Essentials of Adobe RoboHelp 7 HTML

(Three-day workshop)

What is RoboHelp HTML?
RoboHelp is the industry standard for Help authoring. It's the preferred program if you are a Help author, technical writer, or programmer tasked with creating Help systems for desktop or Web-based applications.

HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language. Simply put, HTML is a formatting language. You put codes (markups) inside text files so that they can be read by browsing software. Currently, the most popular browsing program is Microsoft’s Internet Explorer.

RoboHelp 7 HTML has the letters HTML in its name; therefore, many people think that RoboHelp HTML is strictly an HTML authoring tool—it is not. Although you can create terrific Web sites with RoboHelp HTML, its primary mission is to let you quickly, and easily, create Help systems.
