Editing the XHTML Code
You don't need to know XHTML or HTML to work in Flare Desktop. The XML Editor displays content just as you might expect to see it in an editor such as Microsoft Word. However, you can get behind the display to work in the actual code if you want. This is done in the Text Editor (or in another editor that supports XML). To do this, open the topic as usual, then at the bottom of the XML Editor, click the Text Editor tab.
The XML Editor and the Text Editor are closely synchronized with each other. They can be shown in a single window with options for viewing both at the same time and configuring their appearance.
Note Although it is possible to open any Flare files in a third-party editor, it is recommended that you avoid editing these files in certain programs while Flare Desktop is running. For example, opening a stylesheet in Notepad++ is not an issue. But you might experience problems if you open a topic or snippet in Microsoft Word and edit it while Flare Desktop is running.
