XMetal is a DITA-based (a type of structured XML) tool that
currently outputs only to PDF or HTML (AFAIK). Flare uses XML as
well, but supports output to DotNet help, HTML Help (CHMs),
WebHelp, Word, and Framemaker.

Both offer trial downloads on their web site. Also, check out Char
James-Tanny's HAT-Matrix.com site for a comparison of Flare to
other tools in the industry (excluding XMetal -- they are not listed).
