TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
We are currently evaluating tools to create and publish product documentation online with access mostly via excellent search.
My previous experience is with DITA solutions, or prior to that, a simple webhelp publication.
I wanted to hear opinions from tech writers with experience creating documentation using MindTouch.
I have only tried it briefly as part of an evaluation, but on first appearance its wiki-like editor concerned me.
Can anyone please offer their insights and experiences with MindTouch?
Specifically:
* How well does it cope with multiple SME reviews of an article/topic?
* How easily can you define global character styles?
* How easy is it to create numbered steps? Can you customize the look?
* How good is their online search?
* What are the biggest pros and cons with this platform?
Many thanks for any and all contributions.
Best wishes,
