Welcome Back to MadCap Software, a returning TECHWR-L Platinum Sponsor

MadCap Software, a renewing Platinum-level TECHWR-L Sponsor, provides an integrated suite of tools for content authoring, single-sourcing, and multi-channel publishing. As a Platinum sponsor, MadCap Software is instrumental in providing you with TECHWR-L.

MadCap Software, headquartered in San Diego, CA, and including the former developers of RoboHelp, is just a new name for a group of   familiar faces that have been leading the technical writing community for over a decade.

The MadCap team leverages years of experience in the content authoring and publishing industries to focus on providing a full work-flow solution - not just a collection of tools. From the reuse of your legacy content in various formats, to the creation of new content, to the use of modern media assets, to a powerful publishing system, MadCap Software provides end-to-end content development, delivery and management tools to support those needs.

MadCap Software has developed the only documentation architecture that treats all documentation processes-authoring and publishing of text and multimedia, collaboration, analysis, and translation and localization-as a single workflow. It is the only documentation suite that is based on a native XML architecture. As a result, the reusability and integration associated with leading-edge software development has been translated into first-of-its-kind reusability and integration in documentation.  

It is this architecture that allows MadCap's software to support the single-source, multi-channel content publishing needs of today's documentation professionals, who must communicate across the Internet, private intranets, CDs, and print and more-in readers' languages of choice.

Already thousands of companies are customers of MadCap's native XML software.

Sponsors like Madcap Software provide the support that keeps TECHWR-L going, and we greatly appreciate them! Please support them in any way that you can.

MadCap Blaze: a new publishing powerhouse?

By Geoff Hart


For many years, Microsoft’s Word and Adobe’s Framemaker have been the two main competitors for the hearts and dollars of technical writers. Word offered the benefit of low cost and ubiquity (it ships with most computers these days), and although not optimized for use with large documents, it has generally proven to be up to the challenge, particularly with the overall document split into a collection of smaller documents. (Avoid the "master document" feature; it's badly broken, and using it runs a serious risk of corrupting all the associated documents. http://word.mvps.org/fAQs/General/WhyMasterDocsCorrupt.htm) Word also offers unparalleled revision tracking tools, which is a boon to workers who must submit their manuscripts to an editor or peer reviewer for revision. Frame, on the other hand, has traditionally offered a superb ability to work with huge documents with nary a glitch, but until recently, lacked the user interface refinements offered by Word, and in particular, lacked truly useful revision tracking tools until Version 8.


In 2008, MadCap software threw their hat into the long-document ring by introducing Blaze (http://madcapsoftware.com/products/blaze/). With this announcement, MadCap hoped to do for long-document publishing what they’d already done for Help authoring with Flare (http://madcapsoftware.com/products/flare/): give Adobe and Microsoft a serious run for their money. Combining Frame’s long-document proficiency with Word 2007's underlying XML data structure and high-quality revision tracking tools, Blaze seems to be a perfect solution for producing a variety of online and printed outputs from a single source. (For true single-sourcing, you'd need to be able to produce Help files too. Fortunately, you can open the Blaze files directly in Flare and perform the necessary manipulations in that software.) In this review, I’ll introduce you to Blaze, and give you enough information to help you decide whether Adobe and Microsoft should be losing any sleep—and whether you should consider switching.
