Hi,

I am about to embark on producing user guide(s) for my LC app. Ideally it would be available as context-sensitive help when a user is in a particular card.

If LC doesn't have something integrated to help then I guess I will build it from scratch and embed PDF documentation.

So, can anyone tell me if there is an integrated help development facility within the LC environment? I tried searching for it but came up with nothing

Thanks

Greg

sorry, there isn't! You'll need to "roll your own", butremember that PDF are not directly supported in LC.

However they can be displayed in a browser object!
Mac OS X supports this right out of the box, on Windows the Acrobat Reader plug-in needs to be installed.

Greg, take a look at the Help stack in my devolution plugin:

If that covers what you need in terms of UI it has some conveniences that make it easy to edit - let me know if it's suitable for you and I'll drop some notes on how to edit it for your stuff.
