Develop and distribute application assistance effortlessly with efficient software solutions.
QuickHelp is a software tool that is perfect for developers who want to create and deploy application help on multiple platforms. It is compatible with Mac OS 9, Mac OS X, Windows 95 through XP, and most Linux distributions. QuickHelp makes it easy to create, maintain, and deploy application help. All the help information is stored in a single XML file, and QuickHelp Viewers are available for Windows, Macintosh, and Linux.
With QuickHelp, users can benefit from several features which include a table of contents, an index with an automatic search field, word searches that work across topics, and topics formatted with images, tables, and colored text. Additionally, there are user-initiated actions, hypertext links, and context-sensitive help from applications.
QuickHelp simplifies the help-authoring process, regardless of the platform used for development. It is unique because it allows developers to test help topics in a single tabbed window running on their preferred platform. In turn, help systems can be deployed to virtually any computer, making it easy for users to access help information.
QuickHelp uses standard XML format with a builder for authoring help systems and a viewer for deploying them to end-users. The information in QuickHelp resides in a standard XML file that is distributed with a native viewer executable for each platform.
For the end-user, QuickHelp delivers professional end-user help. The help system supports a table of contents, an index with an automatic search field, word searches across topics, and formatted images, tables, and text in topics with hypertext links. The end-user can also enjoy live actions and context-sensitive help from application menus and dialogs.
QuickHelp is also highly productive for developers with a highly intuitive interface. The contents and index panels, combined with the Edit and General panels, make it easy for developers to edit the help file. Each topic has fields for defining index words and context-sensitive identifier strings that link topics to application menus and dialogs.
QuickHelp supports configurable actions like running an executable, presenting a popup message, linking to different topics based on the platform, running COM methods, sending Apple Events, running a compiled AppleScript or presenting QuickTime movies. Each topic can be parameterized based on the current platform or other variables to provide customized help for different platforms or product editions.
QuickHelp handles administrative tasks like maintaining links between topics, reordering topics, and locating bad links, missing indexes, tables, actions, or images. The royalty-free viewer can present application help as a standalone application or integrated as a window within the developer's application.
QuickHelp is a Universal Binary application that runs at native speed on any PPC or Intel based Mac OS X computer. It is an excellent tool for developers looking to create and deploy application help quickly and efficiently.
