Great, you make it seem easy

I am following your videos from France for my University project.

i want to create and edit a .xml file and inside write pure xml code in madcap flare. can you help me regarding this.

I'm in a situation where my HTML5 output is having to be run through an importer before being published online. The programmer I'm working with directly is happy to let us give her the final stylesheets generated in Flare output; she can then use anything so long as it doesn't break anything in the simple template the company is using. Can styles like Madcap:DropdownHead still work, or does that functionality depend on using the output straight from Flare?

Do you provide any provision to migrate oxygen DITA topics to MadcapFlare html file?

Awesome, I've been waiting for this improvement for a long time! ✨

I think I was deleting my comment as you were answering it. You mentioned you make "cheat sheets". I am trying to create Quick Reference Cards - 1 page PDF about 1 short topic but pulling in from the main content. Is there a video about that? I thought I had seen one but can. no longer find it anywhere.

Hi, How can I get my embedded multimedia (CZcams videos, in this example) to be published to Zendesk? The <object> gets stripped out.

You could do with slowing this down a little bit.

I did all that, but nothing has changed in the editor window. The heading is still the same colour. What am I doing wrong?

Why is this so long?? Why not put each concept into it's only elearning? Crikasaurus! Playbar be darned, too. long.

I get asked this question so often by new writers. Now, I can simply point them to this video. Thanks!

Thank you, it's really nice to get more information, so I can decide, wich way is the best for my elearning project.

I have created a dropDown with a class (dropDown.Second), and a dropDownHead with the same class (dropDownHead.Second). Can I set the dropDown so that when I create it, it uses the same class dropDownHead? Currently, it uses the default dropDown.

Thanks for breaking it down so clearly! I'm excited to implement this in my documentation projects. 🚀

How can I bring in a single folder? My projects contain maybe a hundred manuals sorted by folder. I just want to bring in a single folder of content and its Graphics folder that is within it. How can I bring in the folder? Wildcards like FolderName\*.* doesn't work for me.

Hey, could we get a video explaining how indexing works? Like, taking us through all the steps of creating index terms, lists, etc.? Thanks!

Great series of videos. I hate git, but it’s a necessary evil. One thing you don’t mention but really should: Always commit before switching branches; you’ll lose uncommitted changes if you don’t. Ideally you should save/pull/commit/synchronise, but the commit is the most important thing.

Audio and video don't seem to be aligned.

How can I close a dropdown automatically when I open other dropdown?

What is the difference between applying styles and "grouping". I almost always fall apart particularly with lists and sequential items. Should I assign the number list and then the style? Because I can't see the style beforehand 😕

Hi Paul, thank you for this series of videos. It helped me a lot to understand the possibilities of using Source Control in my Flare projects. It took a while to watch all these videos, but I got a lot of useful information.

Been using the link viewer for years. I never noticed the lock feature. That is going to save me a lot of time. Thanks MC for this series!

Thank you for this!

Lity is working in my Flare project. I wish Flare would improve its video component. We host our videos on our own web server, yet Flare refuses any value except CZcams? Ridiculous and not fair!

Excellent information and well-structured.

Thank you for the excellent video. It would have been good to look more indepth into the advanced conditional text example shown briefly towards the end of the presentation, but altogether a really good, instructional video (from someone who already knew the basics and has been using Conditions, Snippets and Variables a lot)

As a management professor I'm very impressed with your holistic lesson you shared. This is incredibly actionable guidance. Bravo!!

Have you looked into providing SCORM as a export?

Can I ask for help? I am working with an API doc project and struggling to add a code snippet to a drop-down. It actually adds and works on preview but when published HTML 5 looks weird with a huge space placed before the code drop-down. Ideally, I would like to get the UI you demonstrated but cannot find the needed instructions in any tutorial or video. Can you point me in the right direction?

Anyone list the pros and cons of Central for tech docs at the reviewing stage compared to distributing a PDF or Word doc, controlled by a Version Control System?

Good shirt and great info.

I watch these videos to try to gain information, and always find them a bit frustrating, the three minutes of ramble could be eliminated completely. The videos could be scripted instead of free form to make them more structured. I appreciate Paul's effort for sure, but these really could be much better, and please, please much shorter!

Did you cover automated suggestions in this video? If so, please could you give a shortcut/timestamp?

I would these videos more helpful if the Paul would get to the point quicker. If this video he talks for 3 minutes without teaching anything. It's the same in all of his videos.

This is frustrating. I need to know how to link a file, and I'm having to watch an HOUR LONG MOVIE? Bro. I got work to do.

Can we please be able to download all the files used in this video series? This could include the project files, its dependencies and the PDFs used and PDF output. I would love to experiment with it and also show my Management, plus Marketing and Support, what is possible.

Is there any way we can obtain the file PDF-VideoMockupTemplates_02-28-2023_Specs.pdf that was featured in this video please?

I would suggest that you show some example PDF documents made with this application's features. Also at the start of each introduction of the successive video topics preview what will be created over the course of that video as a learning objective.
