I've used RH before and was glad to upgrade. I'm looking for a repository of assistance, tidbits of wisdom and all that jazz for software developers trying to 'hook' the help system to their project. They use C# and want to use .chm because it is 'easier'.

They use C# and want to use .chm because it is ‘easier’. (yuk) Where do I get help for these guys?

Right now, I write all of my documentation in vi, complete with DocBook tags, and then compile it into PDF and HTML outputs. But I don't have the kind of control I want over design and layout. We need to produce attractive PDF manuals, HTML versions of the same, help files, and training videos. So I've been investigating ATCS and MadCap's offerings. I would appreciate any resources or suggestions you have that might help me make the best decision. I am nervous about the MadCap suite for its youth and lack of broad acceptance, and nervous about ATCS for its impression of bloatware and questionable standards support. I do like its DITA push, however. Anyway... keep writing awesome posts!<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('56303','Douglas K.

Is there a way to add a generic "previous topic" and "next topic" hyperlink to a master page?
