Click the following links to view the same source document in several web-friendly WebWorks ePublisher output formats.
We have deliberately selected conservative formatting options for these samples, typical for technical documentation websites. Add some bright colors or a designer theme, and these formats can be suitable for the snazziest website. In addition to the illustrated output formats, WebWorks can generate outputs such as wiki content, Eclipse Help, JavaHelp, EPUB for mobile devices, PDF, and many others.
WebWorks Help
The popular WebWorks Help format has a classic tripane appearance, suitable for online help that is installed with an application or viewed on a website. WebWorks Help runs on most operating systems and JavaScript-enabled browsers, either locally or on a remote server.
Dynamic HTML
The DHTML format provides single-frame pages suitable for posting on any site. With an optional TOC and Index, it is suitable for both technical documentation and general websites. Users can view DHTML in any browser, either locally or on a remote server.
WebWorks Reverb
Reverb is a fast-performing web-based format, integrated with Google and social media. Users can click the Disqus button to enter comments and questions about the pages, or they can link to Facebook and Tweeter to discuss your product. They can even use the Google Translate integration to read your content in French or Japanese!
As you view Reverb, try changing the size of the browser window. In a large window, Reverb displays a TOC on the left. In a small window, users can click the Contents button to view the TOC. Users can view Reverb on any operating system or browser, from desktop to iPhone or Android.
You must deploy Reverb to a web server. Reverb is not suitable for installation with an application on the user's local computer, unless the application requires a web server.
In our Reverb sample, the search, translate, and social-media links are only partially operative because we have not configured them with active Google, Disqus, Facebook, and Tweeter accounts. We could have removed the links from the output, but we left them in to show you the possibilibities. To view a fully functional Reverb sample, see the Live Implementation on the webworks.com site.
Microsoft HTML Help 1.x (CHM)
For comparison with the web-friendly formats described above, click here to download a CHM output of the same source document. To overcome Windows security restrictions, unzip and right-click the CHM file, and choose Properties > General > Unblock. You can then double-click and view the CHM.
CHM is an excellent tripane help format for applications that are installed locally on Windows computers. CHMs cannot be viewed over a network or from a web server.
