Background-color not working for print TOC entries

[RiverMonster]

Hi,

In my stylesheet I have the following:

Code: Select all

p.TOC1
{
  color: blue;  
  background-color: red;
}

After making these settings the p.TOC1 style in my PDF turns blue, as expected. However, the background behind the text remains white when I expected it to turn red. Is background-color not supported in a PDF TOC style? Or is there a bug? Or I am doing something wrong?

Thanks,

Adrian

You haven't said what medium you've set the background color in. Check p.TOC1 in the medium you use for PDF and see if a different background color is being set there.

Thanks Nita. I was using the print medium in my stylesheet and in my target settings. I checked that the declaration block only appears once in my stylesheet. I tested putting the declaration block in the default medium instead and assigning default medium in my target but the result is the same: if I change the value for the "color" declaration the change does propagate to the PDF; if I change the value for the "background-color" declaration it doesn't.

When I get in the office later, I'll see if I can reproduce this. That will at least point to its being a bug and you can report it.

I tried creating a brand new project using the wizard. Same result so I have submitted a bug.

Thanks

I tried, too, but no luck. One thing I tried was to use the hex code for red instead of "red", but that made no difference.

Thanks for testing this Nita. MadCap have confirmed it is a bug.

Cheers

Just hit this - changed text color for p.TOCn has no effect in resulting PDF. Any workarounds?

In Flare 14/2018 it's still a problem with no workaround that I can find.
