I am looking forward to reasoned arguments, insightful comments, and enlightened musings regarding the art of technical writing.

Hi,
I am trying to improve the online help system for my company. It is a JSP-based application that, currently, just has an every-JSP-page link to full-document PDF files. I want to make it more granular and context sensitive.
The next-generation architecture which will show up in a 1st quarter ‘07 release will add Struts and AJAX to the straight-JSP approach at present.

Thanks an excellent collection. I don’t like to be picky in a public comment, but I’ll go ahead. The first sentence at the top of this page omits the word _of_. It reads:
Tech Write Tips is a collection of authors with a variety experience in the technical writing industry.
It should read:
Tech Write Tips is a collection of authors with a variety of experience in the technical writing industry.
Even better might be:
Tech Write Tips is a collection of authors with diverse experience in the technical writing industry.
Enough for now! Thanks again.

Now I see I left out a word in my comment! The first sentence should read: Thanks for an excellent collection.

Hi,
I love this blog but I don’t see an RSS feed for the posts, only for the comments. Am I missing it or do you prefer not to syndicate?
Thanks,
Matt

It looks like there isn’t that much activity here in the last few months…
I’ve been blogging (intermittently) about Framemaker, the FDK, alternatives for scripting Framemaker, and other XML/structured document tools for a little whlie at http://www.framemakerfdksource.com/bloggers. I’ve also looked at starting a wiki about Framemaker tools– there are none that seem to be currently maintained… The trick with these projects is always to get to critical mass of content, updates etc.. This is rarely an easy thing. Perhaps we can find some way to collaborate… at least syndicate each other’s content or be in each other’s blogrolls.

I am the confused owner of Flare that only wants to create nice tidy and legible help files from Word documents. My problems if stacked end to end would reach space. This may be a site with enough patient and smart people that could help ease my pain. Whare do I start-what do I do to get some answers to what I deem to be very simple questions. Their support is not an address for most of my questions.
Pleased to be here-anyone there?
