In Flare 2017 r3 we have defined codebox styles (based on "div" with "p" in one use case and "pre" in another) for long sections of XML code in PDF print output.

Hello MadCap Community,

this is more a kind of a general strategy question addressing those of you who experienced a Word to Flare (target PDF) migration. I have picked up some findings from discussions and experiments leaving me with the following thoughts:


It will probably take at least two ...

Thank you very much for this information. I was just wondering about the same issue.

Thanks for the tips, I will try the suggested approach. I am experiencing this with Word 2010 and Flare 2016 r2.

Hi. I am very new to Flare and at the beginning of a steep learning curve, I suppose. Hopefully this is not too dumb a question :wink: ...
