In depth
A closer look at Single Source
Written by a technical author, Single Source is a solution to a common documentation problem: creating paper, Windows help and HTML documentation from a single document source. Many tools exist that would appear to do the job, but unlike Single Source they tend to be limited in the automatic creation of the following:- 'What’s This?' help, obtained from low-level sections that have a particular heading style.- MAP file, allowing you to link a Help file to the application it documents.- Help Contents file, derived from the Table of Contents in the source document.- Related Topics list for each topic, derived from the primary keywords in the index terms for the topic. When reading a topic in the Help file, you can click a button to display a list of topics that are related to it.- Hypertext links, derived from cross-references (for both Help and HTML).Single Source requires the Microsoft Help Compiler, which you can download from the internet, and Microsoft Word.
