Text snippets allow you to create blocks of reusable text that can be referenced in topics.

User-friendly navigation links like "Next" and "Previous" in CHM and HTML.

CHM files look more professional when topics contain links to next and previous topics for easier navigation. Users appreciate that.

More advanced professional features make your documentation perfect. "Breadcrumbs" contain links to parent topics for quick access. "See Also" list at the end of the topic contains links to topics that have the same keywords as the current one.
