Pros/Cons?

Has anyone here converted from Dreamwever to Robohelp and if so, what was your experience? I am looking to switch over and wanted some feedback. Currently, I am using CS3 to manage about 25k files.

Thanks!

    Hi,

    Dreamweaver and RoboHelp have completely different audiences. Dreamweaver is for creating webpages and web applications. RoboHelp is for creating help content. If you want to switch, you can import your existing htm into RoboHelp.

    The question is, what do you want to do? Do you want to create websites, use server side scripting or a database? Choose Dreamweaver. Do you want a help authoring tool designed to help you create and maintain text? Choose RoboHelp. RoboHelp has features that are very usefull for managing contact, such as:

      * Variables

      * Snippets

      * Easy TOC creation

      * Several output types

      * Existing methods for context sensitivity

      * Index creation

    Be sure to visit the HAT-matrix (http://hat-matrix.com/) before making a choice. First determine what you need to do, RoboHelp might be the right tool, but it may not be the right tool for you.

    Greet,

    Willam
