Not a framemaker user..my 2 cents

It looks like you have a few targets and a few TOCs.

Target A (default)
Target B

TOC A (Default)
TOC B

Only one of these sets can be the primary. When you build from the Toolbar, the system builds whichever target is set as the (Primary).

If you build from the Project Organizer, you are building ...

In the end, the ribbon is much like the modern power steering in a car. Sure, every racer will tell you they want the good old direct steering, turning the wheel a full circle is such a waste of time, not to mention you can't really "feel the road". Every mechanic will tell you the old one was ...

A pluggable API engine for third party developers to write equation plugins for the Flare XML Editor anybody?

Done mate

An equation editor would be the bees knees to blow framemaker out ta the water..
all those tech heavy and science journals rely heavily on these heavy typesetting in frame indeed

Welcome to the forums!

Flare is used to provide instructional delivery.
Most people use it for How To help, manuals, process guides, knowledgebases plus all kinds of other things such as training handouts, cheat sheets, product specs, about topics, etc, in multiple delivery platforms.

Am i just being more observant or do i notice the forums getting a makeover. nice.

in a team, i guess the job of tooling around with the stylesheet would be the print designer or the senior editor i guess.

I'd go with Word post-production. :)

After you export to Word
In Word
Select the Body Text or Normal or whatever is the primary style for your content text.

Modify the Style.
Select Paragraph.
Set Indentation > Right to something like 3 cm.

Small step of inconvenience for a big step towards ...

Never say never i guess..

Autocad 2009 does the Ribbon thing.

I was very glad when i discovered it almost by accident as well recently.
This will save you lots of keystrokes for sure...or thinking about regular expressions and all that.

haha

interesting...but i think its all legit requirements to be expected of the software. To find the topic you want in a 18000 project.
As Flare's projects grows from strength to strength, the user interface will have to provide functionality to support the additional load put on it. Good topic category ...

I always thought that leaving hyperlinks as underlined was THE web usability standard to distinguish hyperlinks from normal text. But it looks like removing the underlines in hyperlinks is THE trendy thing to do. Even this forum has no underlines. Even the New York Times has removed underlines from ...

Future versions of Flare on .NET 3.0. interesting.

is that even conceivable? ! 8000 wow! you must have a quick hand.

Flare case study

The projects i am working are modular and so far are broken down into sizes of about no more than 200 topics.

The larger your projects, the more important a good and efficient workflow in Flare is to you and your team. Once you start hitting more than a thousand, you're going to really need to know ...

you got nice help project

I think we should have a batch processing feature for this. It seems like logical thing to do for super large projects.

Until i see the ribbon in other commercial applications, i think the ribbon is just gonna make the third party Windows GUI Application developers some cash and a new UI windows control to sell to software houses, like madcap.

There is still much madcap is working on. I think they are continuing to ...

All really good comments. I am sure the Flare lads and ladies are an awfully fun bunch of people. :)

But it's true...
IMHO, Flare caters to the authoring professional; that expects to manage fairly modest to large projects that will have to be maintained for a fair bit of time. Its not exactly ...
