I'm beginning work as a newbie and am starting to work on a documentation using MadCap Flare. I work on a existing project, but are creating my own topics for the time being. With time, I will get to know all the previously formats, I hope. However, I'm the only one working in MadCap, so I can get no intern help
I have encountered some problems already that I'd like to solve. Currently, they are all regarding the used imaged.
1. I wanted to show two screenshots next to each other (to show what happens after a click). I found the easiest solution to be a table. However, the images aren't the same height and I would like to vertically align the images in tables so it looks a bit better. Is there a button for it, can I do this in the image ID settings, or only in hard code?
2. I have also tried using a image map to link to other paragraphs. However, that doesnt work as I want it to. I have a screenshot with several areas that should link to the respective topics. But exporting the HTML or the PDF results in misplaced links. They are all displaced to the right and I think also vertically, so that the rightmost link isnt clickable. It's even worse in the PDF.
3. This one is the most intriguing one yet. I have currently 3 sets of 2 screenshots that I show next to each other in a table (see 1.). I am using an img ID to automatically resize them to a smaller width, so they can be next to each other. All of these images should be wider than the setting I have chosen. However, exactly one screenshot elongates tremendously in the preview. In the XML Editor, it's shown perfectly. (see image 1 for the preview, image 2 for XML).
This is the code for the table:
<table style="width: 100%;">
<col />
<col />
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
<img src="../../Resources/Images/Dokumentenmanageröffnen Dokument.png" id="Screenshot" />
</td>
<td>
<img src="../../Resources/Images/Dokumentenmanagergeöffnet Dokument.png" id="Screenshot" />
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p class="Bildunterschrift" style="text-align: left;"> </p>
<p class="Bildunterschrift" style="text-align: center;">(Aufrufen über die Dokument-Ebene)</p>
And this is the code for the other tables which are working fine:
<table style="width: 100%;">
<col />
<col />
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
<img src="../../Resources/Images/Dokumentenmanageröffnen Fall.png" id="Screenshot" />
</td>
<td>
<img src="../../Resources/Images/Dokumentenmanagergeöffnet Fall.png" id="Screenshot" />
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p class="Bildunterschrift" style="text-align: center;">(Aufrufen über die Fall-Ebene)</p>
<p class="Bildunterschrift" style="text-align: center;"> </p>
ED: I'm keeping the third question, but having have the PDF and HTML exported, the graphic is shown perfectly. I don't understand though why the preview function doesn't work properly.
4. I have linked a topic from the same project, but from another functionality, inside my new function that I'm currently writing about. (Something along the line "Setting up in the SetUpTool is necessary", where SetUpTool is the link. Naturally, I didn't export the whole project but created a TOC for my new text to check everything out. The linked Topic isnt part of the TOC. The link is clickable, but nothing happens when I click it. I would've thought that MadCap takes everything that's linked into the output folder. How to solve this?
I hope someone might be able to help me - thank you very much in advance
