TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I played with Web Publisher's trial copy. It's awfully nice, although
it tends
to put a lot of text into definition style (which gives your headers a
nice
hanging outdent in Netscape, but makes it hard if your browser
interprets
<DT><DD> tags as italics.). It struck me as high-priced (~$900 as I
recall)
but is a great time saver - if you like the <DD> and <DT> tags
everywhere.
so far I haven't seen a translator that I'd pay money for. Internet
Assistant
is frustrating, and puts stupid tags everywhere (*ugly* code) and I
understand
Front Page has the same problems. I tend to put my stuff into IA to
translate, for the quick and dirty work, then clean it up with Notepad
and a
non-IA instance of Word.
