Re: changing content in a style for various languages
The easiest solution I've seen is to create new stylesheets, one for each langauge, that import everything from the main stylesheet and then swap in the translated terms, so instead of "EXAMPLE," the stylesheet for fr-FR would use "EXEMPLE" and the stylesheet for de-DE would use ...

Re: SCORM 2004 Build Failed
To add to my prior reply... A subcontractor and I hit this issue recently and realized that the file that ended up being too long was in the Temporary folder that Flare builds under the hood during its build process. To prepare to build, Flare gathers up all the files it needs to process and puts a ...

Re: SCORM 2004 Build Failed
Somewhere, a file is exceeding 255 characters and so Flare comes to a halt when building. A best practice is to have your Flare projects as close to the C drive as possible, not to mention shortening excessively long filenames and folder names. Look at the build log for this particular project to na...

Re: Spaces disappearing between variables and snippets
So this problem/bug has been around since 2008 (and maybe before that). It's now almost the end of 2022 and it's still not fixed?! The non-breaking space is a workaround not a solution.

Re: Imported a project, and now nothing opens.
Sorry you've having this issue. Given that you now can't open any projects, I can only suggest that you repair your Flare installation. Other than that, you might need to pitch this to MadCap Technical Support.

Re: Common single project or multiple projects with GPL?
I'd also keep everything in one project for the time being. That's the simplest solution, and the simplest solutions are the easiest to maintain over time. But I'd design the structure of the project such that, in future, the project could be split into a "global/corporate" project and ind...

Re: Indent bullet and text to a second level
And you can speed up structuring lists and sublists even more by using keyboard shortcuts. Pressing Tab will indent aka start the sublist. Pressing Shift+Tab will outdent and return to the parent list. Or pressing Shift+Tab 2x will end the list and return to a plain paragraph. (At least that last bi...

The effect is that the pre-generated PDF is embedded within the main document at the end of all the other content. I unders...

Re: Multiple TOC proxy formats?
Second guessing myself, you probably *could* manage this in one stylesheet. I *think* you can create a custom style for the proxy itself. But you can't for the p.TOC1, p.TOC2, etc. However, you could craft complex selectors that define the spacing for those p styles when they appear within the proxy...

Re: Multiple TOC proxy formats?
Not in the same stylesheet. I suggest that in your main stylesheet, you define these styles as needed for the majority of your PDFs. Create a second stylesheet that imports from the main stylesheet and has just the variations for these styles as needed to achieve tighter spacing. Then, in the target...

What is your HTML structure for the footnotes? In other words, kindly show us the code for those two footnotes. Not that that'll lead us to a solution necessasrily, but it's something I'd explore while troubleshooting.

Re: Underlining to separate row items in a table column
It's not that you need to apply underlining; that's something you do to text. Likewise, a horizontal rule here won't work. Rather, you need to merge cells in the first and second columns. The "underlining" will be supplied by the borders on the rows. To learn more, see https://help.madcaps...

Simply put, you can’t. MadCap has designed the HTML5 skin editor to have only those tabs.

Files listed in a folder in the Content Explorer will always be in alphanumeric order, just as in Windows Explorer.
