Features & Benefits:

Easy-To-Use Workflow
The main project window is the heart of the HelpLogic application. The interface design provides a very intuitive, time-saving workflow for easily creating, editing, and managing your project's table of contents, related HTML source files, and project development notes, saved code snippets, etc.

HTML Editor
Modify help pages with either the built-in editor or your favorite editor (such as Dreamweaver or BBEdit). HelpLogic's Editor features code syntax coloring and Code Plugins (for supporting new tags).

Link Manager
Auto-updates HTML links and your table of contents when source files are renamed or moved.

Preview Mode
During the development process, use the built-in preview feature to test your help pages in your favorite help viewer or web browser.

Page Templates
If you use specific HTML page designs frequently, simply save them as Page Templates, so that you can quickly add them to new pages.

Visual TOC Builder
Create your help book's table of contents. Easily add and edit pages and chapters, plus topic description and keyword tags.

Project Workshop
Organize your development notes, code snippets, bug reports, "to do" lists, feature requests, URL bookmarks and more.

Help Publisher
Develop your help book from a single project source and then use the Publish feature to quickly export your help book in the selected format, ready for use with your software applications and web sites!

Cross-Platform Project Files
HelpLogic projects are truly cross-platform, enabling you to easily move projects from one computer to another. A HelpLogic project can be opened by either the Mac OS X Edition or the Windows XP Edition, regardless of the HelpLogic Edition that created it. This feature alone makes HelpLogic the ideal help authoring tool for developers who work on multiple machines or who work in mixed Mac and Windows environments.
