Re: Image display in Flare incorrect for 2 images

nope, cannot figure it out - again, works in output (but tedious and error-prone to keep checking, or assume that it will work). But editor is no longer wysiwyg in relation to images, so that's challenging.

difference between inheriting content and creating from scratch (which is what I've done for ...

page breaks in PDF

in two places - on paragraph styles that are NOT set up as proper headings, and do NOT have this problem elsewhere. They are in the middle of a topic, so nothing to do with the TOC

going into the paragraphs themselves, set both to avoid breaks before and after (tried just after first)

They are ...

Image display in Flare incorrect for 2 images

This is very odd...

I have a style, BigResized, that I apply to the enormous screenshots we have. Thumbnail is on so user can click to see full image.

However, for two images only the image display in Flare does not change, eg display at 600 px, when I apply this style. It's fine in the output ...

Re: margins on nested lists

I am setting margins (only, no padding) on the ol and ul containers only, but how do I keep them from multiplying? Will try smaller values next, and double-check that that is the truth.

Oddly, I've not had this issue in the past, not sure what is going on tho.

Re: list item spacing top and bottom (and margins)

I did zero everything out, somehow got it fixed after that

I'm using the formatting inspector in flare, as well as chrome - but still can't tell all that's going on.

Good tip about the divs, not sure it doesn't add complexity for this right now but good to know!

margins on nested lists

Still battling w/ old vs new stylesheets and now have huge indents/margins on nested list items & can't figure out why. Looking at the formatting in flare does not help all that much, as all left margins are set to 0.

Do I need to create a li li style with negative margins?? Or a ul ul one? And the ...

Same exact settings as all the others, which have page numbers printing correctly. Same breaks, etc in TOCs.

Re: leave topic out of html toc?

?? If you set a condition on the toc, the include/exclude applies to the toc AND the content inclusion

I'm kinda past it but did think there was a (simple) way to do this at one point.

Um, what? I can set the mc-heading for it (h6) to 0, but that only leaves it out of the print builds. Your suggestion sounds more complicated but I think this is what ...

leave topic out of html toc?

Is there a way to do this? It's not in the print toc 'cos h6, but I thought there was a way to leave it out of the html toc as well?

It's for an intellectual property notice, so it needs to be there but not in TOC, ideally (tho I may learn otherwise, I'd like to know if this is possible)
