Question

Robohelp WebHelp or XML files in a Content Management System

My company is creating a developers portal that will provide tools and documentation for developers using our SDK. We are using the Orchard CMS and are in the process of deciding whether to import the RoboHelp-generated files (either HTML or XML) into the CMS database, or just publish the RoboHelp-generated files on the server and link to them from the CMS. Does anyone have any experience importing RoboHelp output into a CMS? I'm afriad the import process is going to be difficult. I'm also concerned that I won't get all of the features that I use like the index or glossary when it's imported into a different CMS.

Thanks for any information you can provide me.

Carrie

    I wonder if you might do better asking this question in a more general forum such as HATT in Yahoo Groups.

    OK, I'll try that. I just thought that since I'm asking specifically about RoboHelp-generated files, a RoboHelp forum would be a good place to ask. Still think it is actually....

    I'm not saying it was wrong to ask here. It was just that you weren't getting any response and different people follow HATT. It occurred to me that someone there who did not follow this forum may have had experience of your scenario OR there might be someone with experience of Orchard who might have used it with some other authoring tool and been able to say that did or did not work.
