Hi, I’m Nicky Bleiel, Doc-To-Help’s Lead Information Developer. Welcome to the Doc-To-Help
video tutorial series. Today I’m going to discuss all of the outputs you can create
with Doc-To-Help. With Doc-To-Help, you can create 9 different
Outputs from a single project. Your project itself can include Word documents, HTML Documents,
or you can author in Doc-To-Help’s Built-in HTML5 editor. Mixing different types of documents
in one project is no problem at all -- because Doc-To-Help makes it easy to work the way
you want to work, but still produce all the outputs you need.
Let’s look at our choices: NetHelp – NetHelp is content that opens
in a Web browser. NetHelp files can be posted on the Web, on a server, installed locally,
or all three. Doc-To-Help’s NetHelp uses the latest web technologies, such as HTML5
and jQuery, and is easy to customize. Doc-To-Help includes a Responsive NetHelp Theme, which
you can use to deliver outputs for both desktop and mobile devices, because it adjusts to
screen sizes, and is touch-enabled. Manuals (both Word .doc/.docx and PDF versions)
– Doc-To-Help produces print outputs that are ready-to-go out-of –the-box and include
a front cover, a table of contents, footers, index, and more.
HTML Help – this is the familiar .chm or “chum” file – compiled HTML Help. This
is a popular output for desktop software applications. EPUB – EPUBs are interactive books that
can be read on eReaders – such as Kindles and Nooks -- tablets, phones, PCS, Macs and
more. As with Mobile Help, the content display adjusts for the device.
Eclipse Help – Eclipse Help is used in applications developed in Eclipse, which is an open source
development environment from IBM. JavaHelp – JavaHelp is a Help solution for
pure Java applications. Java Help 1.1.3 is supported, as well as JavaHelp 2.0
WinHelp – WinHelp is one of the original Microsoft Help formats, and many still need
to deliver it. Microsoft Help Viewer and Microsoft Help 2.0
– If you are developing Help that needs to integrate with Visual Studio, you would
use Help 2.0 for Visual Studio 2002-2008, and Microsoft Help Viewer in 2010 and above
– Doc-To-Help outputs both . In addition, you can generate API reference sections using
Doc-To-Help’s Sandcastle plugin. All you need to do to build any output is
choose it from the Select Target drop-down and click the Build button. Nothing else about
your project needs to change; Doc-To-Help handles the conversion for you.
One more output I didn’t mention – you can also publish your content to a SharePoint
wiki to create a collaborative environment for your team, your customers, or both. So
that’s actually 10 outputs! As you can see, with Doc-To-Help, you can
produce any output you need, while working in the environment you prefer. Check it out
