ANNOUNCE: Release of Doc-To-Help 2009 from ComponentOne

ComponentOne Doc-To-Help, a renewing Gold-level TECHWR-L
Sponsor, is the premier authoring and publishing tool in the
market and sets the standard as the industry leader. For the
past seventeen years, Doc-To-Help has been built upon solid
code, innovation, and rigid quality assurance testing making
it what it is today.

With the release of ComponentOne Doc-To-Help 2009 on
September 19, 2008, they introduced a built-in XML-based
editor, a tool for embedding dynamic Help in applications,
and many new authoring features. Authors today recognize the
benefits of XML-based authoring when creating re-usable,
portable, and formatted content. XML-based authoring has
traditionally come with its setbacks since it requires
specialized knowledge. Doc-To-Help 2009 lifts this
constraint by providing a built-in editor for XML-based
authoring.  With this new editor, you can work in an
easy-to-use authoring interface while enjoying Microsoft
Word-like style formatting. Doc-To-Help automatically
creates standards compliant XML and CSS files as you write.

ComponentOne Doc-To-Helps advanced technology is apparent
in its XHTML functionality, Word support, and DynamicHelp
tool. You can convert existing Word documents to XHTML in
just one click. You can map Word styles to CSS styles
associated with the new XML file. Doc-To-Help is flexible in
the fact that it still allows Word users to work in Word if
they wish rather than converting to XML.  Authors and
developers can now work seamlessly together with the new
ComponentOne DynamicHelp tool included with Doc-To-Help
2009. This tool provides an easy way to embed dynamically
updating Help into your applications

ComponentOne is the only vendor that gives you everything
you need to create your documentation deliverables in one
application. We appreciate their commitment to the TECHWR-L
community and the entire industry.
