Document! X is a combination of an automated documentation tool and a full authoring environment which can be used to create, publish and maintain accurate, professional quality documentation for .NET, Web Services, Databases, XSD Schemas, COM Components and Type Libraries, Java and jаvascript.

Document! X is not just an automated documentation build tool - it includes a fully featured documentation authoring environment allowing you to supplement the automatically generated content where required.

Why Use Document! X?
Developing accurate documentation, particularly for complex components or database schemas, has traditionally been a time consuming, costly and skills intensive task. Documentation during development can be seen as a moving target and at the end of a project developers are often immediately re-assigned to new development tasks, which can leave most projects poorly documented.

With Document! X, documentation can be automatically produced throughout design and development without requiring investment of developer resources, providing development teams with an accurate and up to date reference and allowing new developers to jump the learning curve of new components and schemas. Document! X makes producing documentation a natural and productive activity for developers and technical writers alike.

Content Authoring Options
You can choose to author content in your Source Code (using .NET xml source comments, Web Service Definition descriptions, SQL Server Extended Properties, SQL/T-SQL/PL-SQL source comments, XSD Annotations, jаvascript JsDoc or Xml format source comments, Java Javadoc format source comments, COM HelpStrings ) and/or using the rich authoring environment of the Content File editor.

This flexibility allows you to include basic documentation in the source code and use the rich Document! X Content File editor to author extended content or make post-development edits.

Visual Studio Integration
Document! X integrates seamlessly with Visual Studio® 2010-2019. Documentation Projects can be created, opened and built directly from your Visual Studio solution. A Visual Comment Editor is included for creating and maintaining your source code comments in Visual Basic .NET, C#, C++/CLI and F# source code.

Author and maintain your Visual Basic .NET, C#, C++/CLI or F# source code comments directly within a preview of how the generated documentation will look.

Sourcing
Single Sourcing means using a single project to create multiple outputs. In HelpStudio you can leverage Build Profiles, Build Flags, Project Properties, Rules and a range of filter options to create multiple outputs from a single project source.

Booklet Editor
A HelpStudio project can contain any number of PDF Booklets. The PDF Booklet Editor is used to define the content and properties of a specific Booklet that you wish to generate. Easily add members to the booklet by dragging and dropping them from the Project Explorer or Table of Contents, or simply re-use the Table of Contents layout from your online ouptut.
