Although I am sure there are ways to mess your project up, it is much harder to do so when choices are guided and constrained. By using the appropriate wizard, you can create a new project, import a project, create or edit a stylesheet, export a project in one fell swoop, or other important tasks. I am a longstanding command-line and text-editor devotee, but even I have to admit that a good GUI-based system is more effective and efficient in many circumstances. I do have a good semantic understanding of XML, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, which came in very handy so that I could see what Flare was doing.įlare’s wizard-based system is a joy to use. Although I have tried out various XML editors, this beta trial of MadCap Flare was my first serious effort in a long time to use a tool to create online help.
To that end, I tested Flare’s conversion capabilities with various documents, help systems, and books, which had been created over a long period of time in a variety of formats.įrom time to time, I have edited web projects using tools like Notepad ++.

I have been beta-testing MadCap Flare 9 as a TechWhirl assignment, but also with an eye for making a software tool choice for a company that has a huge quantity of complex legacy content. Eons ago, I used RoboHelp and various other editors. In the last job I held that required web output, I used Visual InterDev, as I was creating a program interface, not online help.
