Suite or standalone

Capable Formatting is sold on its own, and it is also one capability inside the Capable Suite. The macros are the same code either way.

Three things differ, and one of them changes what you type into the macro picker.


#What differs

Standalone app

In the suite

Macro names

Usually adds the word macro: "Cards macro (Capable)"

"Cards (Capable)"

PDF and Word export

Four macros

Seven macros

The byline

A Formatting byline item of its own

The shared Capable byline

Other capabilities

Includes links, numbered headings and word count

Those are separate capabilities


#Two real wording differences

  • LaTeX math inline in the suite is LaTeX inline in the standalone app, dropping the word math entirely.

  • Capable Studio is the only macro with no (Capable) suffix in either product.

Seven newer macros are named identically in both: Embed/iFrame, 3D Model, Status badge, Countdown, Countdown inline, Metadata and Poll. See Capable for Confluence for what else the suite adds.


#A few things worth knowing

  • The export difference is the one with real consequences. Check the export matrix before promising a PDF.

  • Content is not shared between the standalone app and the suite. Moving across is a migration.

  • Both products get the same macro updates at the same time.
