Explore HelpNDoc’s Markdown documentation features, including Markdown import, export, publishing templates, and workflow improvements for technical writers, developers, static site generators, wikis, and AI-friendly documentation pipelines.
HelpNDoc 10.9 introduces brand-new AutoCorrect capabilities with automatic sentence capitalization, double-capital correction, and customizable text shortcuts. It also improves the default HTML template, delivers faster and higher-quality PDF generation, makes Markdown copying more AI-friendly, and adds useful authoring, code editing, and template usability refinements.
Your documentation already contains something incredibly valuable: the knowledge your users need to succeed. Every carefully written explanation, troubleshooting tip, and step-by-step guide can also help an AI assistant answer your users' questions. Imagine giving your readers another way to explore your documentation by chatting with an AI assistant and asking questions such as "How do I get started?" or "Which settings should I use?" Markdown works particularly well as an interchange format for AI tools because it preserves useful structure, such as headings and lists, without unnecessary visual styling. And with HelpNDoc, producing AI-friendly Markdown fits directly into your existing publishing workflow. You can generate it from the same project you already use for help files, websites, manuals, and eBooks. There is no Markdown syntax to learn and no separate version of your documentation to write.
Not every page in an HTML-based documentation website belongs in its main navigation. Privacy policies, terms of service, legal notices, accessibility statements, and other supporting pages must remain published and accessible without cluttering the table of contents. Discover two simple ways to create these standalone pages in HelpNDoc while keeping your documentation clean, professional, and easy to maintain.
HelpNDoc 10.6 introduces new AI assistant tools to help manage documentation projects, as well as nested conditional content for more advanced publishing scenarios. It also offers practical improvements to the topic editor, new TypeScript, Java, and Kotlin code generation templates, and significantly faster Markdown generation. Additionally, HelpNDoc 10.6 provides a variety of performance, stability, and reliability improvements.
Whether you are writing a user manual, a training guide, a course workbook, a nonfiction book, or internal company documentation, the format you choose has a direct impact on how people read and use your content. Two of the most popular formats, PDF and ePub, often appear to serve the same purpose: they both let you package and distribute written material. In practice, they offer very different reading experiences. So which one should you choose? The answer depends on your audience, your content, and how your readers expect to use it. And with HelpNDoc, you may not need to choose at all.
