Hi Dan,

For the Whitebox GAT project, I've been using html with ccs for formating and 
create the help files in Komodo Edit. It's quite a simple approach but find 
that I can create quite nice help entries in this way. I can embed graphics, 
equations, links to other help entries, etc. Using ccs allows me to make style 
changes quickly. The other nice thing about this approach is that I can very 
easily embed the help entry for each tool in the tool's dialog box, so the user 
has no excuse for not reading the help! I can also use the same files for the 
online version of Whitebox's help 
(http://www.uoguelph.ca/~hydrogeo/Whitebox/Help/MainHelp.html). Perhaps there 
are better solutions (with dedicated help creation programs) but this is the 
solution that seems to work best for me.
