Another point to note...
the ever useful Flare help system has an article on DPI for Single-Sourcing images (topic of the same title)
or search for DPI, and you'll hit it.

You'll need Capture unfortunately.

For me, the main areas I had trouble with weren't to do with Flare as such, but more that I needed to understand (X)HTML and CSS in order to use it and get the best out of it.

Uhm, many of us are less blessed and live in the PC world. Did you come across a tool that does the same task on a Windoze system?

Flare is awfully powerful. But to produce immediate professional results, there's a fair bit of customization, if everything has to be built up from scratch. But once, you've standardized the important things, look and feel, you just wanna copy and paste it accross your projects.
My thoughts ...

Hi
Never thought about that actually but cool idea. I was overwhelmed by the Help System as well actually. I couldn't follow the Video tutorials because they were rather sluggish or moved at too tepid a pace for me, too much user interaction required. :) But the Help system is good once, you've ...

Same here mr Tom Johnson. I've been tooling around and I know this for a fact now after much frustration..

DPI is for print.
Pixels Resolution is for Screen Output.

In PNG, if the metadata is set at 96 dpi (no correlation with Pixel Resolution), the image will be sized accordingly when you ...

We use TFS over here.
Regardless even in Robohelp x5 days you could work with some sort of code versioning system.

The thing i like about video recording versus computer simulations si that they computer simulations have this knack of running slow, with all kinds of necessary interactions and appearing sluggish.

IMHO, video output like what a screen recorder does as in Camtasia and Hypercam just seems like a ...

Aye aye. things will start to get interesting when there are more people building real projects and applications on it. Flare's gone really far...

I believe it doesnt search beyond a line. You got it right i am searching to replace a chunk of text in the source code. Replacing a paragraph of 'content' text isn't a problem.

Look at it this way, Flare is a great product with 'depth' as, mr guy kawasaki would say about what makes great products.
Lets just hope and pray they can continue to make more good decisions than bad ones, never stop lookin for opportunities to innovate and to work with their legions of fans.

I discovered recently that I would like to replace a block of text (code) in Flare. Unfortunately the search and replace is a line by line searcher. It doesn't search more than up to the EOL (end of line). So i wouldn't be able to create a regular expression to replace a block of text. alas.

I think there's a skins download section on this site under Downloads > Skins

Other stuff would be nice would be custom Stylesheets, custom Snippets, even custom script hacks (if there is a need for these things). I can be sure madcap support is checking this site out and probably working on a ...

I'm going to have to set some time aside to look at that site properly, I've looked at it twice and couldn't follow it!

Have a look at the examples.

I like the look of a lot of that, esp Team Server and X-Edit.

The relationship between X-Edit and X-Edit Express isn't too clear.
X-Edit Express says it's "free", but I'm not sure if that means it's free in the sense that I can download it and use it with my Flare projects (without either me or my ...

Brilliant little piece.

More more more more.

Regular expressions and wildcard documentation required.

Anyway since there aren't much writeup's about this, have a look at this. Its very usable in Flare for Search and Replace

I'll do some research into this and keep the forums updated.

Nonetheless you're right. Its a choice of the best representation method. To represent as a captured image or as a Math Markup Language.

Looks like no one in the forums has encountered this yet. Thanks!

I would like to insert mathematical divisions and multiplies, displayed in the correct mathetical form and expression. I could write it all down in one line i.e thisvar * thatvar((thisvar/thatvar)*100%)
