Now, I understand that I can likely fix these problems by making Flare configuration changes and editing my master css file(s) but gosh darn, that is going to be annoying!
Here are a list of problems I've found:
Date format change:
Using <MadCap:variable name="System.ShortDate" /> in version 11, printed as (d/m/y) now it is m/d/y. Not a big deal and actually I prefer it the new way. But why did this change in v12?
Easy fix: I just need to change three snippets.
Miscellaneous Margin changes
This is a more significant and annoying problem that will require hours of css edits.
Some of hardly noticeable such as icons shifted about 10 pixels, table columns shifted a few pixels, div caption boxes slightly smaller, etc. But others are really a problem. For example the H2 header is inexplicably way off to the left of the margin. Like I said, it is correctable but unless I was previously exploiting a bug, I should have to make corrections after upgrading.
Code: Select all
h2
{
font-weight: bold;
color: #737474;
mc-auto-number-format: 'GH:{n}.{n+} ';
/* added 3 spaces after {n+} to correct TOC appearance */
mc-auto-number-position: float-left;
text-indent: 61px;
margin-left: -10px;
padding-left: -50px;
mc-disable-glossary-terms: false;
font-size: 110%;
}
