Subject:HTML vs HTML Help From:James Cort <jcort -at- TOTALTEL -dot- COM> Date:Tue, 27 Jul 1999 08:36:27 -0400
I poked around in the archives and couldn't find this question dealt with.
I am an HTML novice and I'm wondering what the difference is between
straight HTML and HTML Help such as what I presume RoboHTML produces.
If you wish to produce a help-like file in HTML (that is: if you're
producing something that would serve the same purpose a printed manual would
serve) are there any advantages one over the other? What are the strong
points/weak points of each?
