Version 3.6 adds new feature – “Glossary Editor”. There’s now “Glossary” node in the project tree view, below “Keywords” node. It consists of the common Helpinator toolbar with Add, Rename and Delete buttons, list of terms and editor area where you can edit term description like any other topic.

To link from topic content to any term in the glossary you can use “Insert Hyperlink” command. This dialog now has “Glossary” tab with a list of terms.

In CHM mode Helpinator creates additional “Glossary” topic at the end of the project.

In PDF mode it does the same, except this topic is not the last, because “Index” topic exists there too.

Version 3.6 adds new section to the end of PDF, RTF and Printed Manuals. This section is named “Index” and contains project keywords with a list of pages where each keyword occurs. Page numbers are not available in RTF format.

To enable this feature you need to use new 5-page default PDF/RTF template or change your own template from 3-page to 5-page. 4th page is for “Glossary” and 5th for index and it should look like this:

“INDEX” will be replaced with language-specific term for Index from “Language Strings”.

LETTER – capital first letter of the group of keywords. Keywords are grouped by the first letter and sorted alphabetically.

KEYWORD – formatting for the keyword itself.

PAGES – formatting for the list of pages.

In this update:

- Added “Printed manual” output
- Added “Glossary” feature
- Added “Index” section to PDF with page numbers
- Improved web help search
- Bugfixes

Helpinator 3.5 has a new feature – step by step guides.

Step by step guides are sequences of steps, each step has an image (from project image library), step title and short textual step description. When compiling CHM/Web Help Guides turn into Javascript-powered slideshow, when compiling PDF/RTF – into numbered list of images with descriptions.

Here’s how it looks in the editor:

Here’s how you can embed Guide into a topic:

And here’s how it looks in compiled CHM help file:

Here you can see it in action:

This is what you were asking for – minimalistic HTML template with images instead of “Previous” / “Next” text links. This significantly reduces header size leaving more space for content.
