Flare 8.0 Publishing Software Adds New HTML5 Web Output, EPUB Format for eBooks, Enhanced PDFs, and New Ribbon UI for Easier, More Intuitive Access to Flare's Rich Functionality La Jolla, CA, USA – March 1, 2012 – MadCap Software, Inc. The leader in multi-channel content authoring and a showcase company for Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) Visual Studio and Microsoft XPS, today announced the launch of MadCap Flare 8.0.

Flare is the industry's leading technical authoring application for publishing online Help, knowledge bases, policy and procedure manuals, user manuals, and other forms of content. Only MadCap Flare lets authors create a single project and then directly publish it in multiple formats optimized for the Web, mobile devices, desktops, and print publishing-without the need for any additional tools. MadCap Flare 8.0 builds on MadCap's innovation in single-source publishing to print and online channels with the addition of HTML5 Web output, EPUB eBook output, and enhanced PDF print functionality. Additionally, Flare 8.0 features a new Microsoft-style ribbon user interface (UI) that captures the look and feel of modern applications, such as Microsoft Office 2010. The new, intuitive UI helps to reduce the learning curve and facilitate access to the broad range of powerful features within Flare. 'Our customers recognize the strategic value of letting readers choose the way they receive content, whether it's in print, on the Web, on desktops, or on their mobile devices. Only Flare delivers on that demand by allowing authors to create a single project and then directly publish to it to any of these channels,' said Anthony Olivier, MadCap founder and CEO.

'Flare 8.0 takes this leadership to a new level by becoming the only publishing application to offer modern HTML5 Web output, a choice between mobile Web and eBook formats for their mobile devices, and rich PDF print functionality.' In conjunction with Flare 8.0, MadCap also is launching the newest version of its MadPak technical communications suite. The MadPak suite features six products to provide an integrated approach to content workflow. The newest MadPak version includes Flare 8.0, MadCap Contributor 4.0 for collaborative authoring and reviewing, MadCap Analyzer 5.0 for analyzing and improving documentation, and MadCap Capture 6.0 for image capture and graphics editing, which all launched today. Additionally, the MadPak includes MadCap Mimic 6.0 for publishing software simulation movies, video and audio, and MadCap Lingo 5.0 to facilitate and streamline the process of translating and localizing content.

For more information, see the press release on MadPak also dated March 5, 2012. Modern HTML5 Browser-based Help With Version 8.0, MadCap Flare delivers a new Web output format that supports the HTML5 standard, providing significant enhancements in appearance, usability and searchability. The new look and feel is consistent with modern browser UIs, such as Google Chrome, and the output is completely customizable so that authors can match the look and feel of their websites and portals. Significantly, HTML5 output is completely frameless, which allows search engines to crawl through the content and index topic pages. This represents a major advance over other vendors' traditional 'framed' content in WebHelp where the Help content is essentially invisible to search engines. HTML5 output in Flare 8.0 facilitates search engine optimization (SEO) to simplify users' searches and improve the Help system's visibility with search engines.

To further enhance search visibility and SEO, Flare 8.0 automatically generates an XML sitemap for all Web outputs, and it allows authors to add metadata tags to topics. 'When we got to look at the new features that are included in Flare 8.0-mainly the HTML5 output that includes full topic URLs and frameless output, and the enhanced searching interface and functionality-we were sold and immediately renewed our maintenance plans,' said Kadan Bradley, technical writer, Adaptive Computing.
