FlareLint scans a MadCap Flare project for adherence to your style rules then displays a report in your preferred web browser. It’s like picking the lint off your sweater, only more fun. Build projects faster and more consistently.
Use the FlareLint report to make sure that your content, and the rest
of your project, will give consistent output and won’t delay
production. For example, FlareLint reports when a topic does not start
with an h1
element.
FlareLint works independently of Flare. It inspects source files in Flare projects directly and does not rely on Flare’s output. FlareLint does not modify your Flare project or its source files. You don’t have to open a project in Flare or build a Flare target before using FlareLint.
Note: This is the official version of FlareLint, ready to use for the ordinary tech writer.
This version has a completely new way for defining rules. There is no need for you to learn Python programming to customize rules. You can create and modify rules using a simple, straightforward language. (You still need to Python to install and run the Flarelint app.) More details
