|
| BrowserHelp |
|
|
| With more and more help files being delivered online, browser
based help is becoming a necessity. Olson Software's browser based help solution
is called BrowserHelp. Like all other help outputs it is just another target
in the HyperText Studio. It has all the features that you are familiar with
in other help systems including Table of Contents, Index and Full Text Search. |
|
 |
|
| DHTML Popups |
|
|
| In the Professional Edition, popups are now
converted to DHTML popups for the HTML, BrowserHelp and HTML Help targets. |
|
|
|
| Command Line
Build and Backup |
|
|
| For situations where you need to be able to build or
backup your project, HyperText Studio has a command line interface.
This is very useful for situations like automated builds. |
|
|
|
| Printed Document authoring |
|
|
| The HyperText Studio can create a printed
document in RTF format based on your project. All links are removed,
graphics are inserted and any print specific styles are applied.
The RTF file is suitable for display in a word processor such as Microsoft
Word
In addition, if you have existing documentation, the HyperText Studio
can import this for you as well! See below for details.

|
| Importing Printed
Documentation |
|
|
| Maintaining existing documentation is one of the most
important parts of any authoring tool. The HyperText Studio is
no exception - its powerful import wizard allows you to import any of
your existing documents!
Printed Documentation can be imported in RTF format and the HyperText
Studio will create topics, links and an index based on the information
in the RTF file!

|
| Multi-user Support |
|
Note: All Multi-User features are part of the
Team Edition only. |
| The newest edition to the HyperText Studio range is
the Team Edition. It includes all the functionality of the HyperText
Studio Professional Edition and additionally allows multiple users to
work on the same project at the same time! This is a huge time
saver for a team of writers working on a help or web project because
it is no longer necessary to talk to each other to ensure that two people
don't work on the project at the same time. It can also replace source
control systems which don't integrate well with help authoring tools.
The HyperText Studio automatically ensures that users accessing the
same part of the database wait until the first user requesting that information
has finished. Changes to any of the project tress (e.g: Contents Tree)
are automatically broadcast across the network so that each user is always
looking at the correct version of the project or topic.
|
|
 |
| Because multiple users can be working on the
project at the same time, the HyperText Studio includes functionality
to allow users to check out a topic so that no one else can edit that
topic while it is already being edited. As soon as a change is
made to a topic the HyperText Studio will ask you if you wish to check
the topic out - only if the answer is yes will the requested change actually
be made.
Topics can also be checked in or out at any time. If a topic that
is checked out is opened by a user other than the one that has checked
it out, it will be opened in read-only mode, allowing users to look at
the topic but not change it. When the topic is checked back in, the topic
(if open) will be updated with the changes made.
|
|
|
| Use the new user administration tool to mange
the users in your company! With the user administration tool you
can add and remove users as well as add and remove groups. Users
can belong to one or more groups, allowing them different levels of access
to each HyperText Studio project (depending on settings in each project). |
