see a 'UL2' in Flare, only in formatting window, and no UL3.

I have a Complex Selector with ul ul ul and have set the image I want there, but it ...

I have a h1 topic with h2s on the same page - but they don't appear in the TOC??

I'm pretty sure this has worked in the past, or am I imagining it? Either forgot where this setting is, broke something, or Madcap changed something, help appreciated.

cayennep

doh!! yup, didn't scroll up in the topic far enough - thanks!
I make extra trouble for myself sometimes, for sure...

cayennep

there must be an xml file somewhere, right?

what the heck?!

I want to use relative urls, which Flare is terrible at, so I can test it on a staging server. But the only way I've found to do this normally is to manually edit the text in a text editor. I assume it's the same for this, but where is ...

I'm only resizing in snagit - the ginormous ones are not resized, as Word usually does this well. However, PDF does not.

Even the snagit-resized ones look crappy tho, and they're not scaled that much.

cayennep

we have a huge UI that doesn't work if the browser window is resized (so can't use resizer)

using a 60% thumbnail style works ok in the HTML but these images look terrible in PDF (the thumbnail doesn't apply in print, but most of the images look pretty bad)

Using png, which should have been fine ...

cayennep

I am suddenly unable to resize images in flare by dragging the bottom right corner - they bounce back to random sizes, same or bigger than what I'm trying to do.
This is on the regular 'img' style, which has no properties set apart from some padding. This was working previously, I've used it for ...

cayennep

Can you use your browser's F12 style inspector to determine which styles are being applied? Or is this a public site where I could look at a page that has the issue? Hard to know for sure without seeing the code. I know in my main project, which is almost entirely from Word imports, I deal with ...

cayennep

Actually, for ol ol and ol ol ol, these are defined by selecting the list-style-type (lower alpha and lower roman). This is in the Complex Selectors, so this is the place for it, and the right style to modify.

So it seems to be that, for ul, the list-style-type overwrites whatever I select as the ...

cayennep

issue is there are _many_ styles that could come into play

what each do is unclear, and changing every one has no impact
the complex selectors ul ul style is where I just changed the indent to overwrite browsers

also changed a ul Level2 style in the main styles, no impact.

The thing with that ...

cayennep

Can anyone help with which style (in Flare stylesheet editor) and properties to change to use a different icon for level 2 ul, and level 3 ul??

Again, I want to do this in Flare if possible (and it should be) and not in a text editor. I've changed everywhere I can see but no luck

There are two ...

cayennep

I can't figure out what to change to make this work

I have a list style, table list, that looks fine in html output - but in print output there is no space between the bullet and the text

Looking at the formatting and much css advice, would like to hear how to change it in Flare from other users ...

cayennep

only in some cases, pdf output shows many line breaks, breaking a url (inside a normal paragraph tag) into many many short lines.

this happened after passing files to a developer for review in contributor - some other stuff got broken but I just reapplied the table styles. no idea what this is, can ...

cayennep

I always look at the code, tho can understand why it's everyone's first suggestion.

I believe this was something really weird - like the topics had the 'insert empty pages for left/right' selected, even tho there was NO break and the previous topics were correct.

I don't use the left/right and ...

cayennep

nope, no code, no style, no dimensions

again, noticing everyone suggests looking at the code first, which I use as much as the wysiwyg editor, so always looking at it. Will start mentioning that (and wish it were that easy!)

thanks
