I was convinced merely floating right would obscure my floating side menu, so I'd been trying to stay close to the absolute positioning used in pdf, but you were right. Thanks for your help.

I am tying myself in knots trying to recreate something in Flare html5 help that was never intended for it. :roll:
Here's hoping someone can suggest a way to untangled this:

In two pictures.

I am getting this -
div text and image.png
lots of white space inside the div (suspiciously about the ...

Not sure what type of help you are creating - I think they are all a bit different

In html5 top nav help, my feedback button is in the topic toolbar.
I have a skin called TopicToolBar
And under Styles > Feedback > Event the Click parameter is set with document.location.href="mailto:xxxxxxxxx@xxxxxx ...

Ah..ha!

Nothing like posting to request help, to cause a break through....

I found that my master pages included
<script>
document.title = "xxxxxxxx online help - " + document.title;
</script>

and the xxxxxxxx needed changing!

Clearly too clever for my own good when I set up the last project ...

I know this can be changed, because I did it in a previous version of html5 Top Nav help....

I set the Window caption to come up as <target name, hard coded somewhere possibly?>-<topic title>
I have duplicated this help to modify for a new purpose, only I can't now find the place to change that ...

Have you tried ticking 'Collapse top margin at top of page/column' under the Advanced tab for your pdf target?

This is something at the edge of Flare's capability. (There are a few things I would choose InDesign for... despite 8 years using Flare as my main, and sometimes only, tool.)

The only way I can think of doing it is to have:

- Each list in a separate topic
- A page layout set up for each different ...

So you have lots of topics which are conditioned 'Include in both A and B' that live in project A, which you pull across into project B.
They can happily contain some items conditioned 'Not in B'.
Then as long as both project A and project B have the same set of condition tags (pull them across into ...

Is this the sort of thing you mean?
If so - I achieved this using the MadCap Balboa template for html5 help

It was fixed fairly swiftly, see https://kb.madcapsoftware.com/Content/F ... _Notes.htm.
All has been well since a patch at the end of May, though I'm about to click on the r2 update....

I have found a few quirks like this with page layouts.

Copying and pasting any footer/header content from one page layout to another, whitespace and formatting, like your center instruction, regularly goes missing - I assume this is just a bug.

The bigger danger seems to be copying and pasting ...

I have happily created marketing leaflets and datasheets for first-rate professional printing from Flare.
Settings on your target will 'Convert RGB colors to CMYK' and 'Add crop and registration marks'. You can have layouts where images bleed over edges.
My preference for Flare in these cases was ...

I've been noticing something related, where my <li> list item contains a couple of paragraphs and a div.
This can make the list item number appear beside the last item in the set, rather than the first.
To correct this confusion I put everything in the list item inside one div, so the structure ...

I followed this https://www.madcapsoftware.com/blog/201 ... cap-flare/ by the same person and I can report it works nicely in top nav.

I know what your problem was...

Thanks to a recent IT upgrade my publishing stopped working.
I now get 'Publish failed: SSL/TLS required on the control channel (code=550)'.
This happens because IT have now moved to requiring secure FTP, which the MadCap Flare publish interface does not support ...

The way to go with your header is using a table.
Here is an example from one of my footers.

footer%20example.png

Use f2 to see your header frame contents box
You can then use the Table tab from the application as normal, and pick Insert Table, choosing 1 row x 2 cols. Set the table width to 100 ...

I am interested in the answer so I did a bit of digging -it didn't answer the question properly but this is what I learned, based on 1 sample project:

In MadCap Flare you run a Report on Content Files and tick File Word Count. That count on every content file includes all unique text in every topic ...

Here are a few pointers:

You insert these sort of topic controls here
insert_related_topics_button.png
and you will be led to a menu that lets you select/deselect files from your project contents.

You should be able to see an existing control as long as you are in web layout and default medium ...

I would suggest that the best way to do this might be to have Glossary A specific to Target A and Glossary B specific to Target B, where perhaps Target C uses Glossaries A, B and C (You select in the target, under the glossary tab, which glossary or glossaries to use).

I have used Capture a lot over the last 8 years and never experienced crashes.
The only peculiar behaviour I have seen is with (i) extremely high dpi images which appear to insert into Flare, but don't always render in print targets and sometimes won't display in the XML editor, or (ii) cases where ...

See my comment about the renaming glitch I observed.

This sounds similar.

Is reverting to 2017 r3 a possibility? (That didn't have the bug either).

I think you need to update to the latest version of Flare 2018. When 2018 first came out there was a glitch with the size of capture call out text for pdf. It was resolved in one of the patches since - though I can't remember which just now. I am on 14.0.6738.27462 and no longer have the issue.

I found this very old thread - has anyone since 2009 found a way to include a tooltip on hover over a dropdown hotspot. (It would be so much neater than writing extra to introduce the dropdowns.)

How about this -
run a build of that target then use your build log file, every "Image..." line identifies an image used in the build
