MadCap Flare

[Callie Bertsche]

Hi Framers, 
Due to frustration using ePublisher Pro and the coding learning curve of
Mif2Go, we are seriously considering switching help generation software
to MadCap Flare. I know I've generated chatter about this before, so I'm
sorry if this feels repetitive; but can I get any more input from anyone
who uses Flare with FrameMaker (7.2) to generate extensive
single-sourced material? More words of caution or advice? I've evaluated
the software to a fair extent and it seems capable; I'm really excited
that it can generate help from the command line. But because it's a
younger product, I would really value any more input from others who
have taken the plunge.
 
I generate thousands of pages into about 22 manuals and 3 online help
bundles. Currently ePP 9.1, Frame 7.2, WebWorks help output. My primary
concern in upgrading to the newer ePP was the glitch where it randomly
skips filename markers in the output, leaving me without random pages
that I need (I've heard that they've fixed it, but I've also heard that
it didn't work for at least one user), as well as the glee that
producing help from the command line would give me.
 
Cheers,
Callie
