Build error for HTML5 output in Flare 2017

[rhoward84]

Hi all,

I'm getting the following error when building a HTML5 output in Flare 2017:

'Build failed: Unexpected end of file while parsing CDATA has occurred. Line 79, position 1'

I've been able to build the same target without any issues in Flare 12 so am at a loss as to why this is causing the above error in Flare 2017.

Any suggestions or help much appreciated.

Did anyone ever get back to you on this? I'm experiencing the same issue.

Hello,

Even we get the error while compiling html5 and chm output. We tried some workarounds suggested in other forum threads - deleting Analyzer, User, and Output folders from the project / unbinding the project / fixing broken links etc. However, the issue still persists.

Happy to report we could resolve the problem!
I manually removed the "CDATA" from the html (topic) files. Though, I am not sure how they got added to the code at all. Any guesses?

I am experiencing this at the moment. The last time I built my project, this didn't happen. Today, it's finding files that aren't even in the TOC and telling me about the CDATA error. Where does this CDATA gibberish come from and why wasn't I getting these errors in previous builds?

I'm not sure if this helps, but I got the error when I included an embedded style sheet in a HTML file I was importing. This was when importing HTML from AsciiDoctor output.

When I changed the AsciiDoctor output to generate and link to a separate stylesheet ("-a linkcss"), the problem didn't occur.

Co-incidentally, it made working with StyleSheets much easier in Flare.

I'm not sure that is the issue, but it's worth trying if it's possible.
