RE: [HATT] Help As Part Of The Programming Language?



To Mike and the others,

Regarding being over your head in the discussions about OmniHelp, you
couldn't be further from the truth at this point in time. As authors and
readers of online help, you are the best qualified to suggest what you
would like to see. 

It's a simple as:

- is a TOC necessary? (of course)
- do you want expandable/collapsable TOC entries?
- how many levels do you want in the index? (unlimited)
- how should other lists be supported?
- is the tri-pane sufficient?
- what buttons are needed for the reader to navigate?
- is FTS necessary?
- how important is on-the-fly configuration of material (so you can
write one manual and produce beginner/intermediate/advanced versions)?

- What are your pet-peeves with WinHelp, HH, etc.?
- What do you want improved?
- What do readers need?
