Hi All,
I'm blessed and thankful to advise that a client has asked me to develop
Help for their Apple application. They have decided to go with WebHelp
because of its usability over Apple Help.
I have been given the choice of two tools to use: Flare vs RoboHelp.
Output will be WebHelp, and possibly PDFs, maybe someday help for mobile
applications as well.
If you had the choice and cost was not an issue, which Help tool would
you pick and why?
Use Doc-To-Help's XML-based editor, Microsoft Word, or HTML and
produce desktop, Web, or print deliverables. Just write (or import)
and Doc-To-Help does the rest. Free trial: http://www.doctohelp.com
