    What system does your company use to write it's help text in? Is it any good?

      my favorite is to write it in HTML, embed it as a resource, then display that HTML in a dialog box. it's much easier than fncking around with that crappy HTML Help Editor.

            That's what you sometimes get when hitting the Formula-1 button. :)

            - before you ask a question here, search CodeProject, then Google - the quality and detail of your question reflects on the effectiveness of the help you are likely to get - use the code block button (PRE tags) to preserve formatting when showing multi-line code snippets

              Help. It's what the girly wirly wusses resort to, instead of the manly kick the crap out of the keyboard option.

                      Any text editor - we write in DocBook then convert that to HTML, PDF and CHM

                      Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

                        English. Takes a bit of time to get used to it, but seems to work OK
