Select a database, and you login to that database:


The main screen is divided into the left (folders) and right (document list) panel.
The document list panel has the name of the document, document number, and document version (for storing multiple versions of the same document).


The folder has properties you can edit:


There are many kinds of documents you can insert into HelpMaker:


It includes it's own HTML Editor with Syntax Editor

The problem with all documents, is the capture of knowledge that goes behind the document creation.

Hello,

Could you send me a link to HelpMaker v8 build 4 ?

Thanks in advance

Version 8 build 4 is 12 year old software?!?!!?

I am sure there are similar, more up-to-date software to accomplish this. But if you must, it is available on sourceforge. Seriously though, a wiki is just as useful as this software, but these are maintained and can export to almost any other format by using the appropriate extension and a click of a button.
