Help authoring tools?

Any suggestions on tools or techniques for automating the authoring help
files for the classes and components that one builds with Delphi?

Thanks,

Al Cohen

We are about to release a documentation tool which does exactly this,
contact me for more information, or a beta version.

Help Scribble looks like a good tool. It is shareware - see
http://www.tornado.be/~johnfg/ for information.
There are a number of commercial tools available as well as other shareware
tools that can be found in the usual places (as can the above.)

Yes, there are many tools available for writing (general) help files.
Our tool is specialized for making help files for/about [large] libraries
of Delphi code.

I'll second that. I haven't registered it (YET), but it was the
best I could find on the web. Even the latest version I could
find had a bug or two in it, but I really like the user
interface.

Here is one for the very first WinHelp tool I ever used and it is about
$20.00 to $30.00 for a single user. Not bad really. It is a big macro
for Word. Go to:

Take care,
