Tool tribalism creates drift you can't bridge by hand
You've tried making developers write in Flare. Failed: they won't leave their IDE. You've tried abandoning Flare for Markdown and lost reuse, conditions, and PDF quality. The gap is real.
Manual copy-paste between Markdown and Flare creates errors. Versions diverge. Migration projects from Markdown to Flare take weeks. You shouldn't have to choose between docs-as-code and structured authoring. The right tool for each contributor wins.
Migrate an entire Markdown repo into Flare in a single session, not three weeks
The Markdown Plugin imports Markdown into Flare as properly structured topics, not raw HTML. Auto-generates TOCs from folder structure. Handles standard Markdown, GitHub Flavored Markdown, and extended syntax. Code samples become MadCap snippets. Local links become cross-references. Conditions and metadata preserved.
Then exports back to clean Markdown for Git workflows. Developers contribute where they live. Writers govern where they need to. One source of truth, two formats served, zero copy-paste in between.

2-Minute Demo
The Markdown plugin is a game changer for me. By moving our content to Markdown, we can feed our support portal CMS while still generating high-quality PDFs from Flare. But most importantly, it also helps democratize content maintenance beyond the increasingly limited pool of tech writers with Flare expertise. And Mattias' responsiveness to questions and issues is simply the best I have ever seen in the software business.
Common Questions
Will this work with our Flare setup?
Markdown Plugin works with MadCap Flare 2020 and later on Windows. Import creates proper Flare topics with TOC entries, not raw HTML.
What Markdown does it support?
Standard Markdown, GitHub Flavored Markdown, and extended syntax. Code samples can import as MadCap snippets, local links become cross-references, and conditions and metadata are preserved.
How long does a migration take?
A single file imports in seconds. Teams migrating large Markdown repositories typically complete the import in one session instead of weeks of manual conversion.
Be the team that finally solved the docs-as-code vs structured authoring war.
