Multi-Channel Publishing
Flexible And Future-Proof
WHAT? WHY?
With Flare, you will never be locked into a proprietary system:
Multi-channel publishing allows you to publish your content to many different output formats, all from a single Flare project.
Deliver multiple format types to your end users at very little incremental cost, while streamlining content delivery.
Flare is built on open standards with support for XML, CSS, and HTML, all designed to keep your content completely open, transparent, and accessible.
All Flare files are separate XHTML, XML, or CSS documents—topics, TOCs, browse sequences, targets, skins, snippets, glossaries, destinations, condition tag sets, variable sets, and more—meaning they can be opened in any editor, including Notepad. Files and topics can even be programmatically created outside of Flare and copied into the Flare project structure to be used instantly by Flare.
Flare content conforms to industry standard schema requirements from the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Flare’s code adheres to the W3C XHTML Schema specification, making it easy to integrate with other XML or XHTML applications.
