Utility to create a user documentation of web project

[Guest]

Hi there

On the web you can find a lot of tools to document .NET classes and other
internal (technical) stuff. For windows application there are come other
tools to automaticaly capture screenshots and insert them into a
"documentation framework".

Are there any tools to do this with web applications? Currently I use Word
and insert the screenshots manually. Do you know tools to automate this
process (or just support me)? As I said I am not interessted in technical
documentation, just the plain user documentation of the (web) frontend parts.

Regards
Roger

Hello Roger,

I do not know of any application that will automatically construct user
documentation. There are applications like NDoc that will help you document
your source code and I believe Visual Studio now has that functionality built
in. I have not come across anything that will compile user documentation
automatically as user documentation usually is written separately from code.
We use an Adobe (previously Macromedia) application called RoboHelp. You
might want to take a look at it as we have been pretty happy with it for the
most part. http://www.adobe.com/products/robohelp/

Let me know if you have any questions.
