Does anyone know of a good help authoring tool for creating
cross-platform context-sensitive help that runs on a Mac? I need HTML or
Java output.
TIA,
Ron

Many - if not most - textprocessors can now save clear text into HTML so
that would probably be the easiest way for you to do it this way. - Else
you also can use the composer part in both Firefox and SeaMonkey - both
to write in clear text as well as pure HTML coding. A thrid possibility
is to use texteditors like Textwrangler or BBEdit from Barebones.
Textwrangler is free and somewhat limited towards BBEdit. Others could
be Smultron, TexEdit Plus, iText Pro, Editra, etc.etc.. - Even the
TextEdit in OS X can save into HTML.

If you want to use both Java, HTML and CSS in the same files, I think
you should go for the BBEdit though is isn't that cheap.

Cheers, Erik Richard
