Help Authoring Made Easy Use QuickHelp to author and deploy application help to any Mac OS X or Windows computer. QuickHelp is unique in its ability to author, manage and test your help system in a single tabbed window running on your platform of choice, then use the help system on any computer. Eliminate complex HTML tag editing, cumbersome topic management and different authoring and deployment approaches for each platform. Start authoring help in minutes, with no programming experience required. XML Format with Conditional Presentation QuickHelp consists of a Builder for authoring the help system and royalty-free viewer executables to deploy it with your application. Help information is stored in one platform neutral XML file. The help file can include conditional topics and text to present a customized user experience based on the specific computer platform or product where it is used. Developers can parameterize topics, actions, tables and other aspects of the help system when installing or running their application. Professional End-User Help For the end-user, QuickHelp supports contextual help from any application completed with a table of contents, index with automatic search field, word searches across topics and professionally presented help pages. From the Contents panel, view, expand or collapse topics. Click links to navigate between topics, play movies, popup descriptions or launch application commands. The Forward and backward buttons navigate through recently viewed topics. Help can be presented with the QuickHelpRT viewer running as an application or integrated as a window within your application using the QuickHelpRT.dll. Author Help in Minutes QuickHelp can substantially reduce the time required to create and maintain a professional help system for any application. It combines the Contents and Index panels with the Edit and General panels for editing the help file. The Edit panel is used to add, edit, delete or move topics within the Contents tree. Formatted text, lists, images, tables, actions and links between topics can be quickly added. No programming experience is required to author help. The tool automatically maintains the table of contents, index, search capabilities and link management, allowing the author to focus on the product information. The end user's presentation can be viewed at any time during the authoring process. A PDF book, complete with table of contents and index can be generated with one command. User Initiated Actions Your help system can have user initiated actions. Actions can popup messages, link to different topics based on platform, launch applications, present web pages, play movies, run COM methods, apple events, AppleScripts or paste text into the clipboard. Actions are initiated when the user clicks on words, table cells or areas of an image. Easy Maintenance QuickHelp handles administrative activities like maintaining links between topics, reordering topics and locating bad links, missing indexes, tables, actions or images. With its intuitive design, a developer is productive in minutes. At any time, the developer can see and use the same working help system that the end-user will see by simply clicking the Contents or Index panel. System Requirements: Windows 98 through Vista.
