RoboHelp X5 Review

I've downloaded RoboHelp X5 from Macromedia. Apparently this is THE help editor.

I have to say that I'm a little disappointed. The user interface is clunky. Some forms need to be able to re-size, but can't. That's just plain lazy, sloppy coding. The error messages aren't helpful at all. Overall it was just a pain to work with.

In true movie-critic style - I give RoboHelp 2/5 stars.

Surely there must be something better out there?

My requirements are straight-forward. I've got an NDoc-generated help file. I want to write additional help documents that can link to the NDoc help file (yes, I know there are ways RoboHelp can do this, but going through RoboHelp's leeengthy process to achieve this is not worth the effort).
