The Journey from DITA-Based Software to MadCap Flare: A Case Study with CM Labs
Wednesday, November 7, 10:00 AM PST / 1:00 PM EST
Presented by: Vrej Hezaran, Technical Writer | CM Labs Jennifer Morse, Director, Product Evangelism | MadCap Software, Inc.
CM Labs is a leading provider of simulation-based solutions that help clients design advanced equipment and prepare for skilled operations. In the past, CM Labs used software based on the Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) XML-based open standard to produce its online Help system. Get a look at how CM Labs now delivers modern documentation with MadCap Flare, integrating features such as responsive HTML5 outputs and Google-style search. In this free webinar, Vrej Hezaran of CM Labs will share how the migration led to a more streamlined and efficient approach to creating and publishing content.
Interactive Wizards in MadCap Flare
Thursday, December 13, 10:00 AM PST / 1:00 PM EST
Presented by: Eloise Lewis, Senior Technical Author | JHC Systems LTD.
Do you want to make your user assistance a more interactive experience? Guide users through a complex task? Offer an advanced troubleshooting tool? In this webinar, Eloise Lewis looks at how to create a click-through wizard within your MadCap Flare project for HTML5 Top Navigation outputs. Learn how wizards can be used in a whole range of scenarios, including (but not limited to) stepping users through a complex task and helping users select the correct tool. With the use of a few tags, some CSS and a little JavaScript, you too can transform your static content into a dynamic, user-led story.
This webinar is adapted from a presentation originally presented during MadWorld Europe 2018.
