Help & Manual is a Windows-based help authoring tool published by EC Software, a company based in Austria. Like many help authoring tools, Help & Manual allows the writer to create a single source text which it then converts to a number of target formats. In this case, the author creates the source text using an editor built into the Help & Manual program. The text, along with the user's settings for the project, are stored in XML files. Version 6.0 of Help & Manual was released November 2011. Help & Manual currently supports the following output formats: * WinHelp * Compiled HTML * HTML Web Page * Visual Studio Help * Rich Text Format (Microsoft Word) * eBook (Windows executable containing an embedded viewer) * ePUB e-books * Printed manuals Version 4.x of Help & Manual also supports Unicode for creating help in all international languages, including Asian languages like Chinese, Japanese and Thai but excluding right-to-left languages. Version 5.x of Help & Manual contains a completely redesigned Ribbon interface, and permits multiple users to collaborate and work on a single help project at the same time. Version 6.x of Help & Manual has a slightly modified user interface and adds support for the ePUB publishing format. The program comes bundled with several tools, including a screenshot capture tool, a graphics program with functions for editing and enhancing screenshots, a help context tool for managing, importing and exporting help context numbers, a "print manual designer" for creating and editing layout templates for PDF files and printed manuals and a reporting tool for generating and exporting project reports. == Version history == * 3.x - used RTF-based source files with a .HM3 extension. * 4.x - uses XML-based source files with a .HMX extension * 5.x - uses XML-based source files with a .HMXZ extension * 6.x - project source files compatible with version 5 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Help & Manual」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
