RE: Tools for Online Help

["Gordon McLean" <Gordon -dot- McLean -at- GrahamTechnology -dot- com>]

Wow. It's one thing being passionate about something Yves, another to send
someone who has stated they find RoboHelp "very overwhelming" a list of
links to DITA. 

Yes *I* know you can use DITA as part of an online help publishing system
but maybe consider the audience of the question next time?

Michael - when you say "online help" to what do you refer? It's entirely
possible to create HTML pages that are organised and have a table of
contents, without using a help authoring tool.
