TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Web Help is eHelp's version of such help. Quadralay's version is called
WebWorks Help. These incorporate bookmarks/table of contents, a technology
that us unsupported by HTML and for which such vendors use Java or
JavaScript. However, Quadralay and, I'm sure, eHelp, and others, offer pure
HTML solutions. Quadralay, for example, lets you create HTML help that is
either HTML 3.2 or HTML 4.0 compliant.
