Subject:Single-Sourcing Online and Printed Documentation From:lightspeedchick -at- yahoo -dot- com To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Sun, 12 Jan 2003 16:26:42 -0700
I am trying to convince a small, inexperienced documentation team that it
is a bad idea to simply print out the online help files to produce
manuals.
I am looking for arguments to defend this point.
I would appreciate it if someone could refer me to articles that explain
the differences in tone and content of online and printed documentation.
Thank you
Marie-Jo
