Fortunately, there is a little bit more choice than that.
A new player on the block is HTM-S, the HyperText Management System.
It builds both plain HTML- and HTML Help-based documentation from
collections of information topics stored in an MS Access database.
HTM-S works with any HTML editor, and any browser. For optimum
results, support for Cascading Style Sheets is required (meaning
versions 4 or higher of IE or NN).
For paper manuals, you can output your publication (i.e. a set o topics)
to a single file, which you can then further process in your favorite word
processor or page layout program.
