It's not obvious, but you can select multiple TOC entries from the Tree view and assign properties to them. The trick is to use the CTRL key and not the SHIFT key. Shift selects all topics inside books also. Open the Tree view of the TOC. Click on the first chapter break you want. Holding down the C...

Hello spackiaraj and welcome to the forums. You can alter the output files without any fear of EULA violations if needed. It is true you can load external content into the topic pane by altering the URL. We do not prevent this because users link to outside content in their TOC, links in content, etc...

We found the Server can be upgraded to 1.8 and will still support the client 1.7 dlls. Problems arise if the client uses anything that will upgrade the .SVN folder to 1.8. For instance: Tortoise 1.8 (Client) will ask the user to upgrade the .svn folder to 1.8. If this happens, Flare will no longer r...

Update 45 has been known to cause the Equation Editor to stop working. We are looking into a solution. Using Java7 Update21 should allow you to use the Equation editor without issue. Here is a link to download and install that version of Java. http://ts.madcapsoftware.com/Downloads/JRE/jre-7u21-wind...

two things will happen for IE11 support.

Mark of the web becomes:

and
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />

Both of these need to be done in the output for IE11 to work properly.

Maybe I'm missing something.
I build an HTML5 target and open the output folder.
When I view each of the htm files in a text editor, I see <!DOCTYPE html> on the top of each page.

Yes we are working on an update to Flare 9 which should be ready to release approximately the same time IE 11 is released to the public. Ruth, From msdn, you might want to use this code: <meta http-equiv="x-ua-compatible" content="IE=edge" > http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/librar...

Did you click in the Content window in the CHM prior to trying to zoom?
I just tested this after giving focus to the topic, I was able to zoom in and out using the wheel on the mouse.

When you say "Publish" does that mean build the target or does that mean Publish the output to a location? Regardless, open either (both) the Target and the Destination files associated to the project. In the Target file under the General Tab - Verify the "Output Folder" is a val...

The Log file is based on the instance of MadBuild - not per target. If you build all the targets in the project, you will only get a single log file. If you want a log per target, create a batch file to build each target and it will create a log for each target. Example batch file: cd\Program Files ...

Folks, We do want to figure this out. After some discussion there are a few things we need when this happens. We need the Crash information and the Crash details for both the .NET Runtime and the Flare Application (See screen shot). Once we can narrow this down and replicate it in-house, we will fin...

Please open a case with support if you are experiencing these crashes. https://www.madcapsoftware.com/feedback/bugs.aspx It would help to send in your crash logs but before doing that, please clear them first to reduce the size. Once they are cleared and you receive a crash, please send them to us. ...

Great job Lisa.. I saw this on Linked In today and wanted to see if I could get it to work. I used "Page {Gn+} " for my numbering in the page layout and received the same results. In the attached sample project - you will see two different numbering in the footer of the student layout. One...

Variables are not supported in the Skin > Caption Field.
A feature for this has been created, hopefully we can get that implemented in a future release.

During your Trial experience, you have free access to Phone support.
Give us a call and let us help you locate and remove that bad style and answer any current questions you might have.

It sound the window (dialog) state is off. To get Flare to return all its window states to factory settings: Close Flare Open Windows Explorer to the following location: C:\Users\[USER NAME]\AppData\Roaming\MadCap Software\Flare\CatapultMdiEditor Select and delete each folder in here. Open Flare and...

The Proxy in the style sheet controls the list block or container (things like margin etc). If you look at the class assigned to the list items in the output, you can see that an a.Class is used. Create this class in your projects stylesheet to style the individual lines of the list. Here is an exam...

You should not be getting duplicate images in the output. If you have 5 topics pointing to the same image, then that image will only be in the CHM file 1 time and each of the topics will reference that single image. If you have duplicate images in the project and the topics are pointing to the diffe...

Do these topics have a lot of DIV tags in them or possibly one giant div that contains several other Div tags? Possible the Body tag is missing? Are you editing these topics with the editor in Layout (Print) and have tried changing the editor to layout (Web)? Many times there is code in the output f...

Stop words are derived from a dll so its not possible to see them or edit them. There is a work around you can do forcing Flare to use your own stop words if you would like. This needs to be done on each persons machine that builds the targets. Work Around Through the use of Language skins, you can ...

View the output in a browser such as Chrome - Click F12 to open Developer tools. Depending on the browser, you can inspect elements. Click on each of the elements and you should be able to spot the style causing the space. Dropdown becomes a div. It contains dropdown head and drop down body. One thi...

*NOTE* Always back up your registry before making any changes. Always verify you are in the correct location.

This may or may not work in this situation.

Create a new target and choose XHTML Book which is basically a Print based output.
Each Chapter of the TOC becomes an individual HTM page.
Build it and open the output folder.

Whats in the TOC for each WebHelp project shouldn't matter.
In each Target (each Project) on the General tab - you have to give the output filename a unique name. By default, it will be "Default". Fill in this option for each and they should all build from the Parent project.
