Re: Help Styled Boxes for Notes, Warnings, Examples, & Tips

In the div.noteNOTES style, try adding a padding-left that's the total width of the "before" box (sum of the image width + left and right margin + left and right padding + left and right border width as applicable) plus a negative text-indent that's about half the padding you added. The pa...

Re: MadCap's Dynamic Help Window

I believe this would be a window built into the application by your devs. This help window would display a webviewer (kind of a cut down browser). They would also code the application so that the help calls open in that application window. There's information about who does what for CSH in the help ...

Perhaps this thread could provide some help for your issue? The start is pretty old, but it might still be relevant.

Re: Home page is redirecting to a secured website

Maybe there's a redirect htm file or javascript file that redirects to the website as soon as you load the help on your c drive? Or a meta tag like <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5;url=http://example.com/" />?

Re: Delimiter requirements for "Paste Table"?

If the idea is to paste a whole table into an existing topic, if the text file the developers provide included the table html tags then you could switch to code view to paste it. I'd insert a paragraph and single letter at the location and select the letter before switching to code view so the curso...

Re: Online Help Print Button produce blank page first

The print medium is used by the browser when printing a web page (either to a printer to to some other output such as a pdf), as you have seen. You can't change the medium that the browser uses for this purpose. Assuming you have specifically set up your print medium to suit your PDF Target, I would...

Re: Adding Outside Font to Flare

Also note, if you want to distribute your the font file with your help, using @font-face rather than one of the online repositories, you need to check if your license to the font allows this sort of distribution.

Re: Link to and automatically open a toggler on another page

You might try playing with :target::before in your stylesheet.

The following code basically adds some invisible content in front of any bookmark y...

Re: How to add an email button with no CC address

I believe all you need to do is delete the whole ?cc line and then replace &subject with ?subject

You could also delete the 'var ccemail' line for tidiness but I don't think it would break anything to leave in.

I can see it when I try to print the RH2022 help pages to PDF.

As a brute force workaround, try setting the following:

(The code, without '!important', is in the print.css file on the website.)
