Re: Manage Recent Projects in Windows Task Bar
@Psider is correct. The list is maintained in the registry and the only safe method to clear them is the slow way. I'm not certain how many recent files it can hold, but I believe that it's fewer than 15. I've had 8 projects pinned on Flare for awhile.

Re: Hide publishing targets
Sorry, no. If the target is in the project everyone can see it.
I think it would cause problems if that weren't the case.

Re: Unable to link from one PDF to a Bookmark in another PDF
It's a bug. The PDF linking should work as you described. MC uses the APOSE PDF library rather than Adobe's library, which may be responsible for the break.

Hi Jim, I asked Phind, who returned page, topic, and results. One such token is the {page} token. This token can be used to implement pagination in your search results. For example, you can use the {page} token to create a link to the next page of search results. The {page} token will be replaced wi...

Re: Any way to edit the Options menu options and/or the topic's context menu options?
Perhaps mentioning to those Highers that anyone can print anything from a browser no matter what you add to the code. Once that html leaves your control, there is virtually nothing you can do to prevent the user from doing what they will with the text. Efforts to that end from our side are nothing m...

Re: Backslash in Headline breaks TOC in HTML output
That's basic html.
You cannot put slashes in a URL. A slash in any form in a URL is interpreted as reaching a new sub-directory.

This isn't an issue that Madcap can resolve.
It's SharePoint configuration. Don't look for any help from Microsoft.

Re: PDF comparison in Acrobat stops with error message
@Steve, Me, either, but I've only just started using Flare's PDFs. If the PDF is readable, it's definitely an incompatibility with the Apose library or possibly a setting. But that's only one of many, given our lack of control over the tables that Apose uses to mimic Divs in PDFs. @Tobias, I'm betti...

Re: PDF comparison in Acrobat stops with error message
Hi Tobias, That's annoying, but there is nothing to be done about it. There are many PDF tools and libraries available. Their outputs might look identical, but internally, they'll vary widely. The only compatibility guarantee is visually appearance, and even that's not always the case. Flare uses th...

Re: Publishing a single topic (keeping TOC /navigation menu items)
You're going to need two targets and two TOCs. Make one target publish that single page, then the other target publishes everything. It'd still be in the same project. Terminology will be an issue unless you use the same Flare terms as the other users. By Webpage, are you referring to something that...

Re: Flare interprets tag in preformatted code text
Hi Mark,
Try removing the namespace definitions from the td and div tags.
I would probably also have gone with a Code Snippet and line numbers to display a log file rather than using a table and divs. It seems like a lot of overhead.

Re: structure and PDF publishing
If for each PDF target you use the same destination file you can easily put all of the PDFs in one location. Since it seems you're accessing them via Flare's html output, it really doesn't matter where they live. But typically, they tend to end up in a central location as a general best practice. So...

Re: Conditional text applied automatically to page numbers?
Slight misunderstanding, there.
Flare always outputs everything, even if a style or class is invalid. Flare just displays it with default formatting. If you want to be rid of that line in your online output, you'll need to exclude it with a condition.
