What are people using these days for writing application help? (someone
writes help don't they?)

 

Over the years I've had HDK for old HLP files, then RoboHelp for CHM files,
then I used FrontPage and the hc.exe for CHM files. Sometimes I've just
written a Word document and converted it to one big PDF.

 

The H2(?) format used by local MSDN help was proprietary and we couldn't use
that.

 

Now HLP files are long dead and CHM files seem to be causing security
warnings and falling out of favour. Although some big vendors like
ComponentOne are still supplying CHM files.

 

So overall, I'm totally confused by the current directions in help file
authoring for .NET developers. Is anyone here on top of this issue and has
recommendations?

 

Cheers, Greg
