Subject:Can i do this in RoboHelp X5? From:woman with_catz <jlarnopolin -at- sbcglobal -dot- net> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Tue, 11 May 2004 08:01:17 -0700 (PDT)
Here's a sort of complicated question for all you
RoboHelp experts out there. First, the background.
I have a suite of products, 5 to be exact, for which I
want to produce online help, or rather online
documentation. There will be NO context sensitive
help and the documentation won't be hooked into the
products other than possibly via F1 to call up the TOC
for a specific product. The products share a lot of
common features and I'd like to document the shared
features once and be able to call or link to them from
each product manual.
Now, the questions. Can I use RHX5 to produce all 6
books, including an administrator's guide? If I want
to produce 6 books, should each one be a separate RH
project? Can I jump between projects? Do I need to
create a master.cnt in order to link the books
together? Finally, is there a better tool for this
than Robohelp?
Any and all suggestions/help is greatly appreciated!
Regards,
