Looking through the TOC for this book, I was impressed at the extent to which it covered the applications of RoboHelp. But, once I started using the book, I found myself spending progressively more time trying to understand what the author was saying. The structure for a good book is here, it just needs a few more months on the desks of some good editors.

I'm converting 170 WinHelp projects created in RoboHelp 4.0 to 13 HTML help projects, and am having to create the project files myself because the Robo engines don't do what I need them to do. I bought this book to get some help and support. I have found answers to many questions in this book. I've used it as a reference, not as a primary resource though. Its usefulness really depends on your current understanding of HTML and what you need to learn. If you need or want to edit the source HTML or your project files, this book could be of use to you.

This book suffers from shortcomings, but to be fair, so does Microsoft's HTML Help SDK. The SDK suffers from a sloppy user interface, modal windows that should be modeless, some unbelievable bugs, etc., and you can see that it has made the book less useful than it could be. Specifically, the book is missing information that users of a reasonably well-debugged application should not need, such as a list of bugs, features never implemented, features that don't work correctly, etc. The other reviews for this book are on the money as to this book's problems. To learn to use HTML Help, I found this book useful, but you must supplement it with information that you can get from web sites that devote themselves to HTML Help issues. These sites point out the bugs and other issues that HTML Help authors absolutely need to know about.
