Use HelpHikes Pro and start Windows Help authoring in minutes! Just add topics to a document, insert hyperlinks by a simple drag and drop, and push a button to create help. To learn advanced usage, you can see the accompanying sample projects.
Also, a better notepad for HTML editing: HelpHikes is also a better notepad for those who directly use HTML to edit web pages. I maintain this web site with HelpHikes Pro! For details on how it is better than notepad for editing HTML pages, please see HTML editing features.
Please note that HelpHikes Pro is not a WYSIWYG system but rather, uses its own hypertext markup language, called HHML.
All the help for our own products is created using HelpHikes Pro.
Here are the sample screen shots of the help created for one of our products, ShowSize, using HelpHikes Pro. The source for the help is shown in the picture at the top. Just click on the images to see them in their original size.
You'll find that your hypertext authoring skills improve dramatically with HelpHikes. It manages many tedious tasks internally, letting you enjoy the creation of your help text and hypertext links. Also use HelpHikes to manage bits & pieces of other information. Remember, you can always create Windows help files for any type of information.
Important note: HelpHikes Pro requires Microsoft Help Workshop (HCW) compiler installed on your system. You may already have HCW if you have any Windows development kit installed, such as, Visual Basic, Visual C++, Delphi, C++ Builder, etc. Look for a file HCW.EXE on your system. If it has been run even once, HelpHikes Pro will find it. Just try a compilation with HelpHikes and you will see a message if it does not find it. If you don't have HCW.EXE, look at the Questions section of this web site for information on where to get it.
A better notepad for HTML editing: HelpHikes is also a better notepad for those who directly use HTML to edit web pages. HelpHikes Pro has got nice features for text file editing, especially for editing the web page text files for direct HTML authoring. It supports hyperlinks testing even with relative links and in personal web server environment. This web site is authored with HelpHikes Pro! See Using HelpHikes Pro for HTML authoring.
A note organizer: What's more, HelpHikes Pro doubles-up for use as a hypertext organizer to manage your random free-format information. Of course, if you are just interested in this feature, get our product WhizFolders Organizer which is even better than HelpHikes Pro for note management.
