<b> Tags showing in PDF Bookmark Bar

Post by jjdave »

Hi All,

I have a Chapter AutoNumbering created with Bold Tag as shown below.
{b}Section {n+} - {/b}

This results in PDF Output as all the Bookmark shows as follows:
<b>Chapter 1 </b> xxxxx
<b>Chapter 2 </b> xxxxx
<b>Chapter 3 </b> xxxxx

Also, I see the Bold Tags in Table of Content as well.

Is there a way to keept the tags but now show in PDF Bookmark bar or in Table of Content???

Thanks.

Same is happening to me. Did you ever figure out how to get rid of it?

I've never seen that in PDF output, but I have seen it in Word output. It's been a bug in Word output for years. My solution is not to use the {b}...{/b} tags in the definition of mc-auto-number-format. Instead, I set up a span class (e.g.,

Code: Select all

span.ChapNum
{
   font-weight:bold;
}
that will apply the bold, and to the h1.Chapter (or however you've named that h1 class) I add the "mc-auto-number-class" attribute, as in

Code: Select all

mc-auto-number-class: ChapNum;
.

I hope this is enough for you. I'm away from Flare at the moment else I'd copy in my CSS. I hope I have the right names of the mc-auto-number definitions... Going on memory.
