      This thread, or topic, deals with both Quadralay's WebWorks Publisher Pro and WebWorks Publisher SE.

      A late add-on is general online-help creation information (which I may split out if the topic is received with unbridled enthusiasm).

          WebWorks Publisher Pro versus SE and Resources

          WebWorks Publisher is a product of Quadralay Corporation. Checkout the following resources for information and support:

          http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wwp-users

          http://www.webworks.com

          There are two flavors of Quadralay's WebWorks Publisher: WebWorks Publisher Standard Edition and WebWorks Publisher Professional Edition.

          WebWorks Publisher Standard Edition:

          WWP SE is included with FrameMaker 6. Think of it as an export filter to export FrameMaker to HTML and XML. You cannot use this software, which is essentially a light version of WWP Pro, to create customized templates for creating online help. WWP SE is available on those platforms that Adobe supports for FrameMaker 6.

          WebWorks Publisher Professional Edition:

          WebWorks Publisher Pro is a conversion tool that lets you create online help directly from FrameMaker files--*.book and *.fm files. This product claims to let you do single-sourcing because it will take your FrameMaker formats and map them to corresponding WebWorks layouts, which in turn define the deliverables. Of course, you must spend some time up-front designing and assigning mappings, default page layouts, and the like.

          WebWorks Publisher Pro lets you create WinHelp (*.HLP), Sun Microsystems' JavaHelp (can be *.JAR), various flavors of uncompiled HTML-based help, WebWorks Help (an uncompiled, cross-platform, browser independent online help format--eHelp's WebHelp is similar in concept), and CHMs, Microsoft's proprietary HTML format. XML output is also supported.

          WWP Pro is not available on the Mac.
