has a little help icon in the top right corner that opens a new window
containing the documentation. This documentation is browseable by contents,
index, or search. Also, if I was on the datasources page for instance,
clicking on the help icon would take me directly to the documentation on
datasources.
Does anybody know how Macromedia has implemented the CFMX help system? Is
is RoboHelp or something else?
Thanks

DocBook does that too (html and pdf), but RoboHelp does do Flash and
some other quite spiffy things and seems to integrate into other
programs. However, he was looking for something other then RoboHelp
because it's too expensive. You said you used to use RoboHelp (man I
keep thinking of RoboCop everytime I see it), what do you use now?
