List-Of Proxy in Flare 4

Post by McCarthy »

Hi all,

Working with Flare 4 as we speak and really like it. So much has been improved. One thing I'm wondering if anyone knows how to do yet, is working with the List-Of proxies. I can't figure out how to control the alignment of the text (if it is at all possible). Here's an example of what I have:
tableoffigures.jpg
The red line signifies where I'd like to align these captions. A minor thing, but curious if anyone knows.

Thanks,

here is an example that should achieve what you desire.
I created a class called 'figure' and applied the following properties to it.

p.Figure
{
mc-auto-number-format: 'Figure {n+}: ';
border: solid 1px #000000;
mc-auto-number-position: outside-head;
margin-left: 100px;
mc-auto-number-offset: 100px;
}

The border is set so you can see how the different auto-number options work.
Outside-head to move the numbering outside the paragraph.
Margin left will move the entire line to the left
mc-auto-number-offset is how far to offset the auto-number part outside the head.
You will probably want these two numbers to be close to the same.
In this example they are both set to 100px.
The line is moved to the right 100px by margin.
Then we set the autonumber to be outside the head and offset by 100px to the left.

The values can all be set inside flare by opening the .css in advanced view.


Hope that helps.
