ForeHelp does indeed have an HTML-based Help generator. They have a
couple as a matter of fact. ForeHTML develops HTML Help (Microsoft's new
"standard") and InterHelp develops HTML help systems which run on ALL
browsers.

So where does RoboHTML fit into the equation? I've been assigned the
task of
converting existing documentation into RoboHTML and find this thread
particularly important because, well, I have no experience with either
the
RoboHTML or RoboHELP programs (I'm also new to the tech writing world).
What are the differences between the two, if any? Is RoboHTML a
component of
RoboHELP, or its own entity?
Can ForeHelp handle HTML help as well? And with more efficiency than
RoboHTML?
Sorry if this seems like a silly and basic question, but I am young and
foolish, mes amis.
