What Is RoboHelp?

RoboHelp is an authoring tool sold by eHelp Corporation (formerly Blue Sky Software). In an easy "WYSIWYG" format, it allows you to organize information and create pathways and interactive links so a user can find desired or necessary information (and the user can do so in a non-linear intuitive way that is helpful to learning).

You can add images (photos, drawings, images, video) and audio to your topics to support your content and enhance your online information. You can even use these images as links (hotspots) to other topics. In a topic, images are part of the text that make up a topic and they flow with the text as you add and delete information. You insert images into your topics in the RoboHELP WYSIWYG Editor.

RoboHelp also lets you create pop-up text hotspots and a Table of Contents, Glossary, and Index as you develop text. As you'll see in some of the screen views, a two-window interface allows you to drag and drop between the windows.

When development is finished, depending on the version of RoboHelp you have, you can provide different output formats (print, Microsoft HTML, Java Help, etc).
