HelpStudio is a Help Authoring tool to aid you in the production of HTML based on-line help and PDF Booklets.
HelpStudio allows you to concentrate on developing help content by automatically laying out generated Topics in a consistent and professional style. This template based approach to help development makes it easy to change and evolve the look and feel of your help project without requiring any rework in the help content itself.
HelpStudio can import existing HTML files, HTML Help 1.x Projects, Microsoft Help 2.x Projects, RoboHelp Projects and Word Documents.
Output Formats
HelpStudio can generate:
All outputs are generated from XML and XHTML based content.
What is generated
HelpStudio generates a comprehensive set of HTML files, optionally compiled into an HTML Help 1.x, Microsoft Help 2.x or Microsoft Help Viewer file. Generated content includes:
Standard look and feel
The standard templates shipped with HelpStudio reflect the current Microsoft standard for technical documentation in order to provide a consistent and familiar style and layout. Your end users will feel immediately at home with the documentation you create.
Templates can be fully customized (including the Table of Contents, Page Type and style, color schemes etc.) without having to rework content.
