HelpBurner joins ComponentSource

Tue, 01 Feb 2011 17:39:00 GMT

Installing HelpBurner.

Simple yet powerful way to create help, documentation and tutorials, now available from ComponentSource.

HelpBurner is a simple yet powerful way for you to create help, documentation and tutorials that let your users become experts quickly. HelpBurner was created from the ground up to make it easy for you to create help that shows (not tells) users how to master your products. Capture screenshots, add instructional text, publish your help as HTML, PDF or to a blog. HelpBurner includes built-in screen capturing tools which allows you to easily capture the images you need to show users what to do.

Features

Smart capture
HelpBurner's built-in screen capture tool lets you capture exactly what you need quickly and easily - whether it's your desktop, windows, regions or web-pages. With the new semi-transparent overlay, pixel-perfect capturing is straight forward and captures are dropped directly into your help so you can add words easily.
Import existing captures and images
If you're already got loads of images and captures that you don't want to throw away just point HelpBurner at them and you're good to go, HelpBurner allows you to import existing images.
Add text annotations and numbering
HelpBurner's annotation tools allow you to easily explain a complex process to your users through images instead of words. HelpBurner allows you to effectively show your users what to do instead of telling them. You can move, edit or delete annotations with a single click.
Re-capture, re-edit anytime
Picture not quite right? Don't worry... you can re-capture it anytime so that it's perfect. There's no need to work with external tools to crop and adjust your captures. HelpBurner does it all for you. Plus, anything you do with HelpBurner you can undo, delete, or redo.
Edit :: build beautiful help around your images in minutes
Pulling together compelling help and informative tutorials from your screen captures couldn't be easier - and it takes minutes... not hours.
Everything you need - powerful, simple help authoring
HelpBurner's editing tools let you quickly build effective and engaging help around your screen captures. HelpBurner already has all the tools you need, so you won't need to waste time swapping to other applications. You can add headings, rich-text areas, links, image annotations and other steps quickly and easily to explain concepts and provide step-by-step instructions.
Simple tutorials or full help manuals
HelpBurner provides you with all the tools, whatever your requirements. Whether it's putting together a short tutorial explaining how to get the most out of your product, a quick step-by-step guide to e-mail to your users, or a full user guide or manual, HelpBurner can do it all to suit your specific requirements.
Publish anywhere
Whatever you create in HelpBurner you can publish anywhere - blogs, web, PDF, e-mail (with more to come). Your content is King and you won't need to make any changes to publish to different formats. You only need to build it once and then you can publish it many times, to many different places and it all looks and works the same.
Beautiful, usable help every time
HelpBurner creates beautiful, usable help for your users, full-stop. HelpBurner takes care of publishing your help beautifully so that you can focus on creating great content for your users. From the image annotations to the great publishing templates and everything in-between, users will find your help a joy to use.
Tagging
What would a modern tool be without tagging? Tagging makes your help topics and tutorials immediately searchable and search engine friendly, which helps your users to find what they need quickly. Help topics are also indexed in Google and other search engines, which attracts traffic and interest to your website.
Links bring help to life
One of the greatest things about the web is hyperlinks - making relevant information available to users with a simple click. HelpBurner fully supports hyperlinks so you can link text and topics to other topics, websites or any other type of link. Linking topics is a simple and effective way to help users find the right information, by letting them easily navigate their way through the help.
Share :: export help and tutorials to the Web, PDF, blogs and e-mail
Getting your help and tutorials in front of your users anytime, anywhere, is easy thanks to HelpBurner's built-in exporters for blog, web, PDF and e-mail.
Share single tutorials or entire help manuals
HelpBurner provides you with all the tools, whatever your requirements. Whether it's putting together a short tutorial explaining how to get the most out of your product, a quick step-by-step guide to e-mail to your users, or a full user guide or manual, HelpBurner can do it all to suit your specific requirements.
Publishing to PDF
What more is there to say? PDF has become the standard way we share electronic documents. You can make your help and tutorials available to users in beautiful PDF's using HelpBurner, including cover pages and tables of contents with just a few easy clicks. Making your help available as a PDF as well as through a blog or a web site is a great way to give your users what they need, when they need it, in the format they want it. You can also make PDF's downloadable from your website, include them in your software downloads or e-mail them directly to users, all using HelpBurner.
Publishing to the Web
HelpBurner can publish the help you create to the web as HTML + CSS (cascading style sheets) so that users can access it using just a web browser... they can even view it using an iPhone or an iPad. With just a few simple clicks you can upload your help to your website...ready for users.
Publishing to blogs - help 2.0
Take your help to the next level by exporting it to a blog and making it a truly interactive experience for you and your users. Having your help available on a blog means it's immediately available online. Plus, whenever new help topics are available or are updated, they'll be at your user's fingertips immediately. Blog commenting features also encourage users give valuable feedback, which lets you improve your service and engage with your users.
Publishing to e-mail
A great feature, it lets you quickly and easily send solutions to users for all the common problems they're experiencing. To do this, simply create a new HelpBurner help topic when commonly-asked questions come through from users, which provides a step step-by-step guide showing the user how to solve the problem. New help topics are published online (much like FAQ's), but you can also use HelpBurner to send help topics to users who've asked a question via e-mail.

Database documentation created with SqlSpec.

SqlSpec lets you generate easy-to-read database documentation for a wide range of platforms.

SqlSpec is a database documentation tool that will generate easy-to-read database documentation. SqlSpec generates documentation in two formats: HTML or CHM. HTML is useful for publishing your documents on the Web or an intranet site. CHM is useful if you want a single, compact file containing all your documentation about one or more databases. The CHM is indexed so it is easily searchable for any keyword. This way you can easily determine which objects reference the "EmployeeID" column, for example. SqlSpec supports every major DBMS including Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Analysis Server, Microsoft Report Server, Microsoft Integration Server, Microsoft Access, Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Teradata, SQLite, DB2, Sybase ASE, Sybase SQL Anywhere, Informix, VistaDB and ENEA Polyhedra.

Features

Extended property/comment editor supporting SQL Server, Oracle, and more
Show scripts for all objects documented.
Ability to add your own branding logo (headers and footers) to each page in the documentation.
Run as a console application, useful for automating SqlSpec to generate documentation for your databases on a schedule, or integrating SqlSpec into your development process.
Supports XML comments added to your stored procedures, user defined functions, views, and triggers, similar to XML comments in C# code. These comments are parsed by SqlSpec and the content is placed in your documentation.
Include external objects (such as web services, web pages, and other components) in the documentation. Specify dependencies of external objects on database objects and they will be included in the dependency graphs.
Creates data model diagrams where any database object (or external object) can be represented.
Specify an exclusion list so that certain objects (or just the SQL code for them) can be excluded from the documentation.
Specify a custom navigation hierarchy to include arbitrary HTML files in the generated CHM.
Generate dependency and primary/foreign key graphs. Such diagrams are much easier to understand at a glance than a flat list of dependent objects.
Generate a call graph for sprocs and udfs that call other sprocs and udfs.
Fine control over what object types are documented.
Support for every major DBMS in a single tool

New manual designer
The new Manual Designer comes with improved layout features: Now, when you move objects with the mouse, the editor automatically displays blue guide lines to help you align objects with each other. Objects automatically snap to the positions of other objects and the margins. You can now combine objects as groups and then manipulate the group like a single object. "Object anchors" now allow you to anchor each side of an object to the page borders or margins - this gives you "fluid" layouts that adapt automatically when you change the paper size or margins of your layout.
New PDF Features
All objects can now be defined as PDF hyperlinks to make them clickable. The links can point to a topic, a page number or a section of the PDF manual, or to external files or a web address. Similarly, you can each section of your PDF template can now have its own editable custom entry in the "Bookmarks" table of contents in the PDF file. This means that you can add Bookmarks entries for custom pages and sections that could previously not be included, like the Index or the Contents (print-style TOC) sections.
