I have been asked to assemble the tools for writing a user manual and we will need to be able to export html, pdf, and others.
Or should we be looking at an alternative set of tools ? The number one criteria is an easy to use GUI frontend, and the ability to generate the afore mentioned formats.
Hi Paul,
One option is to use something like Cocoon (xml.apache.org/cocoon/). You write the source document in XML (for which there a vast number of editing tools, open source and commercial, linux and windows). You can then use Cocoon either offline or running through a web site to spit out pretty much any format document (html, text, pdf, svg, ...).
