Subject:online documentation for web application From:Kaya Balke <kaya -at- hungryminds-inc -dot- com> To:"TechWr List (E-mail)" <TECHWR-L -at- LISTS -dot- RAYCOMM -dot- COM> Date:Wed, 12 Jan 2000 09:22:42 -0800
Hi all,
I need to create online documentation for a web application, and I'm trying
to determine both the best tool to do the job and the best format for the
documentation.
I'm wondering if I can write documentation directly in an HTML text editor,
such as HomeSite, or should I use MS Word (FrameMaker is not in the budget)
and then convert it to HTML? Any problems with using HomeSite to create user
docs that I should be aware of? Also, I'd like to take a look at existing
online documentation to get ideas but haven't been able to find any. Any
suggestions on which sites have online documentation?
