I use Lyx here, exporting to PDF with thumbnails, automatic TOC etc.
Same here. I use OO for work for technical documentation, and that
experience convinced me to stay with LyX/LateX privately. :-)
I'm well pleased with the results. The two things that I've not worked out
are (a) how to thread a sequence of sections into an article (with multiple
articles in the overall document) and (b) how to tell a reader to start at
a given article.
Don't use an article, but use a book. A book has parts.
And a set of articles can chain sections together in different ways. Both have
advantages.
If the reader could be told to start in a specific place it would make PDF
a viable helpfile format.
See Michael's mail. Of course the API would have to work on *nix too.
Exactly, and somebody stubborn like me who persists in using a non-x86 CPU is
really left out in the cold. HTML looks like the winner but I still don't know
if htmlhelp can jump to the middle of a document.
