Paul, I thought you dropped off the face of the earth, but now I see you’re busy writing a guide to Flare. Awesome to hear about that. I’ll email you offline about some Flare styles info.

I’ve written a couple of Excel Pivot Table Recipes books in this style, and there are challenges, as you mentioned. But I’ve spent several years answering questions in Excel newsgroups, so the style was comfortable for me.
The layout also makes it easy for readers to skim through, and find the information they need, or learn new techniques.
