Hello all.  I have a similar situation as Rene Stephenson in the last set of 
messages.

My R&D team requires XML output for dynamic help and normal online help.  Our 
product is mature and the dynamic help is a selling feature.  Our engineers 
would like to be able to edit the dynamic help files.

R&D and the previous writer both used Altova XML Spy to edit and create the 
dynamic help and online help.  We are looking at transitioning to Robohelp 9 to 
create and maintain the help so that we can have a more writer-friendly tool as 
well as meet our product needs.

Does anyone know if:


1.       Robohelp 9 creates mappings?  I can get help with mappings if needed 
from R&D to create XSLT mappings from database, word, excel, xml to virtually 
any format.  Does XML generated from RoboHelp 9 need mappings, so that all R&D 
would need to do is run a script to create the help?


2.       Can Dynamic help files created in XML Spy be incorporated into 
RoboHelp 9 and generated in the same output files?  Alternatively, I can ask 
R&D to write dynamic help in Word and I will put them in RoboHelp 9.



3.       I am planning on creating a test environment for the help with a few 
sample files in RoboHelp 9 and see if the output will work with our product.  
Has anyone had any issues with generated XML from Robohelp 9 when hooking it 
into a .NET application?

Thank you!
