HelpSmith user interface.

HelpSmith is a visual help authoring tool for creating CHM, HTML, and PDF help documents from the same source help project. The stand-alone and easy-to-use environment includes a Unicode word-processor with dynamic styles and live spell checker, support for Templates and Variables, an advanced approach to working with graphical and video files, automatic correction system, and many other useful tools.

HelpSmith includes a professional feature-set, which is combined with an easy-to-use interface. Using the built-in editors, you can easily create the Table of Contents and alphabetical Index of your help systems in minutes. You will also be able to integrate your HTML Help or Web Help system with your application and provide context-sensitive Help.

Designed as a regular office application, HelpSmith enables the creation of high quality help systems and documents without the knowledge of many technical details. For example, you do not have to manually code HTML or CSS in order to create technical documentation. At the same time, experienced technical writers still have the possibility to insert custom HTML code.
