Easy
like a word processor, yet much more powerful
Help+Manual is a
documentation tool and content management system for both single and
multi-author editing.
While it is as
easy to use like a normal word processor, Help+Manual gives you the full power
of a true WYSIWYG XML editor.
All the tools you
need are at your fingertips in a single intuitive environment, and the program
handles all the complex, technical aspects of the process for you. Instead of
wasting countless hours "programming" your help you can focus all your energy on
actually writing your documentation, so that all your working time is productive
time.
Features
:
Help+Manual publishes all standard Windows help formats, from HTML Help to
Webhelp to Visual Studio Help. It also generates Adobe PDF, Microsoft Word files
and ePUB e-books, the standard format supported by the Apple iPad.
Windows help formats
Windows HTML Help (.chm) is the platform-specific format for all Windows
applications including .Net. Help+Manual creates CHM files as well as MSHC, a
special help format for integration into Microsoft VisualStudio.
Webhelp
The Webhelp publishing format includes a table of contents, keyword index and
full-text search. Webhelp is context-sensitive and allows seamless integration
into your website. This output format can be highly customized and supports
jQuery plugins for animations of non-static content.
Adobe PDF
PDF output and print manuals are fully customizable with the bundled Print
Manual Designer program: include a table of contents and a keyword index,
automatic page referrers for links and cross-references, customized page
layouts, headers, footers, page numbering, covers, introductions and more.
iPad Publishing
With the Apple iPad, e-books have become mainstream. Help+Manual publishes the
the standard ePUB e-book format optimized for iPad, iPhone, the Nook Reader and
other e-reading devices.
How Help & Manual works:
All the output 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.
Generate all Windows help formats
You can output your projects to all standard Windows help formats (HTML Help, Winhelp and MS Help 2.0 / Visual Studio Help), and since Help & Manual is directly integrated with the Microsoft compilers for these formats all your output is 100% standard-compliant.

Help & Manual also generates Browser-based Help, PDF and Word RTF. In addition
to this you can generate fully-formatted printed manuals directly from the same
projects used for all the other formats.
The Browser-based Help output for web use includes a full menu structure that
emulates the appearance and functionality of HTML Help and includes full-text
search with highlighting for found words.
PDF output and printed manuals are fully customizable with the bundled Print
Manual Designer program: You can include a table of contents and a keyword
index, automatic page referrers for links and cross-references, customized page
layouts, headers, footers, page numbering, covers, introductions and more.
All languages of this world
This world is a big place and localization becomes ever more important. Help & Manual lets you create documentation in up to 106 languages. It is one of the few help authoring tools that fully support Unicode and can handle languages like Japanese, Chinese, Korean and many others.

Easy migration
One of the most critical tasks is to migrate existing documentation when you switch to another tool. And this has never been easier than now. Help & Manual imports regular HTML and text files, compiled HTML Help, Word files (RTF format), Winhelp source files and even decompiles HLP files.
