Ouputting a topic to XML format

Article #:XML1003F Product: Flare Version: All 

 

Summary:

How do I output XML from Flare?

Solution:

There is a common misconception that the only way to get XML is from an "output". This may be true with older/outdated tools like RoboHelp, but Flare works natively on XML files. The topics you edit in Flare are constantly being  validated against the required schema (XHTML for all versions) so outputs are reserved for compiled or generated systems to be delivered to customers or clients. If you need access to the raw, valid, XML documents, for archival purposes or to share with another team, then just copy your source topic files and smile knowing that you are working natively in an XML environment.
