December 11, 2018 Meeting - at Fortinet

Thanks to Peter and Andrew for hosting us at VISA last month - and thanks for the million dollar view.

Welcome to Nalini - thanks for coming and we enjoyed hearing your story. You bring another perspective of Flare and can teach us all something.

We are combining the November and December meetings to accommodate various schedules.

This month, we are going to have a guest speaker! Someone from MadCap (probably Jennifer Morse!) will come talk to us about setting up various search options, including searching multiple projects. As soon as I find out who is coming, I will let you know. It should be a great meeting.

September 2018 meeting

We had a lively discussion during our September meeting, going around the room and seeing a demo of what everyone was working on. We didn't get a recording of this meeting - which is too bad. But I promise we will have our act together for October.

Rumor has it that we might be meeting at Visa. We will let you know as soon as we can.

- Kate

Demo - January Meeting - Formatting styles, using Attributes

S V McFug now has a YouTube channel!

A video of the demo is now on YouTube.

I only posted the Flare demo portion, because the entire meeting was a little long for a recording, and because the crosstalk made it difficult to understand what was going on. 

But we got this! Here is a demo on using the Formatting Window - which is an easy way to adjust your stylesheets without getting buried in the CSS. Also a demo on using Attributes, and how Flare handles them.
