I have a project written with DoctoHelp and would like to convert it to Flare. Is this easily done? Do you know of any issues I may run into. Is it worth it?
Thanks for your input.

Re: Convert a DoctoHelp project to Flare
Easily? NOT!
Any conversion from another HAT product is almost always labor-intensive, particularly if the documentation source is heavily formatted and has been worked on by some less-than-accomplished writers.
Make a copy and test converting it, to see what needs to be cleaned up in the source (this might involve several dozen iterations). And if you don't have a good utility for finding/replacing code in html files, go to http://helpware.net/FAR/help/hh_start.htm and buy HelpWare's FAR product; it's the best!
Good luck,
Leon
