Simple Help Editor offers a range of features to make you more productive creating help systems that help your users.
You can use Simple Help Editor to create help systems for any of your Macintosh or Windows applications. Whatever you're using to develop them with. Whether you work in Mac OS X or Windows.
Simple Help Editor can output your help system in HTML for display with Apple Help Viewer, or with a Web browser. Simple Help Editor can also create help windows specifically for applications built with Real Software's REALbasic.
Simple. Most importantly, it's easy to use. You enter your help content, style the text as desired, add images (if you're outputting it as HTML) and hyperlinks to other pages or to external resources. Then if you're going to have your users display it with Apple Help Viewer or in a Web broswer, all it takes is a few clicks of the mouse to finish.
There are lots of nice tools built in to make entering content easier as well. A glossary function expands abbreviations you define. Quick Styles let you apply complex text styling in one step.
Flexible. Use Simple Help Editor on your Macintosh or Windows PC to create a help system for either platform -- or both.
Display your help content in a built-in application window (if you're using REALbasic to create your application), save it to HTML and display it in a Web browser, or in Apple Help Viewer. If you're using an HTML version, there are several options for customizing the display.
