Usage Notes

Doc-To-Help is installed as a standalone application on required development systems.
Initial HighStone Documentation was started in 2007 when Help Source text was defined in Word documents. The Help Documentation project was restarted in 2010 when the latest version of Doc-To-Help was taken up. Also at this time all Help Source Text was converted out of Word formats and moved in to the native XHTML format offered by Doc-To-Help, and all documents recast to a 'Single File - Single Topic' policy.
HighStone Help is distributed as an HTML Help environment that may be installed on intranet / internet environments. The Help system uses Javascript to perform the necessary user interaction functions. There is no requirement for IIS or similar support.
