Re: Images in PDF scales and occupy full width of the page

Hi I am working with Manoj on the XML side of this. To add some detail, the issue where images are stretched to 100% is only happening in cases where there is a <fig> tag with a <title> tag. So, images are stretched to 100% with XML coded this way... <fig> <title>Sample Image Title</title> <image hr...

Re: WebHelp Search does not find any non-letter characters

Thanks Sorin. This is helpful. - If you can add support for parentenses, brackets and braces ()[]{}, etc -- or at least the error message I mentioned for those characters -- that would be great. - I have asked this before, but maybe it has been added: Is there a Release Notes document somewhere that...

Re: WebHelp Search does not find any non-letter characters

Hi Sorin. Thank you for your response. It would be good if at least there were a helpful message that told users why their search string isn't found -- something like, "You're search string includes non-alphanumeric characters, which are not supported by this search tool. Please try your search...

Re: WebHelp Search does not find any non-letter characters

For clarity, it should be "non-alphanumeric characters". It can find numbers, as well as letters. Just not spaces, punctuation, or special characters.

Re: Tracking in WebHelp TOC

Hi Sorin.

I'm not sure what you mean by the Content panel. I sent a video to the Oxygen Support email with a detailed description of our issue, but I haven't heard a response. Will the issue in that video be addressed?
