MadCap Flare is a comprehensive, XML-based content authoring and multi-channel publishing application for technical and knowledge-based content. It is designed to help organizations create, manage, and publish content across multiple delivery formats, including web, mobile, print, and desktop. Flare's features allow users to create and manage their content in a single source, apply content reuse, and customize the look and feel of their content with skins, master pages, and templates. It also supports single sourcing, meaning that the same content can be used for multiple outputs, such as multiple languages. Other features of Flare include integration with popular development tools, such as Microsoft Visual Studio, and a powerful search engine that allows users to quickly find information within their content. It also offers built-in analytics to help track usage and measure performance. Finally, Flare is integrated with MadCap Central, a cloud-based platform that allows teams to collaborate on projects, manage versions, and publish content to multiple destinations.
Discontinued The latest version, 0.3, released in February 2005, can still be downloaded from the official website.
