Overview

InfoDev Tools is the single source for all applications, support tools and links required for authoring Information Development webhelp.

Prior to InfoDev Tools, the collection authoring tools and environment files were distributed in several separate packages. While this is helpful when updating individual tools or files, it is easier for authors to create a more customized environment, which in turn makes supporting the environments more arduous.

InfoDev Tools contains the following tools, information and benefits:
  • a single source to install all required tools, and framework and support files
  • an single identifiable location for installation and setup information
  • PubAssist: the publising application designed to simplify the process of publishing documentation to the InfoDev servers
  • USBWebserver: a local web server designed to emulate InfoDev servers
  • Various other tools and links to InfoDev sites and pages you access daily
