I am working on a web based project, and one of the areas that I will soon be getting to is the on-line help area.
I have acutal user focused documentation that I and others have been writing within MS Word. In looking around at options for creating help file systems, there are several products that have options for taking MS Word files as input and creating web based help systems as output.
But I am curious as to what benefit that would serve over simply opening the document up in MS Word and using the option to save as html?
The options that I have looked at are RoboHelp and Doc-To-Help. I have not been able to find any Open Source type help file creation systems that generate web based help files, so if anyone knows of any I would appreciate knowing about them as well.
