Impress Your End-Users

Doc-To-Help gives you the tools to create impressive deliverables without knowledge of design or development. Here are just some of the things that are a button click away:

You Will Always Have Clean, Standards-based Content

Doc-To-Help ensures that your source content stays clean and standards compliant. When using Doc-To-Help’s editor, it creates compliant XML-based content while you write. With this type of source content, you will be able to enforce consistent formatting across your project, comply with the latest Web and compliance standards, accessibility requirements, and reuse the source elsewhere. In fact, Doc-To-Help is the only tool of its kind that gives you source that conforms to the strict W3C standards.

Additionally, all the information Doc-To-Help needs to process outputs is stored in a special set of styles called Doc-To-Help Markup Language (D2HML). Doc-To-Help provides these styles in Word templates and CSS style sheets and provides toolbars that apply the appropriate styles for you. Since D2HML is only a set of styles, the use of the content is not restricted to any one environment.

History and Experience Gives You Peace of Mind

Introduced in 1991, Doc-To-Help was the first solution of its kind in the market and has since benefitted from a close relationship with Microsoft and the user community.

Included yearly maintenance and affordable renewals will help you ensure that you always have the latest software.
