Duhhh...

I had the <a> tag border set to none, but not the <img> tag!


Thx again,
Leon

[Duhhhh-Check, Flare 701]

If I use several master pages for different online header/footer navigation block groupings, assigned to a WebHelp target, is the Online condition tag unnecessary for those navigation blocks? That seems logical, but what do I know?


Thx,
Leon

How can I remove the unwanted border that's appearing on an image hyperlinked to a topic?

Quick test reveals: Use the asterisk (*). Regular expressions do not work. It can find and replace. What it cannot do is the same as RoboHelp's similar feature: it cannot find multiple words with extra spaces or line breaks separating them. And yes, the answer is to use a third-party tool instead (w...

Thx, Dave.

You can style the pre tag with classes (one for each color?), such as: pre.red { color: red; } and other font stuff; then, in the topic: <pre class="red">This text is red</pre> Since the pre tag is a paragraph element, you won't be able to combine two pre classes on the same line. Instead,...

I still think that capturing the formatted code into images is your best bet. Although you say: "I need to use text rather than images so the developers can copy the text from the PDF or WebHelp and edit as necessary," who says they have to edit your "production output" content, ...

[Flare V7.0.1] Is it possible to have a text box for the Home function in a topic toolbar proxy (while retaining the icon image for the WebHelp toolbar proxy)? I'm getting the text box, background color, and tooltip, but I can't get the actual text ("Home") to appear. 1. I added a Class ca...

If the developers are going to be "editing...as necessary" anyway, why don't you have them export the code snippets as...wait for it...SNIPPETS! 1. Give them a sample snippet file so that they can use it as a template. 2. Establish styles for each color, and tell them what matching classes...

Images, shot with Capture, SnagIt, etc.?


Good luck,

I'm looking for best practice for Flare snippets with conditions. Specifically, to assign ScreenOnly to a navigation snippet: Assign the condition to the code inside the snippet? Assign the condition to the snippet (in the topic)? Any problem if the condition is assigned both inside and outside the ...

You inadvertently provided your own answer.

<acronym title="MyTooltip">MyWord</acronym>

Then you can add styles for a > acronym in your css style sheet.


Good luck,
Leon

How wonderful! Just what I needed!

Who knew that little arrow in the Type column was good for anything?


Thx,
Leon

[V7 Eval] In some large tables, we currently use a TableSubhead (identical in looks to the TableHead) as a grouping row with merged cells (grouping by the panels in a dialog, for example). The only thing I have seen in the Table Style Editor is the ability to add Body2 to Body1 to achieve alternatin...

Yeah, all black. I'll have to use combinations of css styles, using both descendant and direct child selectors (ol ul li, ol > ul > li, etc.), once I've figured out exactly how many specifc combinations we're currently using. That is, some combos will use the black disc, whereas others might use cir...

Oh, THAT'S what Make Paragraph Items(s) means: not the item you're in, but the item(s) you're about to create!

One other little thing: why do Bullet List and Circle Bullet List both appear as bullets?


Thx,
Leon

[V7 Eval User] We have many combo lists of the type: 1. Step 1 2. Step 2 ....* Option bullet ....* Option bullet ......Figure or Table 3. Step 3 ....Figure or Table etc. Users (and the Flare help) seem to be split between those who set style classes on the p tag (some with auto-numbering), others on...

I can't get anything but 100% width in a horizontal rule, either with inline styling or via an hr class. The thickness and color are OK, but Flare is ignoring 100px, 300 px, 50%, etc. to display a 100% rule.

Thank you, ladies.

Works for me! In myProjectStyle.css, I set up table > tfoot > tr > td > ul > li { MyFootStyles } and table > tfoot > tr > td > ol > li { MyFootStyles } with the indent/padding/margin stuff I wanted, and it works just fine. Editing outside the GUI will be no problem, either (as long as I remember whi...

"You can't create complex selectors within the Stylesheet Editor GUI." Grrrrrr....

No wonder some of my other style changes were being ignored. How long has this been going on, and why hasn't it been fixed yet? (As a newbie, I get to ask these uncomfortable questions.)


Thx

[Flare newbie using V7 Trial] What's the most effective way of setting specific list styles for elements within a table style (Resources/TableStyles/MyTableStyle.css)? Inside the MyTableStyle.css file? If so, how? Inside the MyProjectStyles.css file? If so, how? I'm looking to set up different list ...

Current RH X5 shop, evaluating Flare (again - the Subsystems/Content folders were out of control in V1 beta, so I gave up on it because the inconsistency would create CSH problems; however, my first look at V4 doesn't seem to show much improvement). 42-project merged WebHelp (final help always conta...
