Description of Help & Manual
Help+Manual is the most popular authoring tool for writing and publishing help and technical documentation in multiple formats.
While it is as easy to use like Word, Help+Manual gives you the full power of a true WYSIWYG XML editor. You can focus your energy on writing and immediately get productive!
This is combined with powerful features for editing documentation files, including full support for multimedia and complex modular projects. Some of the power features are:
► Multi-channel publishing - this includes all standard Windows help formats, from Microsoft HTML Help to Webhelp to Visual Studio Help, Adobe PDF, Microsoft Word documents and ePUB e-books - the standard format supported by the Apple iPad - as well as Amazon Kindle.
► Responsive Webhelp - Webhelp is a context-sensitive format and allows seamless integration of the documentation into your website. This output format can be highly customized and displays equally well on desktop and mobile devices.
► True single source - all publishing formats supported by Help+Manual are generated from the same project. This means you only have to edit your help and documentation once. Forget about the nightmare of "converting" your documentation every time you change anything.
► Multi-user editing and team authoring - multiple authors can work on the same project at the same time. No databases or additional server components are required.
► Version control, remote editing - Help+Manual has active support for Subversion, Microsoft Team Foundation Server and Microsoft Visual SourceSafe compatibles.
► Translation - projects are 100% XML and can be translated directly by tools like SDL Trados (configuration files are included).
