Thanks ChoccieMuffin and Dave, I'll give it a go. Fingers crossed...

Thanks both. I'm not committed to using Tripane, and would be able to change to SideNav except that Tripane offers a couple of bits of functionality that we find useful; if there's a way to replicate this behaviour in SideNav then please let me know and I'll make the switch! Specifically, the two re...

We would like to have some different skins on our HTML5 tripane documentation; for each skin we would also like to change the appearance of the contents. For example, a scheme suitable for dyslexic readers needs not just a different "framework" but also different fonts/line spacing/colours...

There seem to be several posts asking about this but none had an answer that I was able to make sense of and most people seem to have given up and moved to using a sidenav skin (not an option for me). I want to eliminate the wasted space at the top of the page that only contains the search field (it...

Thanks for responding again SKamprowski. You're right, we do use Tripane, but changing to side navigation is not really an option at the moment so the issue remains...I want to add some non-clickable, easily-identifiable grouping names and can't work out how to. If the only way to do this is to move...

Thanks SKamprowski, I've done this but it's not quite right. What this gives is: Picture1.png (where the category heading is "Core documents" and the .NET Core Interface Guide is one of the documents within that category) What I want is to fully left-justify "Core documents", wit...

I document a very large product with about 40 separate manuals. The HTML5 version of the output would really benefit from having some textual dividers in it...a bit hard to explain (shouldn't be for a technical author!) so here's an example: Currently: Book 1 Book 2 Book 3 Book 4 Book 5 etc. Desired...

Just had this issue too...glad to find a resolution that works already in the forum, thank you!

Trying to get brave.

See my post from 25 October...I can't get it working in 2019r2

Thank you Dave, that definitely reduces the flicker; the remaining flicker is minimal and due to the breadcrumbs being added after the rest of the page, but it's infinitely preferable to the whole-page-redraw that was happening!

Hi PoojaTiwari and thank you for the suggestion.

Unfortunately I already have the breadcrumb proxy in the MasterPage (before the topic body proxy). Any other suggestions? I'm completely stumped so welcome any ideas!

I've just tried this for the first time in Flare 2019 r2 (generaitng HTML5 Tripane) and commenting out the line in the MadCapAll.js file doesn't seem to be changing my URLs. I'm no coding expert (especially JS!)...can anyone let me know if it still works for them or if there's something else I need ...

I am generating HTML5 output with a breadcrumb trail at the top of each page. When viewing it, the page seems to draw without the breadcrumbs in, then redraw with the breadcrumb trail, causing the whole screen to flicker. Is anyone else having this issue and, more importantly, has anyone had this is...

Dave Lee wrote:FontAwesome (4.7) works fine for me in PDFs, using Flare 2019.

The update they provided referred to Font Awesome version 5, which is the version I need to use as it has our corporate logo in it.

An update from Flare: "In Flare 2019, the Font Awesome characters are not appearing in the XML Editor nor PDF output. This is a known bug (#150985)." Guess I either have to revert to an earlier version of Flare (which I can't do as we're using microcontent) or wait for the bug to be fixed ...

My stylesheet includes auto-numbering for headings (level 1 to 4). All are included in the ToC. So far so good. My problem arise when I have more than 9 headings; the title that follows the number no longer left-aligns (see attached file aaa.png). How can I specify that the titles need to left align...

I am losing my battle go get this working and am hoping someone here has had better luck! I want to include FontAwesome characters in-line in my topics (for example, "press the <apple icon> key"). My output is HTML5 and PDF. I can get the HTML5 to generate the characters but not the PDF an...

Thank you Dave. I wasn't aware of the restriction of the content property...I want to be able to enter FontAwesome characters in the middle of a line of text so I guess this isn't the way to go! Unfortunately it's the need for generating PDFs that is causing all my problems (I can get it working whe...

Thanks Dave. I've downloaded version 4.7 now – are you able to advise me where I've gone wrong with my structure/inputs as this still isn't working?

I've come really unstuck here and would appreciate someone walking me through this. I'm using Flare 2018r2. I need to include FontAwesome in topics that will be used to produce PDF and HTML5 output. I've watched the webinar at https://www.madcapsoftware.com/webinars/font-iconography-to-enhance-madca...

Did you ever find a solution to this? I have hit this issue too...I want to create a ToC for the HTML5 version of my documentation that has an unlinked entry and can't. I tried applying media conditions to the ToC entry and that removes it and its children from the generated HTML5. I was definitely ...

Be careful – I added the suggested metatags and am now having an issue reported whereby if you leave a page open and come back to it later it resets to the defined first page...not ideal! Removing the "refresh" metatag stops this from happening.

ChoccieMuffin, the bits of code I'm talking about are typically less than 20 characters; I agree that for a line greater than the width of the text block it would be necessary to have a break (or scrollbars in the online version).

Thanks Kelly; I've already tried that but maybe I didn't get it quite correct so I'll have another go. ChoccieMuffin, I want this to be future-proof so work in any output. Currently we only output to PDF and HTML5 but we're looking at ePub and maybe others too. I really don't want to go the way of d...

We use a lot of code in our documentation. The code includes Unicode symbols and punctuation, for example: "1 2 3+.×10 12 14" I do not want this to break accross lines as the meaning is lost. I know how to tell Flare to not break where there's a space, but I want to say that if something l...
