Tool for creating and managing help projects. It focuses on the organization of existing html files, xml files, scripts, images and other resources so that the help author has the best overview of his project. Precision Helper works natively with the Microsoft HTML Help projects format (HHP) and allows to publish resulting help to the CHM, WebHelp, ePUB (e-book), PDF and the single html document formats. Precision Helper is designed for advanced developers and authors, but user-friendly environment enables creating help projects also by novice users.

Changelog:
added: Embedded editor of topics, including the syntax highlighting, code completion, text and code insertion via predefined keystrokes, and including the support for using extensions/add-ons (see bellow). All these features are customizable by defining and selecting your own syntax schemes.
added: Topic templates. Any topic can be saved and used as a template (including an automatic detection of used styles, images, scripts, etc.)
added: Project templates. Any project, including the topics, images, and other files, can be defined and used as a template.
added: Application extensions (Add-Ons). Precision Helper can be extended by user defined add-ons. A command-line and Pascal Script interfaces (including the GUI) are supported.
added: The first extensions are available, such as HTML Tidy, Project statistics, Edit TOC and Index in an external editor, Wizard to create a new project from existing topic files, and more.
added: Now build lists can contain also other formats of compilation (export), such as WebHelp, SingleHTML, etc.
added: Option to automatically add all used files into an "Included files list" (on project save)
added: WebHelp templates, that consist of navigation frames, now contain the ability to directly navigate to desired topic.
