Loading ...Madcap has released two of the products it was showing at last week’s STC conferenece.
MadCap Capture is a screen capture utility “designed specifically with the documentation specialist in mind”. “Authors can now produce “single-source images,” a new concept in the field of Help documentation. From a single image, an author can generate an output file appropriate for online Help (e.g., low resolution, color) and another output file for a printed manual (e.g., high resolution, gray scale), sending the output to Microsoft Word or Adobe FrameMaker.”
MadCap Help Viewer is a freely redistributable content viewer that is based on Microsoft’s .NET framework. DotNet Help, a new format developed by MadCap Software, has a customizable interface that is much more modern looking than the HTML Help Viewer.
Advantages and benefits of using DotNet Help are:
• Embedded context-sensitive Help – “Dynamic Help”
• New modern Help look-and-feel for .NET applications
• Seamlessly integrate, embed and view software tutorials
• No security warnings and limitations as with the traditional CHM viewer
Madcap really seems to have the ball rolling at the moment.
