Location: Jönköping, Sweden                In my WE app I need some help 
pages that the user can glance at if needed.
Does anyone have a suggestion on how to create simple help pages for 
integration in a WE app?
I would prefer not using PDF. Any apps out there that generate help pages in 
HTML?
For Mac..

an awesome tool).

It can create Word, PDF, CHM and HTML.

There are some limitations but I use it exclusively for technical writing, 
software manuals and instructional booklets.

I have done that one in one of my Web app but it is developed in Asp.net 4.0. 
I will tell you the concept may be its will help you.

In application, my logic is like in the top of the every page i just add a help 
menu link. when user click in the help menu link a small pop up window will 
display. In that window i dynamic changed the corresponding images, text and 
its flow how the user should know the exact/proper use.

Sound like a good way to do it
