HelpSetMaker software allows users to create and publish online help documentation quickly and easily. It simplifies the process of authoring and organizing help content, providing a user-friendly interface and powerful features to streamline documentation creation.
One of the key features of HelpSetMaker is its ability to create help information using a simple command language called STML. The produced output can be controlled directly as an HTML view. Additionally, the software can manage a tree of information pages with direct access to each page, create, control, and immediately check links between the information pages.
HelpSetMaker also has features for handling link targets on top or somewhere in the middle of a page, inclusion of stand-alone images or images/icons in the text, and management of image libraries containing all the needed images. The software can export fully self-contained file bundles containing all the necessary parts for the complete set of information files.
HelpSetMaker allows for the creation of HelpSets for the JavaHelp online help system for Java programs. It can also directly create JAR files containing the complete helpset that is ready-to-use. Furthermore, the software can create web page sets for display in a browser and LaTeX source to be passed through "pdflatex" for obtaining a PDF document. There is on-line help included to aid when needed.
To use HelpSetMaker, you need Java 1.4.2 or later. In this release, line indentation (e.g., for source code output) can be achieved by "_" at line beginnings. Index creation works again as spurious XML statements are removed from HelpSet HTMLs. Macro definitions are always read with the correct character encoding. Projects are automatically saved before output creation. The "titletag" attribute can now be added to HelpSet output, and HelpSets show start page instead of an empty frame by default now.
In conclusion, HelpSetMaker is an application with excellent features that make it ideal for creating structured help information. The software is easy to use and produces precise results. It is highly recommended for anyone who desires to create quality online help information.
