HelpTrans is a freeware help documentation creator app and cataloger, developed by Jakub Sika for Windows.
The download has been tested by an editor here on a PC and a list of features has been compiled; see below. We've also created some screenshots of HelpTrans to illustrate the user interface and show the overall usage and features of this help documentation creation program.
help authoring and processing tool (script based helpmaker)
This help authoring and processing tool is a script based helpmaker, that generates .hlp files, implements GIF animations and blinking text, that is not supported by the help system itself. Supports context-sensitive help and popup windows for various application features, and is able to generate the documentation from the C source code! Includes applications and examples that fully explain the the product's features.
Documentation files are generated by the script engine from specially formatted templates, that are translated to the MS Help Workshop RTF. It uses special keywords to create links, popups and images in the pages and you can access all the features that the help system supports. You can use built-in RTF editor to format the source text and insert also RTF commands directly. The processing itself is executed by separated thread, so you can continue working if the compilation takes more time.
The interface is fully adjustable and powered by docking windows, all settings are saved in the registry when the program exits. All necessary information is provided by fully context-sensitive help, which describes every part of the application.
