I'm a college student studying technical communications and am researching Robohelp for a project.  I was wondering if someone could explain to me simply the difference between these two robohelp programs.

    In a nutshell:

    Robohelp HTML is the software used to write your content, generate to multiple different formats (webhelp, chm, AIR, etc) and publish to a final location.

    Robhelp Server is a server application designed to run the "Pro" outputs generated by Robohelp HTML. This provides additional functionality not provided by the "vanilla" outputs, such as reports, feedback, and advanced search functionality.

    I don't use Server, so perhaps someone else can correct any errors on my part.
