Newly Created Style Not showing in Flare Output PDF

[teknikulriter]

I just created a new style using the Styles formatting window, and the Target/Output PDF is not recognizing it. I created a third level numbering style. Has anyone else encountered this? There's nothing online about it. Thanks.

Is the style in an appropriate PDF or default medium, and not in an online medium?
Can you see the numbering in the XML editor? Even if the numbers themselves aren't correct, are the correct number of levels shown?
Are levels 1 and 2 displayed correctly in output?

Can you show us the CSS code for your level 1, level 2 and level 3 styles so we can troubleshoot?

Hi! Yes, you can see the styles in the XML editor. I have a Flare ticket open as well to get this resolved ASAP.

OK. I think this is what you're asking to see? The sequence is Number, Sub-bullet, sub-number to sub-bullet.

"Level 1" - <p class="List_1_" MadCap:autonum="5. ">Do one of the following:</p>
"Level 2" is a bullet - <p class="Bullet_1" MadCap:autonum="&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: 'Wingdings';&quot; class=&quot;mcFormatFamily&quot;&gt;n &lt;/span&gt; ">Export a system log as a PDF.&#160;To export a system log as a PDF</p>
"Level 3" - <p class="List_a_sub_bullet" MadCap:autonum="a. ">Tap Export Log.</p>

I'd be using nested lists to represent that structure. They'd handle the indent perfectly without any autonum styles. You can style them with classes later if required but if all you want are bullets, numbers and alpha, why not do this:

Code: Select all

        <ol>
            <li>Step 1</li>
            <li>Step 2</li>
            <li>Step 3</li>
            <li>Step 4</li>
            <li>
                <p>Do one of the following:</p>
                <ul>
                    <li>
                        <p>Export a system log as a PDF. To export a system log as a PDF:</p>
                        <ol style="list-style-type: lower-alpha;">
                            <li>
                                <p>Tap Export Log</p>
                            </li>
                            <li>
                                <p>Next step</p>
                            </li>
                        </ol>
                    </li>
                    <li>Another option</li>
                </ul>
            </li>
        </ol>
