When I insert a TOC proxy or Mini-toc proxy, I am missing TOC items in the HTML5 output. (The proxy is only including some of the TOC items.)
Has anyone seen this? It's really very frustrating.

Re: TOC proxies are missing items
I was able to reproduce this with a new project. I reported it as a bug. It appears TOC proxies do not work in the latest Flare build.
1. Start a new project using an HTML5 skin - I used Top Nav.
2. Add a TOC Proxy or Mini-TOC proxy to a topic.
3. Build.
The TOC/Mini-TOC does not appear in the output.

Re: TOC proxies are missing items
Well, MadCap say the TOC Proxy (Insert > TOC Proxy) is intended for print outputs and not HTML5 outputs, so I wouldn't suggest using it in HTML5.

In HTML5, your TOC is displayed by the main navigation component of the skin - the Top Nav menu, Side Nav menu, or Tripane menu.
Or if you want to insert the TOC menu anywhere in your topic content, then use Insert > Menu Proxy, and de-select Context Sensitive to show the full TOC.

The Mini-TOC proxy should work in HTML5 output, but it only shows child topics in the TOC. Anyway, I'd say a Menu Proxy is far more useful than a Mini-TOC, as you can set it to Context Sensitive mode and have options to choose parent, sibling and child topics.
