The Help & Manual page editor and project explorer.

Help & Manual is an advanced multi-format help authoring tool that provides all the formatting and editing features of a modern word processor. You can output your projects to all standard Windows help formats (HTML Help, Winhelp and MS Help / Visual Studio Help), browser-based Help, PDF and Word RTF. All output formats are generated from the same project, you only have to edit your help and documentation once.

The following editions are available:

• Help & Manual Professional
• Help & Manual Basic

Updates in 6

• All new Webhelp 2.0 - Help & Manual now creates HTML5 Webhelp output which fully supports jQuery and uses animations for non-static content such as table of contents, toggle text, etc.
• New publishing formats and publishing tasks - Help & Manual lets you create batch jobs that combine several different outputs and/or different output formats. The publishing batch jobs are saved with the project.
• Improved editor and new spell checker - Help & Manual has tabbed editing, so you can open multiple topics at once and easily switch between them. It remembers which topics were open and re-opens them the next time you open the project. Images, toggle images and videos allow text flow around them (this works in PDF as well).
• Publish directly to the Apple iPad - Help & Manual can publish directly to the Apple iPad. This is not a quirky "webhelp mobile" for smartphones, it's a genuine standards-compliant e-book for offline reading on your iPad.
