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

Hi Greg,
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.

sorry, there isn't! You'll need to "roll your own", butremember that PDF are not directly supported in LC.bergsy wrote:So, can anyone tell me if there is an integrated help development facility within the LC environment?

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.
