HelpSmith - Help Authoring
Complete help authoring tool to create CHM HTML Help files, Web Help systems, Printed Manuals, Adobe PDF documents, Microsoft Word documents, and ePub eBooks from a single source.
If you are looking for a help authoring tool to create a CHM help file, online Web Help system, or PDF manual, you can consider HelpSmith which provides a rich feature-set from the powerful word processor to write help topics, to the built-in screenshot tool with the possibility to create help for dialog windows automatically.
The key features of HelpSmith include the possibility to produce multiple help formats from a single source including HTML Help, Web Help, Printable Manual, PDF, and MS Word documents, a word-processor with dynamic styles and spell checker to write help topics, TOC and Index tools, a single project-level repository to manage image and video files, user-editable variables, and rich customization possibilities including ready design themes for topic templates, and for the web help system layout.
With HelpSmith, you can create help files not only by typing the content manually, but also by importing existing documents including MS Word files, HTML files, compiled CHM help files, and MS HTML Help Workshop projects (.HHP).
In addition, you can use the powerful Image Tool that allows you to take screenshots and create documentation for the captured windows automatically.
For experienced technical writers, HelpSmith provides flexible possibilities for conditional compilation allowing you to produce different versions of the same help file for multiple audiences of users.
It should be pointed out, that a help file or Web Help system can be easily integrated with your application or website, so you can provide context-sensitive help by exporting the topic list to a header file compatible with your IDE such as C#, VB.NET, Delphi, C++, MS Office VBA.
