TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I use ComponentOne's Doc-to-Help. I may grumble about it from time to
time, but that's because I'm still learning the tricks and tweaks. We
had an old RoboHelp project that was created with v5-I think-and I used
Doc-to-Help to convert it into a workable help system. A workable help
system for software that is going away soon. . . But I digress.
Overall, Doc-to-Help is a very powerful program, and I've invested a lot
of time and effort in learning it, but if you're familiar with other
HATs (unlike me-this is my first stab at Help Authoring), you should
pick up on it.
Otherwise, lest I sound like a salesman, I'd suggest downloading as many
demos as possible and see what you're comfortable with. I did the same
before settling on my current HAT, and it all boils down to what you
feel comfortable with. Well, that, and which demo actually works
properly.
