Speaker: Mike Hamilton
Time: 1:30 PM - 5:00 PM   Date: November 1
Track: Post-Conference Workshops
Experience level: All levels
Laptop computer required for this session

The first hour of this session will be a high level overview of just what CSS means to the modern author and its importance and role in the evolving world of XML based content. Following this overview, specific techniques for controlling the look and feel of Flare published content will be presented. The demonstration will include techniques for using CSS for online and for print publishing with maximum control.

While primarily targeted at using CSS within the MadCap Flare authoring environment this session will also provide a good grounding on general CSS information for authors using any tool chain.
