getting topics to use the correct css file

[mlezak]

I am starting to port a ridiculous number of projects from RoboHelp 7 to Flare and I'm trying to work out the most efficient way.

For the most part, I think I'm in pretty good shape, but I cannot figure out how to get my topics to use the correct CSS file. I know how to do it in theory, but when I try to change it, here's what I get.

Any ideas? The css file is, by the way, in my project folder, exactly where it ought to be.

Thanks much --

You can set the style sheet in a variety of ways:
1) Project Properties dialog - applied to all topics in the project.
2) Target file - applied to topics associated with the target and takes precedence over the Project Properties dialog. If you have more than one stylesheet associated with more than one target, the primary target stylesheet is what you see in the XML editor.
3) Topic - applied to individual topics.

If the style sheet is set in the Project Properties dialog or Target file, the style sheet drop-down will be grayed out/disabled when in the Topic properties dialog. It looks like you need to reset it to the correct location in either the Project Properties dialog or within your Target file. (It's recommended to set it at either the target or project level, rather than to individual topics.)

That should be a relative path; if your mycss.css file is in your Content folder, then the only thing in the Stylesheet field would be mycss.


Good luck,

Thanks -- I think that worked!

I had forgotten about the project settings...
