Try adding this to your CSS and change the content value as desired: .right-off-canvas-menu ul.off-canvas-list li.has-submenu > a:after, .left-off-canvas-menu ul.off-canvas-list li.has-submenu > a:after { content: "\BB"; margin-left: 0.5rem; display: inline; } If you want to use an image, ...

I tried that once when I was just getting started with Flare and ended up making two versions of the table in the topic and applying a condition tag to each table so I could omit/include either version. I think the problem with using tags to omit rows is that the table properties specify how many ro...

I used the @import technique suggested by Nita in this thread: How to use Google Fonts and I typed the font family into the text field:

Do I need to throw a div tag around the search bar proxy in my home page code? That's what I did with mine: <body> <div class="searchBg" style="text-align: center;"> <h6>Title</h6> <MadCap:searchBarProxy data-mc-skin="/Project/Skins/AVOC_search_skin.flskn" /> <p class=...

When a WebHelp output refreshes, all drop-downs revert to closed. I'm wondering if you could program an onclick script to refresh the page and then open the selected drop-down. With WebHelp (and not HTML 5), each drop-down has an ID, so it seems like it's possible. This has come up before recently, ...

Your company sounds like the one I worked for a while back where we replaced RoboHelp and FrameMaker with XMetal. I still use DITA tags for wintitle, uicontrol, userinput, and a few more. Just to echo what Nita said, for these I use a span tag. You only want to use p for the entire paragraph. As for...

I think (because I haven't thoroughly tested my theory) it depends on your output type. For WebHelp, each drop-down has an id, so you should be able to use a javascript with an onload command. I don't see any id in the HTML5 output, which you need in order to tell the browser which to open. Just my ...

You can display Used Bookmarks in alphabetical order in Analyzer and even export the file (if that helps).

Just Google, "vbs zip folder" and you should find some code for a batch file. But wouldn't that be the same as clicking Zip Project within Flare?

Kwag, could you create a different folder and ask your Devs to grab output from there? Or even could you PUBLISH to wherever Dev copies their stuff to? That way you get to control what goes in the build. Just a thought... Yeah, I do something like that now with most of my projects. Here's the issue...

kwag_myers

I can't address why your devs want your output put in the trunk. Perhaps someone else who uses Subversion that way can weigh in. My understanding is that they have it set up to grab specific directories out of Perforce when they do a build. Easy for them, but quite confusing to me. On our team, we ...

I understand the concept of trunk, branches, and tags (thank you), I just don't see the advantage for a single writer to work in a branch and merge into the trunk. I'm not going to break the build with my Flare project, so there really isn't (in my opinion) the need for using branches to protect the...

kwag_myers

I may be complicating the simple, but wondering if there is a way to put just my outputs in the trunk folder? I use a branch for development and I tag each release. Up until now I've never had much use for a trunk folder. The idea we're working on is for the developers to include my trunk folder in ...

If I understand the issue, you must preserve both the spaces and the paragraph styles (which pre doesn't do), correct? The only way I can see to do this is to replace all spaces with : 1. Paste the code into NotePad and open the Find and Replace dialog ( Ctrl+H ). 2. Type a space in the Find what ...

...do I have to go through and find every reference to a renamed bookmark and correct it? I think so. Run Analyser from the Launch section of the Tools tab to get a list of broken links. If you have a large project, use Find and Replace with Find in source code selected. Search for #bookmark , wher...

Which output are you using? And by "look Ok" you mean they look like this in the Text Editor (where #Example is the bookmark)?

Code: Select all

I'd like to know more about why you're using a paragraph style. Could you post the properties for that style? As for the table issue (and I have to say I'm not convinced that Flare is actually doing that conversion), check the display property of the ol and p styles. I think they both default to blo...

Change the Show Heading Styles to Show All Styles and (this is optional, but I find it easier to use) change Show: Property Groups to Show: Alphabetical List. Then set the mc-heading-level property for h3 to 1.

All I can say is that I've yet to read a post in this forum from someone who was pleasantly impressed with Flare's Word output. Most users who need a Word output on a regular basis find it easier to generate a PDF, and from that convert to Word in Acrobat.

kwag_myers

Worst case scenario I can export to Word, split the table into multiple tables and reimport into MadCap. If the table is already organized into the sections you want to break out, just slip some code in (I know you said you don't want to do this, but this might be fairly easy). Copy the first part ...

Older versions of F&R caused me to start using Search & Replace Master. Versions 10 & 11 are much improved.

Sorry, I don't have time to test this, but I wonder if you can have a 100px (or whatever) border instead of background?

Index Proxy: Just to be clear, you have a page with heading and no content, correct? If so, I'm afraid I have no suggestions. MiniTOC Proxy: The proxy adds any child topics, so if you have a chapter topic at level 1 and child topics at level 2, those child topics are included along with any level 3...

Is there a way to create this kind of horizontal line in Flare short of just taking a screenshot of the line in Word? I tried using linear-gradient(orange, white) in the background property of a paragraph style, but it doesn't work with print outputs (looks nice in html, though). I think your best ...
