New Following Style

[EricS]

Hello All,

Forgive me if this has been addressed. I am a relatively new Flare user. I am creating "Caution", "Note", and "Warning" styles for use in a pdf document. What I can not seem to do is set the styles so that the following style (when enter is hit) is the "normal" p style.

Hope the question makes sense.

Thanks in advance,

Eric

Welcome to the forums!

Yes, your request makes sense, but there isn't an easy way to do it. Basically the settings you are using allow you to pick a specific class of P, but don't let you select NO class of p.

I've seen people do a work around where they put the following in the text of the style sheet:

Code: Select all

p.warning {
        mc-next-class: " ";
}

Don't forget the space!

This will make the next paragraph have the following

Code: Select all

<p class=" ">

This isn't ideal, since you'd prefer to have paragraphs with no class. However, you can do periodic clean up by searching your project for class=" " and replacing it with nothing. That cleans up the extra, unnecessary classes.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, Paul.

No, for my purposes going right to the main 'p' class will work fine. Appreciate the help!

Actually, the following works without leaving an empty class. Tested it both with a next tag of <h2> and a next tag of <p>.

Code: Select all

h1 {
     mc-next-tag: h2;
}

Nope, sorry. Turns out it doesn't work going from a paragraph with a class to a plain paragraph. The following paragraph inherited the previous paragraph's class. It works in my example where you're switching between different types of tags, but not when you're trying to switch back to the standard tag.

Sorry about that.

My "hack" is to set the following style as p.none, but don't define the "none" class in my stylesheet. To tidy up at the end I change <p class="none" to <p.

I created an indented note class (p.NoteIndented) where I want the next paragraph to be a normal <p> paragraph so I tried this:

Basically the settings you are using allow you to pick a specific class of P, but don't let you select NO class of p.

I've seen people do a work around where they put the following in the text of the style sheet:

Code: Select all

p.warning {
        mc-next-class: " ";
}

but it doesn't work at all. The next paragraph is always the p.NoteIndented style. Here's how I defined it:

Code: Select all

	p.NoteIndented
	{
		mc-auto-number-format: 'Note: ';
		margin-bottom: 12px;
		mc-next-tag: p;
		mc-next-class: " ";
	}

I tried removing the "mc-next-tag" line but it made no difference. I even tried making it a different tag (e.g., "h1") but the next paragraph still was always the p.NoteIndented style. Any ideas why it doesn't work?

ETA:

Solved it! For some reason it was defined twice in my stylesheet. I removed the first one in the "@media print" section (where I had added the code) and then added the code in the remaining definition.

I cannot get this to work no how. My stylesheet keeps reverting the class to "inherit".
