What is HelpEdit?

HelpEdit is the free Windows help authoring software for creating organized documentation projects, software manuals, help files, and user guides. It is intended for developers, documentation writers, and software publishers who need a straightforward tool for preparing help content for their products.

The program uses a topic-based project structure, allowing users to build a clear table of contents and manage documentation pages in a logical hierarchy. Topic pages can be edited visually and may include formatted text, images, tables, hyperlinks, keywords, and reusable content elements.

HelpEdit can publish documentation in several common formats, including WebHelp, CHM, and PDF, so the same project can be used for online help, classic Windows help files, and printable manuals. It also supports HTML import, snippets, variables, conditional content, and appearance settings for fonts, colors, links, headers, and page layout.
