9781492106791: Advanced and Unfamiliar Features in MadCap Flare 9: What Does That Do?

Synopsis

Flare is one of the leading help authoring tools on the market. Many of its features are straightforward but some, like its CSS editor, have complex and often unfamiliar elements. Other features, like the DOCTYPE specification and HTML5 support, have strategic implications. These features can be confusing, especially for authors who are self-taught and find themselves swamped with unfamiliar options. This book addresses 38 of these options in Flare 9, many of which apply back to Flare 8 as well. The book is based on questions that accumulated during eight years of consulting and training as a MadCap-certified Flare trainer and consultant (and 21 more working with help and web authoring tools and coding before Flare). The book covers such issues as: • DOCTYPE specification and its relationship to strict vs. quirks modes in browsers. • Strategic impact of HTML5. • Float feature for image positioning. • Master pages vs. page layouts. • That mysterious “unbind” feature. • The effect of the Source Styles options when importing Word documents. • The Equation Editor. • And more… The discussions stand alone, so just scan the table of contents to see what looks interesting. The book will be updated periodically to reflect changes in new versions of Flare.
