Getting valuable information with the project analyzer
HelpNDoc’s project analyzer concentrates many detailed information about the current project and can be used for reporting, inspection, optimization or troubleshooting purposes.
HelpNDoc’s new project analyzer provides centralized information about project statistics, topic hierarchy, hyperlinks and library items details. The topic hierarchy is displayed as a chart to rapidly spot unbalanced hierarchies or hard to find topics.
The hyperlinks report is a great way to go through all hyperlinks used throughout the project, indicate where they are found, filter them by kind, and spot problematic or duplicate hyperlinks. It will automatically detect and indicate broken hyperlinks which are linked to a missing topic.
The library items report will display all used and un-used library items. It can be used to filter broken library items, which are inserted in a topic but not in the library anymore and un-used items. The most advanced features include automatic similar item selection, where HelpNDoc will automatically analyze all items and select the similar ones, as well as items merging where all items are merged into one throughout the project.
Other additions and enhancements
HelpNDoc 3.8 also provides an history of browsed topics with previous and next buttons to navigate between them. Many other additions and fixes are also available in this update: learn more in the detailed change log below and download your free version of HelpNDoc now.
