HelpNDoc integrates a
WYSIWYG editor which aims to look like popular word processing software such as
Microsoft Word or
OpenOffice.org Writer. HelpNDoc has the ability to include variables and external files. It also has the ability to generate code for the
C++,
Delphi,
Fortran,
Pascal and
Visual Basic programming languages for integration of the generated CHM help files with the application being developed. As of version 4 HelpNDoc comes with a project analyzer that can track the document’s layout, provide statistics and identify potential problems such as broken links or problems with media items. HelpNDoc can also be used to publish mobile websites, using the table of contents as a navigation menu, the content of the topics with navigation buttons, the keyword index menu, a built-in search engine, and mobile-specific user interface elements.
