Helpfile Creation Support

[Antil]

Hi,

Many thanks for a great piece of software!

One suggestion for future versions would
be the inclusion of helpfile creation support such as Winhelp, HTML Help and JavaHelp.

As this could be quite complex, this could be in the form of a plug-in possibly?


Kind Regards.

good idea

As much as I'd love to have full help file support built into 1st Page XP, I don't think it's such a good idea. This is simply because of the complexity of creating help files and taking care of the differences between the various source formats. At least WinHelp is totally out of the question, since they use a RTF-format rather than an HTML source.

That said, there are a couple very nice tools available for help creation, one of the most successful is FAR. By using FAR and a good HTML Editor, you've got what is needed to create large and complex help files.

If 1st Page XP has support for marcos, code snippets, keyboard shortcut customizing as well as shortcuts to external software, it's not hard to create a perfect solution for help development. If there's built-in support for Visual SourceSafe in addition, I'd start using 1st Page XP ASAP (but when is it coming, anyway!!??)

great idea...use something like a plugin, because it is really not easy to realize something too, but it would be great!!!
